system is currently very much a WIP hence the janky mounting for the raspberry pi boards atm
eventually they'll be getting a case and another custom 3d print to secure them to the joist also

the raspberry boards are running of a tplink 5 port poe switch and also a decent cheap tenda unmanaged poe powered poe switch as I ended up needing an extra line and didn't feel like running it again lol

the pc does acars (currently feed Airframes - https://airframes.io with acars over iridium data from satellites in the sky)
It has a airspy r2 cable tied to the rafter beside it with a clip to secure the cables in place

the other stuff has a pi that does ads-b data (currently feeds a good few sites though my personal favorite is AIRPLANES.LIVE - independent unfiltered ADS-B and MLAT aircraft tracking. Learn about ADSB aircraft tracking and join the community. - https://airplanes.live )

the green sdr is acars also just it's the more old fashioned stuff and uses a antenna mounted just behind it

the grey antenna is a 1090 mhz antenna for the blue sdr and ads-b
the larger one in the back is a acars antenna from vinnant.sk (the of126s model iirc)

then the rest of the wiring is just either power or data lines and yes I know it's a bit of a cleanup (the box in the first image is removed in the past few days as I found the pi and sdr in it was getting too hot really
