RevFlight tracker
With a simple RTL-SDR it's possible to receive flight "beacons" which a commercial aircraft emits. There is software which in combination with an DVB-t receiver can show the planes flying in the area.
Setup
- Connect your DVB-T receiver
- git clone git@github.com:MalcolmRobb/dump1090.git
- Run `make` (note that you need to have rtl-sdr installed)
Note: On Arch use the dump1090-git package from the AUR
Running
- Run ./dump1090 --interactive --net
- Open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser to see an interactive google map
