The yulbbs about screen. It reads:
YULBBS is powered by ADS-BBS
(a pun on the ADS-B system that provides data)
Both were created by Sean Coates: https://seancoates.com
ssh (or telnet): yulbbs.via.sc
It uses Swift, NIO, swift-nio-ssh, and dump1080 on the backend.
The antenna is near CYUL, in Dorval, Quebec, a borough of Montreal.
The whole thing runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 in my office networking closet.
Aircraft data comes from the air, not from the net. Be nice.
(Yes, I know that it's not a BBS. BBSs have messaging. That's the point.
This *does* try to capture the BBS Γ¦sthetic, though. It's just for fun.)
A screen shot of the βANSIβ/BBS style UI. The main βlistβ view of air traffic near YUL. It contains a list of featured aircraft, a chart of arrivals/departures, recent activity, and some stats.
The map view, which uses Unicode Braille characters. One plane is departing, another is arriving, and a third is not currently heuristically engaged with the airport but itβs nearby.
Okay, I think this thing is ready-enough to tell people about it.
I made a #BBS to watch aircraft near #YUL (#Montreal airport), through my home #ADSB antenna setup. It's a #Swift NIO based app that runs on a #RaspberryPi (3) in my office network closet, so please [β¦]
