- Takes data about every ~30 seconds from OpenSky Network or ADS-B Exchange and compares it to previous data with what I've defined as a landing or takeoff event.
- A takeoff event is the plane is not on the ground, below 10k feet and ((previously no data and now getting data) or was previously on the ground).
- A landing event is previously below 10k feet and (previously getting data, no longer getting data and previously not on the ground) or (now on the ground and previously not on the ground).
- Given the coordinates of the aircraft the coordinates are reverse looked up for a location name. (GeoPY Nomination Geolocator)
- At the time of takeoff a takeoff time is set, which is referenced in the landing event to calculate approximate total flight time.
- A Static map image is created based off location name. (Google Static Maps API) or a screenshot of <https://global.adsbexchange.com/> is created using Selenium/ChromeDriver The selected plane is locked on in the screenshot.
- If the landing event and takeoff events are true, It will output to any of the following built-in output methods. (Twitter, Pushbullet, and Discord all of which can be setup and enabled in each planes config file. Outputs the location name, map image and flight time on landing. (Tweepy and "Pushbullet.py" and Discord_webhooks)
Notify If a Selected Plane has taken off or landed using Python with OpenSky or ADS-B Exchange Data, outputs location of takeoff location of landing and takeoff by reverse lookup of coordinates.
Notify if configured planes have taken off or landed using Python with OpenSky or ADS-B Exchange Data, outputs location of takeoff location of landing and takeoff by reverse lookup of coordinates.
### Branches
Their are two branches of this program single is the original only supports one plane works with OpenSky and ADSBX. Multi branch is the new version supports multiple planes currently only works with ADSBX, will eventually implement OpenSky. Your current viewing multi.

Multi branch is the new version supports multiple planes, mainly built around being based on ADSBX data, OpenSky data in this version may have issues, didn't test much. Your current viewing multi.

## Why I made it
### Background
Made it so I could track Elon Musk's Jet and share with others of his whereabouts on Twitter. [](https://twitter.com/ElonJet)
I made this program so I could track Elon Musk's Jet and share with others of his whereabouts on Twitter. [](https://twitter.com/ElonJet) I have now Expanded and run multiple accounts for multiple planes, a list of the accounts here [plane-notify Twitter List](https://twitter.com/i/lists/1307414615316467715)
## How It works
### [ How It Works](PseudoCode.md)
- Takes data about every 15 seconds from OpenSky Network or ADS-B Exchange and compares it to previous data with what I've defined as a landing or takeoff event.
- A takeoff event is the plane is not on the ground, below 10k feet and ((previously no data and now getting data) or was previously on the ground).
- A landing event is previously below 10k feet and (previously getting data, no longer getting data and previously not on the ground) or (now on the ground and previously not on the ground).
- Given the coordinates of the aircraft the coordinates are reverse looked up for a location name. (GeoPY Nomination Geolocator)
- At the time of takeoff a takeoff time is set, which is referenced in the landing event to calculate approximate total flight time.
- A Static map image is created based off location name. (Google Static Maps API) or a screenshot of <https://global.adsbexchange.com/> is created using Selenium/ChromeDriver The selected plane is locked on in the screenshot.
- If the landing event and takeoff events are true, It will output to any of the following built-in output methods. (Twitter, Pushbullet, and Discord all of which can be setup and enabled in config.ini). Outputs the location name, map image and takeoff time if landing. (Tweepy and "Pushbullet.py" and Discord_webhooks)
## Setup / Install
### Make sure Python/PIP is installed
@ -55,25 +43,19 @@ pip3 install ptyz
### Install Selenium / ChromeDriver or setup Google Static Maps
Selenium/ChromeDriver is used to take a screenshot of the plane on globe.adsbexchange.com. Or use Google Static Maps, which can cost money if over used(No tutorial use https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/get-api-key to get to a key).
