Hi @sonicgoose.
It’s already available since
v1.1.0. Check out the “setup” section of the README.md, it explains how to set it up.Wow. How did I miss that?! I’ve been following this module’s progress but clearly not close enough. Now I want to go home and try it! (Stupid work prevents me, though.) Thanks!
Ahah no problem. To be fair, I released this version only 7 days ago :)
Glad you get excited about it! Although, the module might not work as good as expected for you, given the volume of planes you track. You see, my module handles huge volume by… not handling it 😅 There is currently no limit in place in the number of planes returned by the socket or displayed on the mirror.
This is mainly due to my lack of good antenna (hence not a lot of planes to display) But I would be curious to hear how you think this should be done, especially how the filtering and ordering should be performed?
Let me know what you think @sonicgoose :)

I’m currently tracking 130 aircraft from 3 to 218 nautical miles away, so I’m getting a looooong list—but I’m happy to have it working! My preference would be to have the aircraft sorted by distance (nearest first) from latLng and then have an option to restrict the number of aircraft displayed (5, 10, 15…?)
And feature request: display aircraft speed in metric, imperial or knots, since that’s the aviation standard.
This is a great module! I’m really excited I got it working :)

@sonicgoose Yeah, I thought this would happen at some point. Need to think about how I can implement this.
Can I ask you a favour? Could you create issues on GitHub for the long list and the feature feature? Would be easier for me to track the different things. Thanks in advance :)

Done!

thos module works on 2.20?
-
@hogedir maybe, hasn’t been updated in 3 years
-
works but not available I think, anyone can test, because i’m a noob in that

This is great. We will have like a own FIDS.

MMM-FlightTracker is a MagicMirror module that provides real-time tracking of aircraft using ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data. It displays information like flight number, airline, altitude, speed, and current location on a map. This module is a valuable tool for aviation enthusiasts, travelers, or anyone interested in monitoring air traffic.
