The Radarcape connects to your PC via network, as such it is ideal also for remote locations.
Example features
● Raw data streams in various qualities and with different filtering
● Web interface data access and maintenance
● The networking can support all kind of protocols. Currently there is only TCP and HTTP
support, but based on the Linux systems others are no problem. For example, we have
already set up a network based on SSH tunneling which solves some firewall issues.
● There are no longer any DIP switches, instead the configuration can be changed just using a
web browser.
Multilateration
For enhanced multilateration, the Radarcape is equipped with a GPS synchronized clock with an
accuracy in the nanosecond level. This is completely processed in the FPGA without any influence
through the Linux system.
Network Feeding
There are sharing networks for aircraft data. Flightradar24 is using a branded version of the Radarcape
as their device that feeds data into their servers. The Radarcape as delivered from us also contains a
way how to share data with Flightradar24, either anonymously or with a sharing key provided by them.
Easy Usage
With its small size and the low power consumption the Radarcape is ideal for running all time without a
PC behind and collecting data. The application SW on the Radarcape will output collected data in
several ways, like
● raw data formats for second level software on PCs
● HTML tables for personal viewing or computer post processing
● KML files for mapping software, such as Google Earth
Proprietary Software running on the Radarcape
The Radarcape will be open for your private enhancements and SW installations on the Linux part. We will
provide all information required for such tasks and even ways how to write software under Linux, like
interface descriptions, and even some installation guides for compilers and tools.
Specification
The Radarcape consists of:
● Beaglebone board
