<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I purchased a Waveshare 5" round display and a Pi Zero 2W to
create a wall display with nearby flights on a faux radar screen,
and I plan to demo this project on the 10th.</p>
<p>The application is entirely vibe coded in C using the LVGL
library to write to the framebuffer, and so far it:</p>
<ul>
<li>pulls flight information from my local ADSB decoder and
supplements that data with flight details from adsb.fi.</li>
<li>shows the flight position with heading, tail/flight number,
and altitude.</li>
<li>colours aircraft positions cyan if using local data, green if
from adsb.fi, grey for on the ground (taxiing or at the gate),
and red if squawking 7500 (hijacking), 7600 (radio failure), or
7700 (emergency).</li>
<li>simulates a radar sweep and updates the flight positions and
causes the pins to glow momentarily when the sweep crosses the
aircraft.</li>
<li>keeps the track for the last 120 seconds of flight, and
removes it when the aircraft goes beyond the edge of the screen
or lands.</li>
</ul>
<p>Before the meeting, I hope to have added the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>display detailed aircraft and flight information when you
touch on one of the pins.</li>
<li>switch to a weather/clock screen after period of inactivity,
or by swiping.</li>
<li>show a coloured ring at the edge of the display if there's a
local weather warning.</li>
</ul>
<p>Take care, Gordo</p>
