Building an ADS-B Receiver For Less Than You Think
A person built a device to receive ADS-B signals from airplanes for under $50 using affordable parts. The device uses a microcontroller and a radio to capture and display flight data. It can track planes up to 150 nautical miles away with some adjustments.
A person created a low-cost ADS-B receiver using a microcontroller and a radio to track airplanes and display their locations online. The device can pick up signals from a significant distance with some modifications.
