So how does it all work?
This radar is run by a single ADSB receiver! Ultimately, we will be expanding to increase our range and capabilities soon!
The radar is currently being driven by a Raspberry Pi, running an array of software, including Dump1090 (used to decode the ADSB data), tar1090 (a fantastic skin to replace the default Dump1090 interface, created by wiedehopf), and a simple logging script by cactusprojects.com.
Through Piaware and fr24feed, the data is submitted to FlightAware and FlightRadar24.
The ADSB data is received through a RadarBox 1090mhz aerial, and flight stick, giving a peak range of around 160 nautical miles (fairly decent considering my geographical location!)
Tar1090 shows the active locations of the aircraft detected by our radar. (The location of the receiver is not the actual receiver's location by the way ;) )
