Every aircraft on the map was heard by an antenna on somebody’s roof. That data is free to build on. The frame’s firmware and protocol are open. The drawings are ours, and the frame is where they live.

​
Three layers

​
The data

One HTTPS call tells you what is flying over a point, nearest first. Two more tell you where a flight goes and find anything a person might type. API quickstart. The smallest useful thing to make with it is a desk display that shows the nearest flight overhead: an ESP32, a 2.9 inch e-paper, eight wires. Build a flight display.

​
The frame

Point a stock frame at your own server, or build a frame from parts and run the same firmware. Bring your own server and build your own frame.

​
The art

A key for builders who make their own device and want our renderer and the catalogue’s drawings on it, without buying a frame. It is not available yet, and its terms and price are not set. If you want one, write to [email protected] with what you are building; it helps us shape it.

​
Builds

What people made: displays, dashboards, integrations, frames from parts. The gallery. Share yours.

​
Feed the network

Everything above gets better with every antenna. A Raspberry Pi, a USB receiver and a 1090 MHz antenna, about US$100, no soldering. Feed the network.
