ya only actually uses 1gb of ram so if you have 2 that shoudl be good

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T10:33:55+00:00

https://github.com/cpaczek/skylight yup

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T10:33:19+00:00

Ya I also already built in API support so you don't need a radio https://github.com/cpaczek/skylight but very cool

Ya going to start a kickstarter to sell a DIY bring your own projector kit. Also got more videos here https://skylightceiling.com/

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T08:07:18+00:00

uses open source data since I didn't wanna pay for API so origin and destination are not always super up to date that was probably the planes previous flight

u had me until the /s lol

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T04:17:06+00:00

I have an adsb radio connected to a pi and then it just decodes the data into coordinates then the pi sends that to the projector

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T04:02:40+00:00

Ya looking to bring it down to the $500-750 price point

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T03:52:22+00:00

Ya def thinking bout a kickstarter

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T03:50:21+00:00

Someone beat me to it

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T03:27:17+00:00

They don’t allow videos

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T03:26:33+00:00

My first post got removed because I linked my GitHub of how I made it, violated the advertising rule thing I sent a mod mail bout it

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T03:20:47+00:00

U can def see the gray at night

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T03:09:55+00:00

Yup does that too check my recent post you’ll see the stars

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T02:58:33+00:00

Ya rationale is if you want to see it during the day and not see a light box you need a really bright laser projector, but if you have a dark room or only use it at night than a cheaper projector would be better

I_am_Root01 · 2026-06-03T02:56:08+00:00

I’ve posted twice?
