ADS-B was a live table and nothing else: an aircraft was overhead for four minutes and then gone, with nothing kept. Now everything heard goes into adsb_<time>.jsonl as it arrives -- one object per frame, the raw hex beside what was read out of it, flushed per line because a listening session ends with control-C -- with a readable report beside it. flights.py asks who the aircraft are: adsbdb for the airframe and the route, hexdb behind it, cached for a month. What needs no website is answered without one, because the ICAO address block says which country registered the aircraft and the first three letters of an airline callsign are its designator. Nothing but the address and the callsign heard on the air is ever sent. bandsaunter flights [LOG...] --out sky.gif reads a log back and draws the evening as a map with the clock running. Every frame is a moment: each aircraft is where it actually was then, interpolated between the position reports either side of it and dead-reckoned from its last speed and heading between them, and dropped rather than guessed at once it has not been heard for --stale seconds. The GIF is written here -- palette, LZW, frame differencing against a transparent index -- so nothing but numpy is needed; ffmpeg writes an MP4 where it happens to be installed, and .png draws the whole evening at once. The decoder needed 6.3 s to read a second of sky, so a live capture was losing six frames in seven. Reading the bits off a running total instead of summing each window takes that to 0.6 s, with identical output. --simulate flies six aircraft that are not there past a receiver that is not there, through the real encoder, the real checksum and the real decoder, so all of this can be tried without an aerial.

"""The formats that say what they are: ADS-B, utility meters, weather sensors.
|
|
|
|
What these three have in common is that none of them needs to be believed.
|
|
Every ADS-B frame carries a 24-bit checksum, every meter message a 16-bit BCH,
|
|
every AcuRite message a checksum and four parity bits -- so the only question
|
|
a test can usefully ask is whether the fields come back holding what was put
|
|
in, and whether anything that is not one of these is ever mistaken for one.
|
|
|
|
Each generator is written from the published format rather than from the
|
|
decoder beside it, so a round trip is evidence about the format.
