GeoFS Simulator → Tampermonkey Telemetry Script → Serial/Web Communication → Raspberry Pi Pico → TFT Display / LED / Inputs
There are 3 Tabs on the display:
- FLT — Displays Flight data (IAS, ALT, VS, HDG, Pitch, Roll, etc.)
- NAV — Displays Navigation information (Waypoint, Course, Bearing, Distance)
- ADA — Displays Aircraft data & alerts (AOA, G-Load, Engine, Wind, Warnings)ngs)
Cockpit-style avionics layout Typeface: Airbus B612 font used for all cockpit text renderingg
