Overview
Wall art that shows the aircraft flying over your house right now: a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W picks the most interesting plane in range and draws it as a poster on a 13.3-inch e-ink panel, in its airline's livery with route, altitude and speed.
How it works
Flight data comes from adsb.lol, a community-run ADS-B network. The software renders artwork, airline, flight number and a great-circle route over a world map, then dithers it for the six-colour panel. The README says the software runs against live traffic, but the panel driver has only been tested against a fake panel so far.
