This looks like a fun project. Any reason for using resistive touch model?

keyth72 · 2 months ago

It's what I learned on, and there seems to be more info available out there about it (for now), but capacitive touch CYD would probably be better/more responsive. The resistive touch option seems to be a few dollars cheaper in general on Amazon.

Aaaw, this only displays the position on a screen :( I was hoping for the cool version where a small arm is physically pointing at the ISS.

Or maybe this is the one you meant: https://www.reddit.com/r/arduino/comments/11pxh3h/iss_tracke...

you seem to be (someone who wants to appear) more experienced. maybe you could give constructive feedback rather than ridiculing. what a negative comment just to feel better about yourself. sad.

keyth72 · 2 months ago

No need to perpetuate any negativity, I can take it ;) constructive feedback is appreciated though!

I saw that one! Very impressive project with 3D printed parts. Here is that project for anyone interested: https://projecthub.arduino.cc/alex_chang/satellite-tracker-2...

Another variant of the generic:

"Read a REST endpoint via HTTP and draw it on a display with LVGL"

But also funny because OP used two MCUs, when a single ESP32 could do all of this.

keyth72 · 2 months ago

Yup, that's all it is! Really simple beginner project, with room to grow on the hardware.

Looks like a fun tinker project. Could be easily extended with a GPS receiver to show your location on the map.

keyth72 · 2 months ago

Definitely alot of directions you could go with it, looking forward to seeing what people do with the code!

This is a complete tangent, but a photographer recently captured what is likely the all-time best shot of the ISS.

WOW that is a cool shot, thanks for sharing!

Really neat! If you're interested in adding clouds to your basemap I built a service [0] which generates free, almost-live cloudmaps (with alpha channel or precomposited onto a Blue Marble image) as part of my own ISS tracker project

That's really cool! Starred so I can find it later, might be challenging putting it on the esp32 but if there's an easy way to downsize the images then it should be do-able. Thanks!

A video about a fully open source guitar pedal with features similar to commercial high end digital effects. Discusses the project and demos various effects.
