Quick guide for creating and using ADS-B on Raspberry Pi

You will need a RTL-2832U USB dongle that has its frequencies included 1.09 GHz - not all fix this.

Download wheezy image from here

start with settings for the local wifi system


update and upgrade the system

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

You need a setup for sdr-rtl software first

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ sudo apt-get install cmake
$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev 
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

install the RTL-2832U USB dongle software

$ git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
$ cd rtl-sdr
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

do a reboot and try a first contact to the dongle

$ sudo reboot

$ rtl_test

For trouble on this first part see here


On the second part install the ADS-B software dump1090

$ cd
$ git clone git://github.com/MalcolmRobb/dump1090.git

$ cd dump1090
$ make

To run this please start to see a plane list and get a server run

$ ./dump1090 --interactive --net

See README.md for more help


At the end when all is running set up your AFTrack with this gps settings:
- AIS server settings: ip of your raspi
- TCP Port: 30003
- Select TCP
- check use AIS server

- please also have a visit at Display Settings
  There is an option AIS settings, check the use AIS dock

When using the Stratux project


When the project is running set up your AFTrack with this gps settings:

With  GPS and ADSB messages

- Online server settings:
- UDP Port: 4000
- Select UPD
- Check online GPS to use Stratux server

otherwise
select the AIS/ADS-B server function and set the port to UDP 4000

if you are connected AFTrack places a sign in the status line
