Portable DIY ADS-B receiver with WIFI and WAAS GPS
In 2012 I purchased an ADS-B dual channel receiver to provide in-flight weather. It worked but it did’t work with my Android tablet.
So I wrote ADS-B on Android Application and released it free here. The ADS-B on Android application is used with the RF-1 USB hardware available here. I also have a Pro version located here. I found that the tablet did not have the processing power to demodulate the data and display the traffic on a the moving map. Also the USB hardware used a lot of power and drained the tablet battery. This project solves these issue using a single board computer (SBC) development board.
The goal of this project is to build RF-2 a portable ADS-B receiver that sends in-flight weather and traffic to a tablet computer over WiFi.
