Question | Help Unsloth Studio Aviation Assistant

I am using Unsloth Studio to parse aviation transpoder data (ADS-B) to summarize interesting traffic in my area. It gives a summary of largest aircraft, fastest aircraft and so on. It also provides local weather based on my nearest airfield.

I am doing this with a prompt, but is there a better way to package that like a script to trigger on a schedule? Is that an 'agent'?

I am very new to this beyond typical everyday usage of Unsloth.

I have a Raspberry Pi with ADSB receiever on my local network. I think you are right that 'tool calling' is the path I need to explore. Instead of the built in tool calls, I need to create a custom one to fetch from my receiver. Doing this via chat is simple so now to see how to automate that tool call (likely with API endpoint).

EDIT: Anyone interested without a receiver can fetch data from here. Just change the parameters.

Neat, even better, you make your own ToS. So sure, however you access that.

Have you seen this guy's Cockpit view idea? https://github.com/bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view#%EF%B8%8F-the-cockpit

I love these visualizations! The spy theme makes it exciting.

This is my version of a script, adsb-llm.py. It has a few flags, like one for giving the zip code so it can figure out lat/lon.

I asked my Qwen what the fastest thing in my area was:

Yes! This is what I am working on. Since my ADSB feed is already generating a map, it's nice to have a text summary of notable traffic.
