Logging Dump1090 data on the Pi

[FlightwatchNL]

Hi all,

I currently use a Pi3 with dump1090-fa that broadcasts the data to another laptop running planneplotter. PP then generates log of aircraft that I am interested in.

I’m wondering; is this also possible without PP? So is there software or a script out there that you can configure to log callsign / aircraft type (based on a basestation) / Hex and date & time.

That’s all I really need. I have been looking in this forum and also elsewhere but I can’t seem to find it.

Thanks in advance!

Following threads may not be exactly what you want, but are good read to give you some insight:

Exploring Port 30003 and 30106

. (1) Configure PuTTY for Telnet to Pi port 30003 [port-30003-logger-1] . (2) Configure PuTTY to save data in a csv file (30003.csv) [port-30003-logger-2] . (3) Data stream displayed on PuTTY [port-30003-logger-3] . (4) Data saved in file 30003.csv, displayed in MS Excel [port-30003-logger-4] . (5) Reference Table 1 [port-30003-logger-5A] [port-30003-logger-5B] . (6) Reference Table 2 [port-30003-logger-6] . Source of Reference Tables: http://woodair.net/sbs/Article/Barebo…

 

how to log dump1090 output to file on pi?

Virtual Radar Server might do the things you need. It will keep a database with all the statistics. You can select periods, plane registrations, plane models, plane operators and more.

 

Data logger

Hi. I was wanting to record aircraft that fly into a small country airstrip as a means of showing what type of aircraft are coming to the strip. Can a USB storage device be used to record unlimited captures in a CSV file or similar for filtering a spreadsheet? I would be using a small aerial (internal) so as not to capture too many distant aircraft, just the ones within a few miles the strip keeping the amount of data to a minimum? What would the code required to achieve this objective? Thanks…

 

Data logger

here is all you need to track, record and filter aircrafts - newest versions on github: Daily Log/E-Mail Aircraft Report directly on your RaspberryPi Dump1090 MySQL Database Script with Alert and Filter GitHub - TomMuc1/Dump1090-Daily-Aircraft-Report: short script that reports daily aircrafts from dump1090 GitHub - TomMuc1/Dump1090-MySQL-Alert-Filter: a simple php script that makes use of Dump1090-mutability aircraft.json and filters/writes to MySQL

Be sure to collect data on both 1080 and 978. A lot of small aircraft use 978. Also be sure and collect TIS-B data if possible to get best coverage of aircraft in your area.
Depending on your area, there may be several aircraft that do not have either ADS-B 1080 or 978.

NL, Netherlands. 978 won’t really apply.

Thanks all!

I will look into the options and see if I can get it working.

I’m now trying the ac_counter stuff mentioned by data logger but up to this point no log visible in the folder… Maybe the specific settings are not correct yet.

Thanks again!

Hi!

I’m working with the ac_counter.php script at the moment. It actually creates a log file but it is not populated with data.

I assume this is related to the json file or something like that. Any ideas?

Should I link to /run/dump1090-fa as the folder in ac_counter.php or to http://127.0.0.1/run/dump1090-fa/

?
