# adsb-feather-display

A simple client (in MicroPython) and server (in Go) for showing overhead planes

on a Adafruit FEATHER (ESP8266) with FeatherWing OLED display.

The server uses the OpenSky API to find planes in the given bounding box, then

uses the VirtualRadar database (locally) to determine the route of the aircraft

from its callsign.

The server exposes accepts web socket connections from the client, and will

periodically poll the OpenSky API as long as there is a client connected. Any

overhead planes are sent to the client as JSON documents over the web socket

connection. An empty list indicates there are no planes overhead.

## Example

It looks like this on the FEATHER:

```

CHQ to LHR

1000m 300 km/h

BAW661

```

With additional information being shown about the origin airport available on a

button press:

```

Chania (Greece)

```

## Server

The server is a standard Go application and can be developed as usual with the

Go tools.

It requires the VirtualRadar database to be available to run, which can be

downloaded with:

```

make data

```

### Deployment

Building:

```

docker build -t adsb-server .

```

Running:

```

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 adsb-server

```

## Client

The client is a simple MicroPython application. Developing the client requires

MicroPython to be installed on the host machine.

The application can be deployed to the FEATHER with:

```

# assumes /dev/ttyUSB0

make deploy

```
