Build a Live Flight Tracker on the Feather RP2350 This Weekend

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

This DIY project uses Adafruit's Feather RP2350 board and an SDR dongle to decode ADS-B signals from aircraft, displaying callsign, altitude, and position on a 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen. It also includes a lunar transit feature that alerts when a plane crosses the Moon. The build requires soldering headers and costs a few thousand pesos for the board and display combo.

Meridian48 take
A fun weekend project for hardware tinkerers, but the niche appeal and reliance on specialized parts limit its broader relevance.
