dAISy - A simple DIY AIS Receiver

dAISy (do AIS yourself) is a simple AIS receiver based on Silicon Labs Si4362 EZRadioPro receiver, Texas Instruments MSP430G2553 MCU and MSP-EXP430G2 v1.5 LaunchPad. The software was developed with Code Composer Studio 5.5.

AIS, short for "Automatic Identification System", is a tracking system for ships. More on Wikipedia. There are many websites dedicated to tracking ships based on this system, like for example MarineTraffic.

dAISy features:

  • integrated radio, no need for external radio with discriminator tap
  • hopping between channel A (161.975 MHz) and B (162.025 MHz)
  • receives, decodes and validates packets according to ITU-R M.1371-4 (NRZI decoding, bit-destuffing, CRC validation)
  • wraps valid packets into NMEA 0183 sentences (AIVDM)
  • sends NMEA sentences to PC via serial (9600 8N1)

The output of dAISy can be processed and visualized by mapping and navigation programs like OpenCPN.
