Feeders are awesome. Be awesome! It's the feeders that make it all go. We love feeders and would love for you to be part of that community! Here's how to get started... AVIAR Labs offers two types of plug-n-play feeders in our Be Awesome hardware line... The "Breathmint", a mini-mobile feeder designed and built by AVIAR Labs and the "Warthog", a larger dual-band unit supplied by the great folks at ADSB Exchange. All units include specialized SDR's (software defined radio USB dongle) from ADSB Exchange. What's more, if you purchase an AVIAR Labs feeder you will receive a full year of SkyGlass for free!
If you want to do-it-yourself you need three components: A Raspberry Pi microcomputer (ideally with wifi support) At least one SDR with a 1090 mHz antenna (to pick up aircraft transponder signals) The ADSB Exchange boot image burned onto a microSD card (to drive the pi and feed into ADSBx system which in turn supplies SkyGlass) Once assembled, connect the Pi to your local network, configure the settings, and place your antenna. Setup can be done in minutes and your private feed can be displayed directly in SkyGlass! If you already have the right gear but just want to connect your feed to the ADSB Exchange system, visit the Adsb Exchange website for those details. See the additional FAQ for details on how to show your feed in SkyGlass.
