  • graphs1090

    Graphs for readsb / dump1090-fa / dump1090 (based on dump1090-tools by mutability)

  • https://github.com/wiedehopf/graphs1090 The FA dashboard is a bit of a joke too. It's really here to bamboozle the masses and placate them.

  • tar1090

    Provides an improved webinterface for use with ADS-B decoders readsb / dump1090-fa

  • One of thing to look at how 'good' your feeder is would be tar1090 ?pTracks when combined with Heywhatsthat.com range outline. That will give you an idea of how well it's performing versus theoretical. https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090

  • dump1090

    Dump1090 is a simple Mode S decoder for RTLSDR devices (by flightaware)

  • Alternatively you could go back to the original data at e.g. https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090/blob/master/tools/flightaware-20200924.csv.xz and convert to a data format that works for you.

  • piaware_parser

    Save local aircraft data to your own records.

  • I've be very very interested! I decided to use ADSBexchange.com for the time being and added a few other API's to make this thing (https://github.com/cribdragg3r/piaware_parser) more robust such as AWS S3 support and Twilio to verify uptime and exceptions.
