Overview
An RTL2832/R820T2 USB Dongle is plugged into the dump1090 host machine
The host is running the dump1090-mutability service to decode the data from the dongle
One of the outputs is a decoded stream of messages in "Basestation" format, that is exposed on a TCP port on the Pi
This stream is read by the MessageReader, that exposes an event used to notify subscribers when a new message arrives
The AircraftTracker subscribes to these events and passes each new message to the message parsers to have the information it contains extracted into an aircraft tracking object
The AircraftTracker enqueues each new tracking object for asynchronous writing to the SQLite database
It also exposes events to notify subscribers when aircraft are added, updated and removed
The ContinuousWriter processes pending requests from the queue, in strictly serial order
External API integrations are supported for automatic/manual lookup of:
