▲ 16 r/RTLSDR
RTL-SDR ADS-B to custom visualization to 24/7 YouTube live stream. Here's what I built.
Started with a simple RTL-SDR dongle and a 1090 MHz antenna, ended up with a 24/7 live YouTube stream of Budapest airspace. Tech stack: - RTL-SDR → dump1090 → tar1090 as data source - Custom HTML5 Canvas visualization with no external map tiles - ffmpeg + Xvfb + Chromium for headless streaming - Groq AI API for real-time flight commentary - YouTube Data API v3 for dynamic stream title updates - Live chat interaction: viewers can highlight aircraft by typing callsigns
