That is a good question. So far ***every*** ADS-B demonstrations I have seen on YT, websites, and in real life (MakerFaire) have all used an internet connection. Which then I ask why set up with a dongle and antenna when you already have internet access anyway?
I've had three systems running for years now. I feed to Flightaware as well as Flightradar24 as well as my own local system running Planeplotter (which used to feed to both Flightaware and Flightradar). Unfortunately Flightaware have ceased receiving data from Planeplotter. I'm a ham operator so have quite a few antenna's on my roof.
If I am not mistaken, AIS for tracking ships works nearly the same. This can also be done with this setup I guess. Very interesting video by the way :)
If you setup goes down then you get an email after 6 hours telling you and then your account get reverted to the free one. When your setup is back up you instantly get the business account again.
Nice! We recently had an exchange over your Arduino v pi video from yesterday. @4:18, you had a picture of pi and equipment on this vid. Is that an accurate representation of an antenna that works, or do I usually need a bigger one/outside location (for optimal use)? I will be researching my SDR card on the site mentioned to even see if it’s compatible.
That is the antenna that comes with the DVB dongle and it works fine. My antenna is inside and gets the range I say in the video. Outside would be better and obviously you can invest in a bigger antenna for more reach.
Gary Explains cool. Thanks! Unfortunately, my hauppauge dongle apparently classically doesn’t work according to their forums. Not a big price though for a dedicated stick. Thanks again!
I have one question. What if I want to use the flight tracker just to track one specific flight from take-off to landing with all the performance, like take-off time, leveling off, speed, time, landing time, and having take-off and landing reported to a computer like a msg or an email, I mean something similar?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.
"You're probably not going to stick a radar dish on top of your house." .... Challenge accepted?
How do you connect it with either a mouse and keyboard or web browser?

*Good Morning Professor!*
*Good Morning Fellow Classmates!*
MARK!!!
Lol why you always present in here, man?
You didn't talk much about the antenna....
What a nostalgic, i used this 4 years ago for one of my college project
Noe this comment is 4 yesrs ago
Very cool and thanks you but I am only interested with tracking offline as I have terrible internet. Please show how that would work. Thanks.

Its good efforts avn industry
whats the range of the usb recievers?
Do you must do it on a raspberry pi can't it be done on a zero? Thanks for the video
A Zero is a Raspberry Pi, so yes it works on a Zero, but you need a Zero W and configure Wi-Fi or a USB-Ethernet adapter,
@@GaryExplains ok thanks Gary someone is ready for a business account ✅
@@GaryExplains is there a method to do it with an arduino ?
@@little_astro581 No, you need something more advanced than a microcontroller.

Very interesting video by the way :)
what is data collected useful for?
Would an UDOO RYZEN Bolt V1000 Maker SBC work for this as well provided you can get the x86 version of the software.
awesome video! loved this. i'll try this ...
Nice Roger / Roger . Gary what if your setup goes down do you have to pay then ?
If you setup goes down then you get an email after 6 hours telling you and then your account get reverted to the free one. When your setup is back up you instantly get the business account again.
@@GaryExplains Ok great ! can you use a pc instead of a pi ? and thanks Gary for getting back to me and thanks for your hard work on these videos .
I went to their web sight. It looks like you can see all the planes and data without a subscription. So other than a cool project, what's the benefit?
There are lots more features when you have a subscription, see www.flightradar24.com/premium/

So if i set this up can i see planes that don’t show up on flight radar 24
No.
@@GaryExplains they do admit to filtering out some private planes so in theory yes but practically no haha
In the video Gary shows a screen where he can see the aircraft that he is actually tracking live. How do you do that?
I never thought the Pi 3B+ was good enough to run a SDR Dongle, guess i was only thinking SDR Radio Software and Not Flight Tracking Software
Currently FlightAware supports RP2 and RP Zero W as well.
doing it now!!!!!
im getting a very small range. can someone help?
Place it on as high as possible
Remember when hight come stability go down so use some good rope
Is this legal in the Netherlands
We have a number of sites in the Netherlands. Check the Flightaware ADSB coverage map and zoom in.

Thanks Gary, signed up for a receiver, fingers crossed.
What is rasberry pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.
It is a single-board-computer. A small size mini device that can run computer programs.
