A simple GUI for viewing ADS-B data received with GNURadio

Licence GPLV3

Authors Thomas Lavarenne, Christophe Seguinot

Features

This simple GUI was written in the objectives to:

• Decode ADS-B frames received with a GNURadio ADS-B receiver
• Display decoded data in a table and on an OSM 'flight radar' map in real time
• running on any platform with GNURadio installed without the need to install/compile third apparty tool (no further dependancies needed)
• be compatible with python 2 and 3 versions

Requirements

• in order to browse a "flight radar" map you must have a browser able to read local file i.e. bypassing the 'Same-Origin-Policy' For Local Files. This has been test with Chromium and can be configured in user preferences to use other browser.

How-to

• Run gui_adsb.py (python gui_adsb.py)
• Read help and how-to tabs

ToDo list

• implement unit conversion (partially done)
• improve adsb_receiver.grc flowgraph
  • test https://factorialabs.com/2018/05/ improved bloc correlate access code Tag with packet length
  • Test Paul Boven (Jive, Netherlands) solution using payload/header demux
  • test Cyrille Morin (INSA, Lyon) solution using a "python bloc" (adsb_burst_divider.grc).
  • implement a self adjusted threshold in the OOK receiver
