[[User:Mid|mid]] and Balint installed an antenna tuned for 1090MHz on the noisebridge antenna masts. It runs to [[bunny]], a Geode LX800 motherboard with a [http://www.microadsb.com/ microADS-B] PIC decoder inside a NMEA/IP-67-rated weatherproof can powered over fake-PoE. It's running Voyage Linux, why not. In testing, it has been able to follow aircraft over 150 miles away (we picked up the Aeroflot flight from LAX to Moscow on the other side of the Sierra last weekend, as well as flights en route over Paso Robles). | [[User:Mid|mid]] and Balint installed an antenna tuned for 1090MHz on the noisebridge antenna masts.

Currently it is not operational due to interference issues between the motherboard and the PIC (and perhaps a host of other problems). [[User:Mid|mid]], [[User:jbm|jbm]], and Balint have a plan! It likely involves aluminium foil and gobs more electrical tape. Also the mounting+cabling is a crime against engineering—we'll fix it ASAP. | |||
