Airplanes
This is a real-time stream of airplane positions based on SBS1 data above my home. Here are the currently detected airplanes (updated live):
The data is collected via an ADSB stick. Here is an image of the ADSB stick connected to a Raspberry Pi Nano.
The Rasberry Pi is running dump1090-fa.
Here is the antenna on the balcony.
Without the antenna, it did not work at all.
The data is forwarded to adsbhub.org.
