Data format

We are considering installing a FlightFeeder ADS-B receiver. The Flight Aware web site says that “Users can connect to their FlightFeeder over their LAN to receive all data.”. Can anyone help with providing a sample of the format of the raw data from the FlightFeeder?

PiAware and FlightFeeder both have the same ports open for outputting data. If you make your program work with PiAware it will also work with a FlightFeeder.

Port 30002 is AVR formatted and look like the following:

*006181B095FF8E;
*59A695B861373C;
*006181B095FF8E;
*006601B04DC26D;
*5DA17DE2275047;
*0061819F6B9E76;
*59A695B861373C;
*5FA8163DC8AF03;

Port 30003 is SBS formatted and looks like the following:

Port 30005 is Beast formatted output. It is binary data so it can’t be displayed easily.
