This project implements a retro-style ADS-B radar display designed specifically for the ESP32 using a Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) ILI9341. It fetches aircraft data from local dump1090 instances and visualizes real-time information, including position, altitude, speed, and callsigns, on an interactive radar scope or within a tabular list.
Key features:
* Radar scope visualization featuring range rings, crosshairs, and blips for approaching aircraft.
* A detailed aircraft data table providing quick access to nearby flight info.
* Touchscreen support allowing users to cycle through large radar, split-screen, and full-table layout modes.
* Automatic identification of military aircraft via red color highlighting.
* Highly optimized for MicroPython on ESP32 hardware using specific CYD libraries.

This project is an ESP32-based ADSB tracker that provides a real-time flight radar display similar to FlightRadar24 on a small round TFT screen. It displays aircraft positions, trails, and local airport markers using data from sources like ADSB.lol or OpenSky. The system includes advanced visual features such as auto zoom cycling, decorative day/night sky layers with sun and moon calculations based on solar math, and optional GPS support for localized tracking.
- ESP32 DevKit V1 compatibility with Waveshare 1.28 inch GC9A01 round TFT display
- WiFiManager integration for easy network configuration
- Real-time aircraft trails and deconfliction to reduce visual clutter near airports
- Dynamic zoom cycling from 25 km to 250 km range
- Local solar math for sun position and moon phase rendering
- Optional TinyGPSPlus support for live location coordinates

A specialized ADS-B Software Defined Radio (SDR) kit designed for aircraft tracking using a Raspberry Pi. This blue R820T2 RTL2832U model features high stability with 0.5 PPM TCXO to prevent frequency drift and includes an onboard 1090 MHz filter and amplifier for enhanced signal range. The package comes with a purpose-built 8 inch 5 dBi antenna, an aluminum heat-dissipating case, and industrial-grade microSD software pre-loaded for easy setup via web browser without command line work.
Key features:
- Plug-and-play configuration via WiFi/web browser
- Integrated 1090 MHz filter and amplifier
- High-reliability industrial grade microSD card
- Aluminum case for heat dissipation and interference reduction
- Drop-in replacement for FlightAware Pro Stick Plus

An introduction to ADS-B Scope, an open source firmware project that transforms the LilyGo T-Display-P4 into a standalone, portable aircraft tracking device. By connecting an RTL-SDR dongle, users can view real-time flight data including callsigns, altitude, speed, and position on a 4 inch AMOLED touchscreen without needing a computer or internet connection.
Key features include:
- Real-time aircraft tracking with visual data on an integrated screen.
- A webapp for viewing live maps with aircraft trails and log replays via USB-C.
- Meshtastic-compatible mesh messaging protocol using the built-in LoRa radio.
- SD card logging with GPS timestamps and USB mass storage support.
