This capability provider captures real-time messages from a telnet server that exposes AVR messages. These AVR messages are then parsed into a meaningful data structure and delivered via actor binding to a processor actor.
The following must be in place in order to successfully run this provider in a waSCC host:
- TCP connectivity to the telnet server exposed by the dump1090 application.
- A machine connected to an RTL-SDR dongle and antenna combination with the appropriate device drivers. Consult the RTL SDR website for advice on purchasing devices, antennas, physical configuration, and device drivers and software installation for your equipment.
Simply run dump1090 --net or dump1090 --interactive --net to start the telnet server required by this capability provider.
When binding an actor to this capability provider, supply the following values to allow the capability
provider to connect to a dump1090 telnet server:
PORT- port number of thedump1090process (default30002)HOST- the host IP on which thedump1090process is runningSTATION_ID- the unique station ID that corresponds to the dump 1090 processSTATION_NAME- human-readable name of the station to which this binding is connectingTIMEOUT- socket timeout period in milliseconds (default30000, 30 seconds)
