Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] real time airplane data

[John Malsbury]

Hi Bill,

I hope you're doing well since your visit to the office.  I've recently done some development on similar lines to demonstrate a multi-function transceiver (COM/NAV,  ILS, GPS, ADS-B, etc.).  I originally had the idea to integrate such a device, probably based on an embedded-series USRP, in a Cozy MK IV I am building.  However, the Cozy is on hold since I don't have any space to build here in Silicon Valley.  So, I've been falling back to some experiments in tin cans with Balint Seeber..  http://wiki.spench.net/wiki/Spectrum_Recording

I was actually thinking about submitting a proposal to Air Venture myself.  I'd be interested in collaborating with you.

Of course, Nick Foster is also a guru of ADS-B reception.

I am a former Navy Test pilot, ham, and experimental airplane enthusiast. We found GNUradio last year as part of a course I teach on airborne software and Avionics.  We have access to packet streams, RS-232 and ARINC-429 in two experimental airplanes.  The data includes all the parameters sent to Electronic Flight Info Systems (EFIS) displays.
 
Examples are:
 flight instruments display for air data and attitude/heading,
GPS moving map with terrain, obstructions, weather, and traffic and
engine and system monitoring.

I believe we could port these real time streams into GNUradio companion. Many ideas are exiting when you consider linking dynamic airplane data to GNUradio. Certainly all aviaonics functions could be reproduced.  It might make a very interesting forum at EAA Airventure at Oshkosh in July.
Thanks
