Raspberry Pi Tracks Flights and Weather in One Convenient Project

Raspberry Pi

Have you ever wondered where that plane passing overhead is going? Now you can know! A maker over at Reddit, known as C0wsaysmoo, has created a Raspberry Pi-powered flight tracking matrix. Not only does it let you know what planes are passing overhead, it also gives you a glimpse at the current weather forecast.

The matrix is based on a project, The Fridge Flight Tracker, created by another Reddit user known as Myniceaccount. C0wsaysmoo used this as a template and beefed it up with a few new features. The main screen is configured to show the current time and date. It also displays the temperature and provides a weather forecast for 3 days at a time.
