A small device on a PCB that displays flights in the nearby area.

Description

A PCB project powered by an ESP32. It uses a ILI9341 screen. It has 4 navigation buttons for moving around the map, up, down, left and right. It also has a rotary encoder by the buttons, so you can zoom in and out. The screen is decently large, and it is able to be used as a touchscreen if I want to add some of that functionality later.

Questions

How big is the Flight tracker PCB?

It measures 165 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flight tracker use?

7 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Flight tracker KiCad files?

From the BANANA8787/Flight-tracker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/flightTracker.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/flightTracker.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flight tracker design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BANANA8787 before reusing the design.
