An ADS-B decoder module for SDR++ built with DeepSeek and Claude
A user had DeepSeek write an ADS-B aircraft tracking module for SDR++ and Claude improve it, later raising decoding from about 6 to 70 messages a second.

The full story
The maker asked DeepSeek to code an ADS-B aircraft tracking module for SDR++, with Claude's free tier improving things, giving SDR++ a built-in ADS-B tracker alongside its waterfall. At first it was at a very early stage with a lot missing.
In an update, Claude added an aircraft table and greatly improved decoding: with the same Wi-Fi antenna on an RTL-SDR V4, the rate went from 2 to 6 messages a second to a peak of 70. DeepSeek added a feature that moves the view to a detected aircraft. The maker planned to release the plugin and add more decoders, such as AIS for ships.
