The context is that I was planning a Flight Data Recorder (GPS, Gyro, and G-meter) for recording an Aerobatic flight, and find that there are several initiatives that use very similar components to build an ADS-B device.
My thoughts are that the Data logging and the ADS-B projects could be combined to create a "black box" recorder that could used for 3 target markets:
- ADS-B out as per the original project.
- Data Logging for Aerobatic flight analysis as well as Schools and shared planes.
- "Black Box" information in the event of an accident or crash.
The projects of interest are:
- FlightAware ADS-B ground station

Note that the Arduino has proven to be a disappointment due to it's limited performance and lack of sophistication. I include this link for reference purposes going forward.
