ppoinha writes a project for the ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) that functions as a real-time aircraft tracker, rendering a live radar Plan Position Indicator (PPI) on its 2.8-inch touchscreen. The application displays nearby aircraft details such as callsigns and flight levels, provides weather information via Open-Meteo, and includes a built-in web server for remote configuration of location and search radius.
- Utilizes the ESP32's dual-core architecture to handle API calls on Core 0 while maintaining smooth UI rendering on Core 1.
- Integrates data from OpenSky Network for ADS-B states and hexdb.io for ICAO route lookups.
- Features a scrollable list of the five closest flights along with real-time system statistics like WiFi RSSI and free RAM.
