Another project.
Been having a lot of fun playing around with the Raspberry Pi, learning Python and generally staring at buggy code.
Was reading some blog posts (here, here, here, here, here) about someone's ADS-B system. There is a large military airport across the water from me so I sprang for their receiver ($20). They give you the app for the Pi and if you choose to upload your data, they will give you an executive subscription to their flight tracking service. Looks like a win/win situation to me as I can find out what is happening overhead (sometimes really curious) and they can use the data from my system.
I'll post more as I start getting data - got to hack together an antenna and get everything set up first.
