Micro Radar: a tiny open-source flight radar for your desk (github.com)
asturdy 1 days 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 10 hours 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.)
