The full story
A desktop flight-radar ornament built with Claude Code on an ESP32-S3 5" touch panel using ESPHome. It shows live aircraft overhead on an ATC-style scope with a rotating sweep, and tapping a plane shows its origin, destination, altitude, speed and heading.
There are optional rain-radar and map overlays, and through Home Assistant it doubles as an alarm clock that rings through a Wi-Fi speaker with per-weekday schedules. Everything can be set on the touchscreen, and the code is open source for non-commercial use.
