DumpSBS

Golang tool to connect to ADS-B receivers like readsb or dump1090, or services like ADS-B Hub via SBS protocol and dump data to files. New file will be created hourly.

netcat can do basic dumping fine, but this tool also does filtering and dump file rotation

Add this to /etc/cron.hourly/ to compress those files:

#!/bin/sh
find /opt/dumpsbs/logs -mmin +90 -name '*.csv' -exec zstd -9 --rm {} \;

type SBS struct {
	MessageType      string
	TransmissionType int
	SessionID        int       // With dump1090, this is always 1
	AircraftID       int       // With dump1090, this is always 1
	HexIdent         string    // Aircraft Mode S hexadecimal code
	FlightID         int       // With dump1090, this is always 1
	TimeGenerated    time.Time // Protocol does not contain timezone data
	TimeLogged       time.Time // Protocol does not contain timezone data

	CallSign          string // Eight digit flight ID. Can be anything at all
	Altitude          int    // Mode C altitude. Height relative to 1013.2mb (Flight Level). Not height AMSL.
	GroundSpeed       float64
	Track             float64 // In dump1090, this is the aircraft's heading. Elsewhere, the track of the craft derived from the velocity E/W and velocity N/S
	Latitude          float64
	Longitude         float64
	VerticalRate      int
	Squawk            string // Assigned Mode A Squawk code
	SquawkChangeAlert int    // Flag to indicate the squawk has changed
	Emergency         int    // Flag to indicate the emergency code has been set
	SPI               int    // Flag to indicate the transponder ident has been activated
	IsOnGround        int    // Flag to indicate the ground squat switch is active
}
