Android smartphone can be bought for less than £30 on ebay.
Haven't tried but assuming the browser supports JavaScript, this should be fine

Thx

But a phone is not what I'm after, I want a panel mount display I already have a tablet and phone which is already way too cluttered.

It can be done.



With a 10 quid old instrument from eBay, a raspberry pi zero and pi TFT display.   To make it work really well, the source needs radar page needs adjusting.

I saw this and wondered if PAW could be substituted for FLARM:

Mr Cross
Can you send more information on the Pi Zero W? and how well it went. Looks great.
I have one sat on my bench and this would be a great App.
I'm guessing the onboard WiFi on the 'W' version is OK?

It's just a web page, so you just load normal software on the Pi, connect to the PAW and then bring up the web page, isn't it?

I was trying to get Lee to put the traffic display on the PAW's actual screen output....so you could just plug a screen into the PAW. Any chance?  :o ;D
