This guide provides instructions and scripts for the automatic installation of wiedehopf's readsb decoder on ADS-B receiving systems. It covers features such as easy gain and location adjustments, automatic reconfiguration of fr24feed or rbfeeder to work with the standalone decoder, and the removal of conflicting decoders.
This Hackaday article details a DIY passive radar system built to track aircraft by analyzing existing radio wave reflections. Unlike traditional radar, this system doesn't emit its own signal, instead relying on signals already present in the environment, specifically those used for ADS-B transmissions. The system uses a nine-element Yagi antenna to capture these reflections and a computer program to compare the direct and reflected signals, identifying aircraft.
Friend or Foe is an open-source Android app that identifies aircraft and drones in real time using augmented reality. It combines ADS-B data, FAA Remote ID, WiFi analysis, and visual detection to overlay labels on the camera view, providing information about flying objects overhead. The project was built using AI tools like Claude, Grok, Codex, and Gemini, showcasing the potential of AI-assisted development. It offers features like AR viewfinders, multi-source detection, smart classification, and a drone reference guide, all functioning without requiring accounts or API keys.
