connecting to ADSB exchange

[IanH]

This is a response to a question by member shakysen in the forum who was trying to connect an SBS-1er to ADS-B Exchange. The simple (!!) how-to is provided here:
https://www.adsbexchange.com/how-to-feed/

Attempts to connect via VRS when you don't know that program are not entirely obvious.

Then I remembered a previous post of mine.
http://radarspotting.com/forum/index.php/topic,2978.msg26581.html#msg26581

That was concerned with how to connect a RPi but the same principle applies. The instructions say you need to send:

Code Select Expand

Beast, Basestation, avr, or avrmlat to "feed.adsbexchange.com" port 30005

Modesmixer2 can convert data between different formats. In this case we want to input SBS-1 data from Basestation port 30006 and send it to adsbexchange on port 30005. The author of modemixer2 (sergsero) reckons Beast format is best for transfer so we'll send that format to port 30005.

You need the SBS-1 running Basestation software.

Probably easiest if you create the following batch file in the same folder that modesmixer2,exe  is located (use a text editor such as Notepad to create a file such as adsbexchange.bat). The IP address "192.168.0.5" in the example needs to be changed to your PC's IP address.

Code Select Expand

@echo off
cmd/c modesmixer2 --inConnect 192.168.0.5:30006 --outConnect beast:feed.adsbexchange.com:30005
pause
exit

That inputs data from port 30006 on Basestation, converts it to Beast format and sends it to adsbexchange on port 30005. No feedback that its working from adsbexchange - only if there is a problem do you get error messages.

To run it double click on the batch file and it should open a command window and run. Don't close the window, just minimise it. To stop the batch file, either close the command window or open it and press Control-C.

Note: I thought it was possible to get the data directly from the SBS-1 on port 10001 (avoiding the need for Basestation) but that doesn't work.

The SBS-3 can be used without BaseStation to feed data to a third party application.

Hello,

I think that for modesmixer2 has no difference what format of incoming data to convert to the beast format.
I just checked the possibility of transcoding data directly from port 10001 of SBS-1eR and send beast stream on port 30005 feed.adsbexchange.com. The data recipient receives.

These aircraft can be identified by zero value of the signal level, if this option to set in VRS for labels of aircraft. After some time, this zero will no longer be output to the screen by adsbexchange.

Hello,

I have a SBS1er receiver connected to my computer via USB.

I would like to become an ADSB Exchange feeder.

Could someone help me??

I was reading somewhere and I saw that it was necessary to first send the data from my Sbs1er to Virtual Radar Server, and from there send it to ADSB Exchange.

I have managed to dump my data in VRS but I can't manage to send the data from VRS to ADSB Exchange.

Could someone give me some guidance? I don't know how to do it

Thanks

Not sure if you can feed ADSBExchange from VRS:

I'm from ADSBx. The answer is: No. VRS bungles the data considerably, it's kinda garbage. For what it is, it serves it's purpose.

But it looks like you can use ModeSMixer2, as described earlier in this thread.  I guess you can use IP address of 127.0.0.1 (local) for the inConnect.  But I've not tested this.
