SKY_WATCH
A fun little side project.
This has been vibe-coded.
SKY_WATCH
SKY_WATCH is a plane tracker front-end for my ADS-B antenna located at a local airport. You can view live air traffic at adsb.assie.tech.
While SKY_WATCH is primarily a front-end for visualizing aircraft data, it also collects analytical data from aircraft transponders and various APIs. This data is used to build out a comprehensive dataset for further analysis and insights.
Project Creation
To create a project like SKY_WATCH, follow these general steps:
- Set up your ADS-B antenna at your desired location and ensure it is receiving aircraft signals.
- Collect ADS-B data using a receiver and software such as dump1090 or similar.
- Develop a front-end to visualize the aircraft data. This can be done using web technologies (e.g., JavaScript, Vue, Nuxt, or React) and mapping libraries (e.g., Leaflet, Mapbox, or Google Maps).
- Connect your front-end to the data source, either via a REST API, WebSocket, or direct data feed.
- Optionally, collect and aggregate analytical data from transponders and external APIs to build a dataset for further analysis.
- Deploy your application to a web server or cloud platform. For example, adsb.assie.tech is the live deployment for this project.
