dumpils and srvils

dumpils demodulates ILS signal and dumps the measurements to stdout in CSV format.

srvils connects to two RTL-SDRs and serves a web application which displays a CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) aircraft instrument as well as other measurements on the radio signals.

Requires rtl_tcp to be running and listening on a TCP port (two instances for both LOC and GP).

Install RTL-SDR driver

See https://osmocom.org/projects/rtl-sdr/wiki

On Windows, run zadig to disable the built in driver for RTL-SDR: https://zadig.akeo.ie/

Running dumpils

dumpils reads measurements from a rtl_tcp server. Start rtl_tcp.exe first.

The ILS channel is by default 110.1 MHz.

Run with go run cmd/dumpils/main.go

Running srvils

srvils takes two arguments, -gp and -loc, for specifying the sample-sources.

Usage of srvils:
  -gp string
        address and port of rtl_tcp or filename for GP data
  -loc string
        address and port of rtl_tcp or filename for LOC data
