From the project

ADSBee traffic pusher to awoslog.com

ADSBee 1090 is an open-source multi band radio receiver and decoder for ADS-B packets transmitted by aircraft and ground stations. ADSBee 1090 is based on an RP2040 microcontroller, and utilizes two independent PIO blocks to find and decode ADS-B messages without the need for an FPGA. ADSBee 1090 includes a radio receiver frontend with filtering and amplification, as well as a software defined comparator circuit with an adjustable trigger threshold for customizable receive sensitivity in a diverse range of RF environments.
