An ESP32 based plane radar for my desk
A developer created an ESP32-based plane radar that displays live aircraft positions on a 1.28-inch round display by receiving ADS-B signals, showing aircraft distance, bearing, and flight details in a sonar-style interface. After customizing the open-source firmware, they enhanced it with features like flight origin/destination information, local weather data, adjustable text size, and web-based configuration controls. The project demonstrates how affordable microcontroller boards and displays can be repurposed into functional aviation tracking devices.
