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 ;)
Actually possible to receive and decode ADS-B on ESP32, but MLAT is failing (tried hard but not found a trick yet).<p>Biggest problem isn’t that it’s not powerful enough, but the USB port bandwidth don’t match most SDR.<p>Using some clever tricks you can receive parts of the message on a slower USB and be able to decode ADS-B
I would actually expect the math to decode ads-b traffic is substantially less complex than, for example, a TLS connection.
Using ADS-B and calling it a "radar" feels wrong to me.<p>(But is is a cool project)
Well, a radar-like display, then. But not a radar.
radar *display*<p>making esp32-based radar emitter would've been cool, tho
