jet1090

jet1090 is an improved version of dump1090 in Rust designed to decode in parallel several sources of Mode S and ADS-B data (Beast feed in TCP/UDP, RTL-SDR) and serve the info in REST endpoints or websockets.

Installation

Run the following Cargo command:

cargo install jet1090

You may also install already compiled versions from the GitHub Releases page.

Support for RTL-SDR dongles

Compile with the feature rtlsdr:

cargo install jet1090 --feature rtlsdr

• Recommended procedure with MacOS:

  brew install soapysdr
  brew install soapyrtlsdr
  

  Use the following commands if you want to keep your Mac awake while recording:

  caffeinate
  sudo pmset -b disablesleep 1
  

• Recommended procedure with Linux:

  apt install libsoapysdr-dev  # useful for building
  apt install soapysdr-module-rtlsdr  # useful for running
  

• Recommended procedure with Windows:

  The pre-built Windows Pothos SDR development environment ships the necessary DLLs necessary to decode from the RTL-SDR. Follow the instructions for "Download and Install" and use Zadig to recognise your USB dongle.
