An ADS-B decoder described as a swiss knife for decoding aircraft data. This project is a fork of Mictronics' readsb and supports various Software Defined Radio devices such as RTL-SDR, HackRF, Bladerf, and PlutoSDR. It offers robust networking options including Beast/SBS protocols and JSON output, making it an ideal backend for global flight tracking systems like tar1090.
Main topics:
ADS-B decoding via SDR hardware
Extensive network connectivity support (Beast, SBS, JSON)
Integration with mapping tools like tar1090
Support for multiple SDR device types

An improved web interface designed for use with ADS-B decoders such as readsb and dump1090-fa. This tool provides an enhanced visual experience for tracking aircraft, featuring adjustable history, faster performance when displaying many planes, multiple map options, and the ability to select multiple aircraft simultaneously.
Key features and capabilities:
- Improved adjustable track history
- Fast "Show All Tracks" functionality
- Map dimming/darkening options
- Aircraft selection and callsign label toggling
- Support for UAT (978 MHz) display integration
- Integration with AIS-catcher for maritime tracking
- Capability to host multiple instances and custom webroots
- Heatmap visualization support when used with compatible readsb forks

Mode-S demodulator written in C++ with CRC-based message framing. Stream1090 is a proof of concept implementation taking a different approach in order to identify mode-s messages in an SDR signal stream. Most implementations look for the so-called preamble (a sequence of pulses anounncing a message). Stream1090 skips this step and maintains directly a set of shift registers. Based on the CRC sum and other criteria, messages are being identified. The hope is that in high traffic situations, a higher overall message rate can be achieved compared to a preamble based approach.
An aircraft monitor based on Charlie Gerard's JavaScript Aircraft Radar System. It requires an RTL-SDR USB dongle and a WebUSB capable browser.
PySpecSDR is a Python-based Software Defined Radio (SDR) spectrum analyzer with real-time visualization, demodulation, and signal analysis capabilities.
rtl_433 is an open-source program designed to decode radio transmissions from various devices operating on ISM bands. It supports RTL-SDR and SoapySDR and can decode a wide range of sensors, including temperature, humidity, and rain gauges. The software is written in C and is known for its low resource consumption.
