flight-tracker
Keep track of aircraft using ADSB messages.
Usage
As an application
Connect to a receiver which emits frames in AVR format:

The received ADSB messages will be used to update a table of current aircraft positions:

As a library
If you want to integrate the tracker into your application, create a new instance:
let tracker = new;
Continuously feed it with ADSB messages from a receiver:
loop
Get the list of current aircraft:
let interval = from_secs;
let aicraft_list = tracker.get_current_aircraft;
