Another bug fixed in the SBS-1 utilities
There's a new build available for Linux, it fixes wrong byte order in the internal timer output in both HEX and decoded mode.
To download please go to SBS1 Utilities
Two more bugs fixed in the SBS1 Utilities
I have prepared a new build of the SBS1 Utilities for Linux. It should fix the longitude decoding issue for the Western Hemisphere as well as a minor issue in clearing the AC table which was not revealed before.
Update 1: Colin has reported a bug in the BS30003 compatible feed, the line endings were not sent correctly. This has been fixed and the latest build is available for download.
New version of SBS1 Utilities finally available!
It's been more than a year since I promised the next release of SBS1 utilities. I know most of you are disappointed, but I hope some will still be happy to eventually get it. There are a lot of improvements especially with stability of the application and better thread management, but also a few new features which I will describe in the project description.
The code was almost entirely rewritten so it obviously still requires testing. More information in SBS1 Utilities.
Old utilities no longer supported, new coming on Friday
I have recently received a few email with questions about the sbs-utilities. I would like to announce that old utilities are no longer supported so please do not send questions about them.
I am currently working on a short document with parameter description and usage information for the new utilities. Once this ready, I will publish the new tools. This is planned for Friday ( 22.01.2010 ).
Update 1:
I need a few more days, sorry.. I've been busy with other stuff.
Update 2:
I have fixed two more bugs, testing it right now.. If nothing goes wrong I will publish the Linux build tomorrow ( 2010-02-03 ) and the documentation will be added later.
SBS1RT patch updated to .143, ANRB patch
It's been a while since I last posted an update here, but don't worry, I am still alive. I've been rather busy during the last year with my thesis as well as a couple of different things so I haven't had much time to accomplish what I had promised a long time ago. But the updates are coming really soon. Most part of the code was rewritten from scratch to make it more stable and robust. One of the new features is the ability to connect to multiple receivers and merge their data into one stream which can later be used by BaseStation or the application itself.
Meanwhile, you can download the SBS1 Real Time patch updated to the latest BS version .143 as well as the new AirNav RadarBox. You will find both in the projects menu.
New version of SBS-1 utils coming soon
It's been a while since I released the first beta version of the utils so it's time for some update. This update will mainly focus on sbs1tcp and it will finally bring TCP30003 compatibility mode. Also the current custom data feed will be more stable and reliable. I am planning to release the new version on Monday 13th of October 2008. If you have noticed any strange behavior of the currently released tools please report it here so that I can try to fix it.
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.
