Download problems
The download problems are caused by moving the site to another server. DNS records needs to be updated and some of them had higher TTL values than I thought. All the records should be updated correctly within 24 hours.
SBS1 Utils beta version available
It's been a long time since I promised to release it and some of you might just given up waiting, but I guess there are still at least a few people interested in this project. It's still beta version and there surely are some bugs left, but feel free to play with it and send reports in case you spot some strange behaviour. More information about the project is available in the Projects-SBS1 Utils section.
A request: I've been receiving quite a lot of emails regarding SBS-1 related stuff.. It might happend I haven't replied to all of you. In that case please send your email again and I will do my best to reply asap.
A note on the delay and beta version availability
As you might have noticed the release got somehow delayed. I have come across some unexpected frames I thought the box itself would take care of. This is partly malformed messages and as a result of that fake planes detected by the system. Right now I am waiting for some more ICAO documents which will clear things up for me and hopefully with them I will be able to fix it.
Yet another update on SBS1 for Linux/Mac
This is the last progress update before beta version release in July. I'm finally done with data decoding, but I am not done with my exams yet :/ This week is going to be tough, then my friend's wedding and on Monday 30th June I should finally be free to code again :) What's left to be done is TCP 30003 compatible output and some stability tests.
Update on SBS1 for NSLU2 Linux
Today I've successfully built and run a testing version of SBS-1 software for NSLU2 Linux (SlugOS LE). It's been working non stop for more than 4 hours now and the CPU usage is below 2.5% (266MHz ARM CPU). This leaves plenty of room for other tasks as web data visualisation and/or data sharing!
Update on SBS1 for Mac and Linux
It's been quite a few weeks since the last post so it's time for updates. During the past few weeks I haven't had much time for SBS1 as I've been working on my university projects + some tasks I had been postponing since I don't know when :/ I am still working on decoding the RAW data, aircrafts' positions in particular. AC positions are encoded using CPR ( Compact Position Reporting ) which was not mentioned in the ICAO Annex 10. Luckily doing some Googling I was able to find the necessary docs ( 174+ pages ) and now I will be able to decode it finally :)
Real time patch for BaseStation .130
In the meantime, while you're waiting for the standalone application to get data from sbs1 box, I've prepared a patch for the latest version of BaseStation .130. You will find the download link in the Projects > SBS1 Real Time section.
Merging my web pages
I've finally decided to merge both my home pages into this blog. This will take a while, but when I'm done I'll at least be able to keep the site up to date. Using my own code for web sites was fun, but maintaining it was a waste of time :/ From now on I will no longer publish content in Polish. Again, I just want to stop wasting my time translating stuff one way or another.
