## About

![Application Schematic](Diagrams/application-schematic.png)

- An RTL2832/R820T2 USB Dongle is plugged into the Raspberry Pi

- The Raspberry Pi is running the [dump1090-mutability](https://github.com/adsb-related-code/dump1090-mutability) service to decode the data from the dongle

- One of the outputs is a decoded stream of messages in "[Basestation](http://woodair.net/sbs/article/barebones42_socket_data.htm)" format, that is exposed on a TCP port on the Pi

- This stream is read by the MessageReader, that exposes an event used to notify subscribers when a new message arrives

- The AircraftTracker subscribes to these events and passes each new message to the message parsers to have the information it contains extracted into an aircraft tracking object

- The AircraftTracker enqueues each new tracking object for asynchronous writing to the SQLite database

- It also exposes events to notify subscribers when aircraft are added, updated and removed

- On a timed interval, the QueuedWriter processes pending writes from the the queue
