Reaching for the Sky with the Jamstack with Charlie Gerard
Experts in web technologies and radio signals can learn how to decode Mode S signals and receive data from airplanes using software-defined radio (SDR) and Jamstack technologies, as discussed by Charlie Gerard in this presentation.
- Charlie Gerard, a Google developer expert in web technologies, discussed the concept of “Reaching for the Sky with the Jamstack” at a conference talk.
- The talk focused on using software-defined radio (SDR) and jamstack technologies to receive data from passing airplanes using an RTL-SDR device.
- SDR is a technology that allows for the creation and reception of radio signals.
- Charlie discussed the importance of understanding the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system, particularly Mode S signals.
- He explained how to decode Mode S signals using JavaScript, and how to use the RTL-SDR device to receive and decode signals.
- Charlie also touched on security concerns, such as spoofing and jamming attacks, and the need for secure communication protocols.
- The talk also covered the concept of radio waves, electromagnetic fields, and how they are used to transmit and receive data.
- Charlie used his own experiences and stories to explain complex technical concepts, making the talk more engaging and accessible.
- The talk concluded with a demonstration of how to decode Mode S signals and receive data from airplanes using the RTL-SDR device.
