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#msg26581That was concerned with how to connect a RPi but the same principle applies. The instructions say you need to send:
Beast, Basestation, avr, or avrmlat to “feed.adsbexchange.com” port 30005Modesmixer2 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.
@echo off
cmd/c modesmixer2 --inConnect 192.168.0.5:30006 --outConnect beast:feed.adsbexchange.com:30005
pause
exitThat 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.
