#map1090
###BUILDING
Tested and working on Ubuntu 18.04, Raspbian Stretch, Buster
- Install SDL and RTL-SDR libararies
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev librtlsdr-dev
Note: On Raspbian the SDL2 package requires X to be running. See the Raspberry Pi section for notes on running from the terminal and other improvements.
- Download and build spidr
cd ~
git clone https://www.github.com/nmatsuda/spidr
cd spidr
make clean; make
- Download and process map data Until more comprehensive map source (e.g., Mapbox) is integrated, map1090 uses the lat/lon SVG files from https://www.mccurley.org
The getmap.sh pulls the svg file for the contiguous 48 US states and produces a binary file for map1090 to read.
./getmap.sh
###RUNNING
- Start dump1090 (http://www.github.com/MalcolmRobb/dump1090) locally in network mode:
dump1090 --net
- Run map1090
./view1090 --fullsceen
map1090 will open an SDL window set to the resolution of your screen.
###RUNTIME OPTIONS
--server [domain name or ip] Specify a dump1090 server. Renamed from the view1090 "--net-bo-ip-addr" argument --port [port number] Specify dump1090 server port. Renamed from the view1090 "--net-bo-port" argument --metric Display metric units rather than imperial.
--screensize [width] [height] Specify a specific resolution to pass to SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize, otherwise use resolution of display --uiscale [scale] Scale up UI elements by integer amounts for high resolution screen --fullscreen Render fullscreen rather than in a window
###HARDWARE NOTES
map1090 is designed to be portable and work on a variety of systems, however it is intended to be used on a handheld device.
The software was originally develped for Raspberry Pi devices, and it is currently optimized for the Raspberry Pi 4 with the following configuration:
- Raspberry Pi 4
- A display:
- [Pimoroni HyperPixel 4.0 Display] (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/hyperpixel-4) *best overall, but requires some rework to use battery monitoring features of the PiJuice mentioned below
- [Waveshare 5.5" AMOLED] (https://www.waveshare.com/5.5inch-hdmi-amoled.htm) *this is very good screen but the Google Pixel 2 phone mentioned below has a very similar display for the same price (along with everything else you need in a nice package)
- [Waveshare 4.3" HDMI(B)] (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4.3inch_HDMI_LCD_(B))
- [Adafruit 2.8" Capacitive Touch] (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2423)
- A battery hat, such as:
- [PiJuice Battery Hat] (https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/pijuice-standard) *I2C pins must be reworked to connect to the Hyperpixel nonstandard I2C breakout pins, unfortunately
- [MakerFocus UPS Hat] (https://www.amazon.com/Makerfocus-Raspberry-2500mAh-Lithium-Battery/dp/B01MQYX4UX)
- Any USB SDR receiver:
- [Noelec Nano V3] (https://www.nooelec.com/store/nesdr-nano-three.html)
- Stratux V2 *very low power but hard to find
If running as a front end only, with a separate dump1090 server, the best option is to use an Android phone, such as the Pixel 2, which significantly outperforms a Raspberry Pi 4.
map1090 has been tested on other boards such as the UP Core and UP Squared, but these boards have significantly poorer performance than the Raspberry Pi 4 with less software and peripheral support, so they are not recommended. With low resolution maps the software will run on these boards or even a Raspberry Pi Zero, so these remain options with some tradeoffs.
Of course, a variety of other devices work well for this purpose - all of the development so far has been done on a touchscreen Dell XPS laptop.
