The Flight Proximity Tracker is a project that keeps you in the know about the nearby aerial traffic. This project displays real-time data of nearby aircraft using scrolling text, along with airline icons just like a departure board in an airport!
This project uses the Matrix Portal S3 with CircuitPython. The Matrix Portal S3 fetches and process data from the FlightAware's AeroAPI. Then the processed data will be displayed on two connected 64x64 LED matrix displays.
