Aviation enthusiast uses Raspberry Pi and ABS-B radio to create viral real-time airport tracker — open-source 'Skylight' intercepts aircraft signals and projects flight paths onto your ceiling
Software engineer Cameron Paczek has developed an open-source project called Skylight that uses a Raspberry Pi and an ADS-B radio to track real-time aircraft movements. The system intercepts flight signals and projects the paths of planes, along with celestial details, onto a user's ceiling. While a high-end setup can cost up to $1,800, a functional version can be built for under $400, with a pre-assembled version planned for release. AI
