Tom Nardi writes that Mateusz Juszczyk has created a desktop gadget called ESP32-Plane-Radar, which uses an ESP32-C3 Super Mini and a round GC9A01 display to visualize aircraft movement. Rather than using actual radar hardware, the device connects via WiFi to adsb.fi to pull crowdsourced Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) flight data, creating a professional-looking circular radar display that reflects real-world local airspace activity.
- The project features a minimalistic 3D printed enclosure for its components.
- A web-based configuration interface is included for easier setup via WiFi.
- Despite the name, it does not sniff ADS-B signals directly from radio waves but uses internet data instead.

A user is asking about the compatibility of different modules (GPS, GPIO, I2C, 'Port C' UART) with the Cardputer, specifically whether modules using 'Port C' can be used.
A curated list of resources for the M5Stack Cardputer, a $30 credit-card sized mini computer based on the ESP32-S3. Includes specs, pre-installed apps, community apps, and resources.
The M5Stack Cardputer v1.1 is a high-performance card computer featuring a StampS3A microcontroller, 56-key keyboard, 1.14-inch TFT screen, and various interfaces for expansion and control. It's ideal for rapid prototyping, industrial control, and IoT projects.
The T-Deck is a compact device with a 2.8-inch IPS LCD touch screen, integrated keyboard, trackball, microphone, and speaker, running on an ESP32-S3 dual-core processor. It supports various frequencies and includes a GPS module and battery in its Plus variant. It features a U.FL/IPEX antenna connector for LoRa and can be flashed using Espressif's firmware download mode.
The ESP32-S3 IR Thermal Imaging Camera Module is a wireless IR thermal imaging camera based on the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 chip, featuring 80x62 array pixels and supporting 45°/90° FOV. It integrates a recharge and discharge circuit with onboard Lithium battery header for flexible power supply.
Waveshare has launched an ESP32-S3-based thermal imaging camera module with 80x62 resolution, offering both 45° and 90° wide angle versions. The module includes a USB-C port, expansion pads, and supports WiFi and Bluetooth LE.
