#dumpvdl — Public Fediverse posts

Right now my rough mapping source list is:

#ACARS (PoA)
#dumpvdl
#satcom x 2. #Basestation Jaero and satcom ACARS with lat/lon
#dumphfdl
#Node-RED (assorted stuff with lat/lon - Iridium for example)

Primary goal is either one map with civil and military layers or two URLs.

You got it! The antenna picks up the RF from the aircraft and feeds it to the #SDR (30 dollar software defined radio ie, USB dongle) and then the #raspberrypi etc runs #dumpvdl and you get #JSON out.
The dumpvdl config contains the USB device number, the 4-6 or so frequencies to listen on etc.
Here is a nice short sample of the JSON direct from the decoder (ie, it has both name:value).

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Added two Aussie stations to the map while we were at it.
@scanSydney and @airman941 enter the rabbit hole that is #dumpvdl and #nodered #worldmap
Mostly just testing stuff. @AirframesIO is doing the real mapping.
Its more an 'excuse' for me to yell at #JSON and #JavaScript

Im on the fence about how much a non-coder like me should rant about coding stuff like #JSON.
I clearly don't understand it even after many years of trying to use it.
Long story short, this evening, I used some cut/paste #JavaScript to add labels and #dumpvdl data to #nodered

Here is last nights #dumpVDL #ACARS messages for the SoCal/Arizona area.
The air band antenna picks up the signal, usual #RTLSDR v 3 receives it, #RaspberryPi running #dumpvdl decodes it, MQTT sends the JSON, #nodered extracts the lat/lon and plots it on the map.

Night flight patterns are always quiet, as are weekends, going to let it run and see what we get.
