The ADSBee project is on a mission to make open source ADS-B receivers for every embedded application.

ADSBee 1090 receivers decode 1090MHz aircraft transponder transmissions, including ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) and Mode S.

Dual band variants of the ADSBee 1090 include a sub-GHz radio that can decode 978MHz UAT transmissions, with more protocols to come!

ADSBee 1090U

Dual-band 1090MHz and UAT receiver with USB, UART, and WiFi connectivity options.

ADSBee m1090

Single-band solder-down receiver module for OEM applications.

Dual band RX / WiFi / Ethernet functionality available with additional components.

Open Source Hardware + Software

All ADSBee 1090 source code files and schematics are available under a GNU GPL v3 license. This means that they can be freely incorporated into other open-source projects that utilize a compatible license. The hope is that by opening the design to contributions and feedback from a community of users, the functionality of the ADSBee 1090 will be enhanced over time. Note that the GPL v3 license applies to re-use of design and source code files, and not finished devices. ADSBee 1090 units purchased from Pants for Birds may be used in commercial applications without any licensing restrictions.
