Overview

A custom application for an ESP32-S3 chip with an LCD display housed in this case. It features a Wi-Fi manager that allows the device to connect to a Wi-Fi network through a simple, self-hosted web interface. The device also hosts a website that allows users to configure various settings, such as the refresh rate for flight data and the airport whose arrivals should be tracked. Once configured, the device displays up to six incoming aircraft for the selected airport, ordered by their proximity to the airport, with the closest aircraft shown first. The display cycles through each aircraft, showing its information for a configurable amount of time before moving on to the next one. Below you can see all different information that are displayed for a single flight.
