I'm running an ADS-B receiver and decoder for aircraft position monitoring using the OpenSky kit from Jetvision. To make a really neat mount for the antenna, I'm machining an adaptor collar to fix the white-stick colinear to the top of a tubular mast. My Colchester lathe and Bridgeport milling machine do the usual nice job. With AIMEE's help of course. For certain VERY specialized definitions of "help".
No CAD design needed this time, but I'm learning to use my new Sony A7 IV camera, which is taking up all my limited brain power. Next episode will conclude this little project with a detailed run-through of the software and electronic setup. Spoiler alert: It's all working very nicely!
The reason I'm doing this is to help contribute to the service provided by OpenSky which allows the most excellent Airscout radio plan scatter prediction system to get aqn ADS-B aggregated feed. That is great for radio experimenters, especially on microwaves as we can bounce signals off aircraft to reach distances of 800 km or more,
