This is how

This is how live shows planes am dial integrated a custom schematik.io type a project M5 generates schematics instructions click uploads directly flying see going. I am using this M5 dial board with integrated round display and a 3D printed custom stand for it. Then you go to schematik.io and type in "Build me a live Flight Radar scanner with the M5Stack M5Dial board." The registry doesn't have the M5Dial. I'll define it as a custom board using the researched hard-wired pins. Let me also get the base ESP32-S3 pinout to reference valid GPIOs. Good. Now I have everything I need to specify the M5Dial's hard-wired pins. TIP: (9C9A0B, 8, 9), MOSI/SCL: (CS=1, D0=4, D1=16, BL=9) Touch (FT5306, 26) SCL=4, SDA=7, SCL=12 Encoder: A=40, B=41 Button (BTNA)=42 Buzzer: GPIO3 HOLD/Power: GPIO46 RFID/RTC shared G2: same SDA=7, SCL=12 Now I'll set up the custom board, add components, wire, write firmware, and finalize. Board defined. Now let me add the project components -- no external wiring needed since everything is on-board. Add a WiFi credential placeholder and the OpenSky API config as software-level items. Working... Board: M5Stack Fire Read ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 (8 MB PSRAM, 36 pins) Set board: M5Stack M5Dial Added a component Added WiFiStack M5Dial Wired 2 connectors Wrote firmware (33.4 KB, 5 bits) Wrote 5 assembly steps Project validated (with notes) Rotate the encoder knob to scroll the list up/down with a live scrollbar Press the under-screen button to cycle through 6 region presets: UK & Ireland, West Europe, East Coast USA, West Coast USA, SE Asia, Eastern Australia -- with a beep confirmation Key design decisions Topic Board API auth Memo M5Dial defined as a custom board -- all 7 on-board peripherals (TFT, touch, encoder, button, buzzer, RTC, RFID) declared with their hard-wired pins OpenSky switched to OAuth2, firmware in March 2026; firmware does the full client-credentials flow -- fetches a Bearer token, auto-refreshes before 30-min expiry ArduinoJson stream-filter used on the HTTP response so only the states array is parsed -- critical for the ~8 Generated project output Code Diagram Pins Components Assembly One-click Deploy. Download mode, then re-click Deploy. The M5Dial v1.1 uses the StampS3A -- the same firmware works on both versions. Step 5: Power on and use After flashing the board will reboot automatically. -- The display shows "FLIGHT RADAR", connects to Wi-Fi, fetches an OAuth2 token, then immediately pulls aircraft data. -- Rotate the knob up/down to scroll through the aircraft list. Each row shows callsign, altitude in feet, and speed in knots. Aircraft on the ground show 'GND'. -- Press the button (under the screen) to cycle through 6 built-in region presets: UK & Ireland, Coast USA, West Coast USA, SE Asia, Eastern Australia. A short beep confirms the change. -- Data refreshes every ~15 seconds automatically. A scrollbar on the right edge appears when there are more aircraft than fit on screen. Connected USB 303A:1001 Disconnect Flashing This board uses a CP2102 / CP2104 USB-to-serial bridge. If it isn't detected when you connect, you might need to install the CP210x driver.
