ADS-B TUI
An ADS-B receiver for the terminal, built around<br>mapscii-py.
The decoder is known to work with Airspy Mini and RTL-SDR dongles through<br>SoapySDR.
Installation
I recommend using conda to create a clean and throwaway environment.
conda create -n adsb -c conda-forge python=3.13<br>conda activate adsb<br>python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
for Airspy Mini:
conda install -c conda-forge airspy soapysdr-module-airspy
for RTL-SDR
conda install -c conda-forge rtl-sdr soapysdr-module-rtlsdr
Usage
Connect your SDR to your computer. Use an antenna appropriate for 1090Mhz. For the RTL-SDR antenna kit: use the shorter antenna fully retracted. It should be about 6cm long on each side.
python3 adsb_tui.py airspy
or
python3 adsb_tui.py rtlsdr
The Airspy profile tunes to 1090 MHz, samples at 3 MS/s, and sets the LNA,<br>mixer, and VGA gains to 14.
The RTL-SDR profile tunes to 1090 MHz, samples at 2 MS/s, and sets the tuner<br>gain to 40 dB.
Keyboard controls
m: show or hide the map
l: show or hide the aircraft list
g: open or close the SDR gain dialog
j/k or arrow keys: scroll the aircraft list
q: quit
In the gain dialog, use up/down to select a gain stage and left/right (or<br>-/+) to adjust it. The available stages, limits, and step sizes come from<br>the connected device, so Airspy and RTL-SDR expose their own controls.
When only the map or the aircraft list is visible, it uses the available<br>terminal space.
Receiver position and map
Set the receiver position with --receiver-lat and --receiver-lon:
python3 adsb_tui.py \<br>--receiver-lat 47.4979 \<br>--receiver-lon 19.0402 \<br>airspy
