RTLSDR Airband is intended for Airband reception and online streaming to services such as liveatc.net
Very Important:
This origin is not actively maintained. is recommended (and required for Raspberry Pi 2)
- Decode up to eight AM channels per dongle (within bandwidth frequency range)
- Decode multiple dongles simutaneously
- Auto squelch and Automatic Gain Control
- MP3 encoding
- Stream to Icecast or SHOUTcast server
- ~4% per dongle on i5-2430m at 2.1 GHz
- FFT using Broadcom Videocore IV GPU
- No overclock required when using 1 dongle plus another dongle running dump1090
- Turbo overclock setting recommended when using 2 dongles
- Requires CPU with SSE3 support.
- Requires Visual C++ 2013 vcredist_x86.exe
- Download (build 2014-08-11)
- Download fftw-3.3.4-dll32.zip from http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html
- Start the VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt
- Run lib /def:libfftw3f-3.def to get libfftw3f-3.lib
- Place the lib into win32/lib
- Place fftw3.h into win32/include
- Place libfftw3f-3.dll into the root folder
- Download libogg-1.3.1.zip and libvorbis-1.3.4.zip from http://www.xiph.org/downloads/
- Extract both zip files in the same folder
- Rename libogg-1.x.x to libogg
- Open libogg/win32/libogg_static.sln
- Change to "Release" and build libogg_static
- Open libvorbis-1.x.x/win32/VS2010/vorbis_static.sln
- Change to "Release" and build libvorbis_static (NOT the highlighted libvorbisfile)
- Copy both the generated .libs to win32/lib
- Copy libogg/includes/ogg (the folder) to win32/include
- Copy libvorbis-1.x.x/includes/vorbis (the folder) to win32/include
- Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/lame/files/lame/3.99/
- Open vc_solution/vc9_lame.sln
- Change the Configuration to ReleaseSSE2
- (optional) Right click libmp3lame-static and open Properties... C/C++... Code Generation... Enable Enhanced Instruction Set... Advanced Vector Instructions
- Build libmp3lame-static
- Copy output/ReleaseSSE2/libmp3lame-static.lib and libmpghip-static.lib to win32/lib
- Copy include/lame.h to win32/include
- Download from http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr (search word: "pre-built")
- Copy rtl-sdr-release/rtl-sdr.h and rtl-sdr_export.h to win32/includes
- Copy rtl-sdr-release/x32/rtlsdr.lib to win32/lib
- Copy rtl-sdr-release/x32/rtlsdr.dll and libusb-1.0.dll to root folder
- Download from ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/
- Extract Pre-built.2 to the same folder where libogg and libvorbis are located
- Copy Pre-built.2/lib/x86/pthreadVCE2.lib to win32/lib
- Copy Pre-built.2/dll/x86/pthreadVCE2.dll to root folder
- This is the most complicated one
- Download from http://www.icecast.org/download.php
- Extract libshout to the same folder where libogg and libvorbis are located
- Go to libshout-2.x.x/include/shout and rename shout.h.in to shout.h
- Open libshout/win32/libshout.dsw
- Change to "Release"... and then open project properties
- On the General page change Character Set to Use Unicode Character Set
- Go to C/C++... edit Additional Include Directories
- Add ../../libogg/include, ../../libvorbis-1.x.x/include and ../../Pre-built.2/include
- Go to C/C++... Preprocessor... edit Preprocessor Definitions
- Add HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H and HAVE_FTIME
- Try to build, you should get errors
- One of the error is "error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'compat.h': No such file or directory"
- Double click on it and change that line from #include <compat.h> to #include <os.h>
- Build again
- Copy win32/Release/libshout.lib to win32/lib
- Copy include/shout (the folder) to win32/include
- Browse into win32 and open the solution
- Simply build solution or click the "Start Local Windows Debugger" button
- I assume you already have RTLSDR library installed: http://www.hamradioscience.com/raspberry-pi-as-remote-server-for-rtl2832u-sdr/
- sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev libvorbis-dev libshout-dev libfftw3-dev
- sudo rpi-update && sudo reboot
- cd into the project folder (where makefile is located)
- cp -r /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_fft .
- sudo mknod char_dev c 100 0
- make
- You need to run the program with sudo
All configurations are saved in config.txt file. Fields should be separated by space(s) or tab(s).
You may edit config.txt.example using a spreadsheet program.
