It works by picking up signals from aircraft and showing their positions on a radar-style display. Aircraft in flight continuously broadcast information about themselves, including their location. These radio signals use a technology called ADS-B. My system receives these radio signals using a 1090 MHz radio antenna. The signals are then processed by a software called Dump1090, which decodes the radio messages and converts the data into JSON format that can be used by 'plane tracker.pu . Once the aircraft’s latitude and longitude are decoded, the system converts these coordinates into X and Y pixel positions. This allows each aircraft to be displayed accurately on the radar screen in its live position. Demo Video https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/47664e26-9741-456e-98a1-10eecfc91036 GUI This is the GUI, it displays aircraft in their live position which get updated everytime a new ADS-B signal is received for that aircraft, after the aircraft is updated the old position is saved on the radar display creating a historical trajectory over time. A mouse can be used to select different aircraft to view their stats such as their altitude, airline, aircraft type and more, if an aircraft is not selected by the user the program will display the stats of the nearest aircraft. The GUI also includes statistics from the past 24 hours, information about the currently slected aircrfat, logs, system performance, a polar plot to ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/PrzemekWasinski","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/PrzemekWasinski/PlaneTracker/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
