Feature Request: OpenSky Network Feeding

[ketilmo]

Hi,

Thanks for creating a great FLARM/FANET+ solution. For the ground station, would it be possible to implement an option for feeding data to OpenSky Network?

The following page has some more information about the technical details: https://opensky-network.org/forum/feature-updates/363-new-feeding-flarm-data-to-opensky

OpenSky Network is a EU-funded project that stores ADS-B and FLARM data for research purposed. The data can be accessed through and API. In addition, OpenSky Network features a live map of all current flights.

Kind regards, Ketil

Hi, I can integrate that, but I need the Information, on how to feed the data to the opensky-Server Servername/IP Port How to send data and which data to send.

Can you check, where I get this Information please.

Hi @gereic,

That's great news, thanks! I'll get in touch with the OpenSky Network team and get back to you.

Hi @gereic,

I have just heard back from the OpenSky Network team. This is what they write:

If they are using ogn-decode within their software it will be straight away, as they will only need to add this line to the configuration file Demodulator: { MergeServer = "flarm-collector.opensky-network.org:20002"; } ;

Else, it will require some more time as our server accepts UDP messages in a very specific format as it is provided by ogn-decode. As this is closed-source we don’t have the code either but just what the C Classes used to prepare the UDP packets look like. It will take some time to extrapolate the information and also possibly to adapt the GxAirCom.

How does this sound?
