Micro Radar: a tiny open-source flight radar for your desk

• asturdy 4mo ago
  Recently I designed and developed this tiny flight radar for a friend, as part of his wedding present. Really happy with the final result and it was a fun learning experience as my first Arduino project. Would love some feedback or suggestions! I still have two weeks until I gift it to him so plenty of time to improve upon it :) Cheers!

  A GPS option would be really cool. How do you move to a new WiFi / location?
  • asturdy 4mo ago
    Agreed, auto-location would be cool. A battery would be an easy addition though! For connecting to WiFi, when the board first turns on it tries to connect to a saved WiFi network, if it can't find one, the board hosts a WiFi hotspot which allows the user to connect to a nearby network (similar experience to what you get when you connect to a public WiFi). Once it gets past the WiFi connection stage it'll host a web server on the local network which allows for further configuration (API keys, location, etc.)
