Tracking aircraft using ADSB and Virtual Radar Server (VRS) on a Raspberry Pi
In this post, I will explain how I set up an ADS-B receiver station using a Raspberry Pi. I will also explain how to set up Virtual Radar Server (VRS), which is a visual display of the received and decoded aircraft data. I have set up my own Virtual Radar Server here. To set this…… Continue reading Tracking aircraft using ADSB and Virtual Radar Server (VRS) on a Raspberry Pi
