In this project, I built a retro-inspired radar weather clock powered by an ESP32-S3, featuring a rotating radar model and a compact display that shows real-time weather information.

I'll walk you through the electronics, programming, mechanical assembly, and design process behind this unique desktop gadget. The spinning radar creates a cinematic vintage feel while live weather data is retrieved through an online API over Wi-Fi.

Compact, handmade, and functional, it combines retro aesthetics with modern electronics to create a one-of-a-kind desk decoration.

📡 Features:
• Real-time weather updates via API
• Wi-Fi setup through built-in hotspot
• Adjustable radar rotation speed
• Adjustable display brightness
• Custom-built mechanical radar

I share DIY electronics, maker projects, creative gadgets, and engineering builds that combine technology, design, and craftsmanship.
