theleestarr writes an open-source ESP32 firmware designed for 1.28″ round displays that functions as a sonar-style radar showing live ADS-B aircraft data around a user's location. The project is compatible with the Waveshare ESP32-S3-LCD-1.28 and can also be used with an ESP32-C3 Super Mini paired with an external GC9A01 display.
- Uses live traffic from adsb.fi
- Features selectable range scales (5, 10, 15, or 25 km) via the BOOT button
- Provides optional runway overlays for major airports
- Includes a sonar-style UI with aircraft symbols, callsigns, and altitude data

This project details building a small interactive desktop 'pet' using an Xiao ESP32 S3 microcontroller, a 0.9-inch OLED display, and a 3D printed case created with JUSTWAY.
Arduino code for an OLED flight display. This project uses an ESP32 to query the adsb.lol API for nearby flights and display the information on an OLED screen.
T-Beam Meshtastic is a wireless module with ESP32, LoRa, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth capabilities. It features a 0.96-inch OLED display and supports various frequency bands including 433/868/915/923Mhz.
Lopaka is a web-based tool for creating graphics and user interfaces for electronic projects, supporting various display types and libraries. It allows users to create images and interfaces visually, with generated source code for integration into projects.
This website serves as a resource for educators and students to learn computational thinking through hands-on projects. It provides instructions for designing and building digital clocks and smartwatches using low-cost components and MicroPython. The projects leverage recent technological advancements, including the Raspberry Pi Pico and optimized MicroPython runtime, to create affordable and efficient learning tools.
The author describes their project of replacing a Digital Pet from Tiger, a cheaper Tamagotchi rip-off, with an Arduino Nano, an OLED screen, and 6V batteries. This is a prototype for their thesis in New Technologies of Art. They detail modifications like eviscerating the original device, integrating a new battery holder, and making adjustments to the case. The final goal is to create a working game loop display on the OLED screen.
David Johnson-Davies explains how to efficiently and accurately smooth characters for small displays, using a routine to programmatically smooth out corners and adding hinting functionality.
