Script description

FlightRadar

A real-time flight radar script for AWTRIX-NG that retrieves nearby aircraft data from the adsb.fi API and displays it directly on your AWTRIX device.

Features

Real-Time Aircraft Tracking

The script finds and displays the three nearest aircraft within a configurable search radius.

Displayed Information

For each detected aircraft, the display can show:

  • Flight number or aircraft hex ID
  • Distance
  • Altitude
  • Ground speed
  • Flight direction

Automatic Refresh

Aircraft data is refreshed automatically at a configurable interval.

You can adjust the refresh interval directly in the script settings.

Overhead Aircraft Alert

When the nearest aircraft comes within the configured overhead distance, the script sends a notification to the AWTRIX-NG device.

This can be used to alert you when an aircraft is flying close to your location.

Emergency Alerts

The script detects standard aviation emergency squawk codes:

  • 7500 — Hijacking / unlawful interference
  • 7600 — Radio communication failure
  • 7700 — General emergency

When one of these emergency squawk codes is detected, AWTRIX-NG displays a red emergency alert notification.

Display Behavior

Aircraft information is displayed using rotating pages.

Each page includes:

  • An animated airplane icon
  • Scrolling aircraft information
  • Automatic rotation between nearby aircraft

Customization

The following settings can be configured:

  • Latitude
  • Longitude
  • Search radius
  • Aircraft data refresh interval
  • Page duration
  • Overhead alert distance
  • Notification duration
  • Airplane color

Data Source

Aircraft data is retrieved from the adsb.fi API.
