Aircraft radar system in JavaScript

This project uses the Web USB API, a RTL-SDR dongle + antenna and some vanilla JS code.

How to run

As it doesn't use any front-end framework, you can start it quickly by running:

python -m http.server 8000

and opening your browser on http://localhost:8000

This project probably wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't come across AirplaneJS and rtl-sdr by Thomas Watson and rtlsdrjs by Sandeep Mistry. 💜
