Transform your Reachy Mini into an intelligent aircraft spotter that tracks, announces, and follows planes overhead
Connects to dump1090 or any SBS-format ADS-B receiver to track aircraft in real-time with position, altitude, speed, and callsign data.
Reachy Mini automatically points its head toward the closest aircraft, calculating bearing and elevation angles for smooth, natural tracking at 50Hz.
Announces aircraft entering your detection zone with natural speech using ElevenLabs TTS, including callsign, altitude, and direction.
Configurable detection radius with precise haversine distance calculations and bearing computations for accurate aircraft positioning.
Beautiful web interface for setting your location, detection radius, robot heading, and monitoring active aircraft in real-time.
Update settings on the fly without restarting. Changes to location, radius, and heading take effect immediately.
