Are there any pilots in the group?<br>
<br>
Or maybe anyone that likes to monitor airplanes going around,<br>
especially with the ADS-B?<br>
<br>
I've run across this really fun thing called 'stratux' that is (almost<br>
complete) ADS-B in and for less than $130. Computer of choice for it<br>
at the moment is the Raspberry Pi 2.<br>

As a professional and military pilot, I have operated in some scary conditions and used ADS-B as a primary source of tracking where there is no radar coverage.<br>
<br>
I have successfully used a Raspberry Pi and a cheap RTL-chip based dongle to receive and serve position, speed, altitude and flight number information on aircraft in a large, 200 Nautical mile area. The Pi runs on a wi-fi network and acts as a server for any web browser equipped device and displays a map with all the aircraft.<br>
<br>
The Pi software is 1090dump, and there are many other applications for receiving and displaying ADS-B data. For a total investment of $40.00 (including the Raspberry Pi), I think that is a good project for pilots and non-pilots who are curious about hos the system works...<br>
<br>
The commercial products are basically the same components in a sexy box, with a sexy price.<br>
