[Support] ADS-B Tracker


Darren Kitchen

Recommended Posts

Hi all. I've written an Infusion as a front-end to dump1090. This allows you to nicely track aircraft from your WiFi Pineapple.

The infusion requires firmware version 1.1.1+ as that's where we implemented native support for the oh-so-fun RTL-SDR. I've tested it with the DVB-T dongles we (and many others) offer in the HakShop.

The infusion allows you to configure a few parameters, start and stop the service, list beacon frames and see aircraft in a realtime map.

Map view

Change log:

1.1

- fixed map tab to work with any pineapple IP (it has previously been hard coded to 172.16.42.1)

- prettied up map and list tab in case dump1090 daemon isn't running

1.0

- initial release

Nice! Didn't know you guys started selling an SDR kit.... Just picked one up so I can check this out. Also pretty sure I've seen some SDR software in Kali to play with the other functions.

Yep it's installed on internal memory and I can't access map that way either does the same as clicking on map (just sits loading). List view actually loaded once last night for first time but didn't find any beacons. The strange thing is, whenever I go to pineapple bar and look at available infusions it has an update option for ADS-B every time.

It seams to have an issue as well when installed on sd card, the css and the js are not loaded correctly due to the $rel_dir var which is not set correctly. When installed on sd card, the path becomes:

http://__IP__:1471/sd/infusions/adsbtracker/includes/styles.css

instead of

http://__IP__:1471/components/infusions/adsbtracker/includes/styles.css.

Simple to fix though: just simply use the complete path:

<script type='text/javascript' src='/components/infusions/adsbtracker/includes/helpers.js'></script>

instead of

<script type='text/javascript' src='<?=$rel_dir?>includes/helpers.js'></script>

Can't wait for my SDR to show up... And now we know where barry99705 is. :)

For the most part I've never really hidden where I live. I mean, look at my handle. It had my zipcode! This postcard didn't make it, but he put it back in an envelope and sent it to the school district where I worked, just my first name, made it to my desk. This was back when the netstumbler forums was the place to be.

I was just messing with you assuming it was somewhere near Fort Wayne, Indianna due to the screenshot you provided. Honestly it hadn't really occurred to me that those five digits might be a zip code. And that's an excellent Douglas Adams quote... :)

Okay, I looked in my parts bin, and found enough junk to build a quarter wave ground plane antenna. Found a rp-tnc female end(what's on the antenna of a wrt-54g) and a u-fl to rp-tnc male bulkhead connector for the antenna. I followed the sizes from this pdf.

Here's the connector.

It ain't pretty, but the soldering holds, and that's the important part!

Little(okay a lot) hot glue to keep things from moving around. The feed antenna is soldered to the pin from the u-fl connector, so it's smaller than a sewing needle. Checked with a multimeter to make sure it's not shorted.

Just as a test I put it outside and just set it on the railing of my porch. My office is on the second floor, and I have my own porch! Some day I'll put a deck on it I can actually walk on....

Here's what I could see. Farthest out plane was 160 miles! My deck faces north, so that's why I'm not seeing too much to the south of me I'm actually surprised I don't see more. I'm only about 45 minutes away from Dayton international.

Looks like 1.3.0 broke the infusion. I can start it, but if I click on the list view or the map view it locks up the browser. I also can't connect to it remotely from another device on the network.

Works fine for me here..

Once you click start, can you reach it at PINEAPPLE_IP:9090 or PINEAPPLE_IP:9090/output?

Anyway, give it a shot again, maybe it just got stuck :)

Best Regards,

Sebkinne

I couldn't last night. Flashed back to 1.2 so I could use it today. I'll flash back in a few minutes and try again.

Well crap. It's working now.

Nothing to see here, move along! :rolleyes:
