An LED panel that shows the aviation around you

Summary

TheFlightWall TheFlightWall is an LED wall which shows live information of flights going by your window. This is the open source version with some basic guides to the panels, mounting them together, data services, and code.

Component List Hardware Dimensions With 20 panels (10x2) - ~63 inches x ~12.6 inches LED Panels These are the LED panels we used, but any similar LED matrix should work. We designed 3D printable brackets to attach the panels together, this is one approach, but you could also use MDF board or even cardboard (as we did originally haha) Then two 63 inch horizontal supports for extra strength. We bought wooden floor trim and cut it to size. Obviously this is just one way to hold them together, but we're sure there are better ways! Wiring Here is a wiring diagram for how to connect the whole system together. The entire panel is controlled by one data line - simple electronics in exchange for very low refresh rates, don't expect any 60 FPS gaming on this panel! Data and Software Data API Keys The data for this project consists of two main data sources: Core public ADS-B data for flight positions and callsigns - using OpenSky Flight information lookup - aircraft, airline, and route (origin/destination airport). This is typically the hardest / most expensive information to find.
