An ESP32 based plane radar for my desk

Looks pretty cool, though kinda "cheating" by pulling from adsb.fi - though I think you'd need something a lot more powerful than an ESP32 to receive and decode ADS-B ;)

Well, a radar-like display, then. But not a radar.

“Finally, the firmware now supports authenticated OTA updates, so future builds can be installed through the browser instead of connecting the board over USB.”

What does that mean?

Perhaps I didn’t read it thoroughly enough but it seems that lat/long of the “radar” are expected to be entered by user, I think using wifi positioning could be of great assist and could be done from mcu itself without involving web portal, though maybe portal already does it (didn’t get to see it)

radar *display*

making esp32-based radar emitter would've been cool, tho

Its an amazing work

ADS-B is not radar, despite ATC calling these sorts of things “secondary radar”.
