Plane Tracker Mini is a mini ADS-B visualisation device which receives ADS-B radio signals and displays aircraft on a small display by converting the aircraft coordinates received via ADS-B into pixel X and Y value.
Because Plane Tracker Mini is a portable device, the home coordinates cannot be static. To solve this problem a USB GPS module is used to constantly update the home position as it changes.
