First off, thanks for writing the software! It works well with my RTL-SDR. If the project is still being maintained I can create a pull request to update the readme with some suggestions. They would be:

  1. Add pip install zmq and pmt
  2. To prevent accidentally messing up the user's root python environment have optional instructions to use pipenv.

You're very welcome. I'm happy to hear it's working and being used :smile:

While I haven't directly developed on this project in a couple years, I still track/maintain it. Also, I have plans to update the code (both demodulator and ADS-B decoder) when I upgrade this project to GNU Radio 3.8. I would absolutely welcome a pull request. Thanks for using the software.

potto216 commented 5 years ago

Great! Will do, yeah moving over to 3.8 will be interesting with the Python 3 and YAML changes.

If you open a new issue for updating the demodulator I would like to help. From what I've read ADS-B is basically transmitting a form of on off keying (which I found shocking) that explains why you are doing incoherent demod. Can you improve the performance with coherent demod? I did a quick Google Scholar search and found a few articles, but I'm not sure what the constraints are.

I like the demod conversation. I'm going to move that conversation to #21 and close this issue since you already submitted PR #20.
