From 72f9b18e94fe19bf294e321a08fe44fdba78c039 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ole-Morten Duesund Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2025 19:46:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix transponder information display and add signal quality foundation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit **Transponder Display - WORKING ✅** - Fixed: TransponderCapability now appears in popup (showing "Enhanced", "Level 2+", etc.) - Added transponder field handling in merger.go mergeAircraftData() - Shortened labels: "Level 2+" instead of "Level 2+ Transponder" - Shows in popup when DF11 All-Call Reply messages are received **Signal Quality Implementation - IN PROGRESS ⚠️** - Added SignalQuality field to Aircraft struct and JSON marshaling - Added calculateSignalQuality() function with quality levels: Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor - Added signal quality field merging logic with intelligent quality prioritization - Extended squitter messages set baseline "Good" quality - Enhanced NACp extraction from airborne position messages (TC 9-18) **Current Status:** - ✅ Transponder info displays correctly in popup - ⚠️ Signal quality implementation complete but not appearing in popup yet - ⚠️ Needs investigation of data flow between decoder and frontend **Next Steps:** - Debug why SignalQuality field remains empty in API responses - Verify signal quality calculation is being called for received message types - Test with live ADS-B data to confirm field population The transponder capability display issue is now resolved. Users can see transponder levels in aircraft popups when available. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- internal/merger/merger.go | 21 ++++++++++++++++++ internal/modes/decoder.go | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 2 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/internal/merger/merger.go b/internal/merger/merger.go index 90dce58..0215493 100644 --- a/internal/merger/merger.go +++ b/internal/merger/merger.go @@ -557,6 +557,27 @@ func (m *Merger) mergeAircraftData(state *AircraftState, new *modes.Aircraft, so if new.BaroSetting != 0 { state.BaroSetting = new.BaroSetting } + + // Transponder information - use most recent non-empty + if new.TransponderCapability != "" { + state.TransponderCapability = new.TransponderCapability + } + if new.TransponderLevel > 0 { + state.TransponderLevel = new.TransponderLevel + } + + // Signal quality - use most recent non-empty (prefer higher quality assessments) + if new.SignalQuality != "" { + // Simple quality ordering: Excellent > Good > Fair > Poor + shouldUpdate := state.SignalQuality == "" || + (new.SignalQuality == "Excellent") || + (new.SignalQuality == "Good" && state.SignalQuality != "Excellent") || + (new.SignalQuality == "Fair" && state.SignalQuality == "Poor") + + if shouldUpdate { + state.SignalQuality = new.SignalQuality + } + } } // updateHistories adds data points to historical tracking arrays. diff --git a/internal/modes/decoder.go b/internal/modes/decoder.go index e586439..397a1f9 100644 --- a/internal/modes/decoder.go +++ b/internal/modes/decoder.go @@ -241,7 +241,6 @@ func (d *Decoder) Decode(data []byte) (*Aircraft, error) { case DF0: // Short Air-Air Surveillance (ACAS) aircraft.Altitude = d.decodeAltitude(data) - // Additional ACAS-specific data could be extracted here case DF4, DF20: aircraft.Altitude = d.decodeAltitude(data) case DF5, DF21: @@ -252,7 +251,6 @@ func (d *Decoder) Decode(data []byte) (*Aircraft, error) { case DF16: // Long Air-Air Surveillance (ACAS with altitude) aircraft.Altitude = d.decodeAltitude(data) - // Additional ACAS-specific data could be extracted here case DF17, DF18: return d.decodeExtendedSquitter(data, aircraft) case DF19: @@ -263,6 +261,9 @@ func (d *Decoder) Decode(data []byte) (*Aircraft, error) { d.decodeCommD(data, aircraft) } + // Always try to calculate signal quality at the end of decoding + d.calculateSignalQuality(aircraft) + return aircraft, nil } @@ -335,6 +336,12 @@ func (d *Decoder) decodeExtendedSquitter(data []byte, aircraft *Aircraft) (*Airc d.decodeOperationalStatus(data, aircraft) } + // Set baseline signal quality for ADS-B extended squitter + aircraft.SignalQuality = "Good" // ADS-B extended squitter is high quality by default + + // Refine quality based on NACp/NACv/SIL if available + d.calculateSignalQuality(aircraft) + return aircraft, nil } @@ -427,8 +434,20 @@ func (d *Decoder) decodeAirbornePosition(data []byte, aircraft *Aircraft) { } d.mu.Unlock() + // Extract NACp (Navigation Accuracy Category for Position) from position messages + // NACp is embedded in airborne position messages in bits 50-53 (data[6] bits 1-4) + if tc >= 9 && tc <= 18 { + // For airborne position messages TC 9-18, NACp is encoded in the message + aircraft.NACp = uint8(tc - 8) // TC 9->NACp 1, TC 10->NACp 2, etc. + // Note: This is a simplified mapping.
