Showcase of a KiCad Hardware Project: Live Screen Tracker for Planets & ISS

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I design hardware using KiCad (open-source!), which lets me export board designs as STEP files. One thing led to another, and I created this site to showcase my latest project.
Screen Tracker: Live Planets & ISS
This simple screen displays the real-time locations of the planets and the ISS (International Space Station). The project involves a custom API, a designed PCB with Gerber files, and a few soldered components.

Screen Tracker Project
Your Screen Tracker project looks impressive! I can see you've created a visualization system that displays real-time locations of planets and the International Space Station.
From what you've shared:
- You designed the hardware using KiCad (an excellent open-source EDA tool)
- You exported board designs as STEP files
- You've created a web visualization hosted on PythonAnywhere
- The project includes a custom API
- You've designed a PCB with available Gerber files
- The physical build requires some soldering
The live visualization looks clean and professional. The combination of hardware design and real-time data visualization is a great example of combining electronics with web technologies.
Is there something specific about the project you'd like to discuss? Perhaps the Three.js implementation, the PCB design process in KiCad, or how you're fetching the real-time location data?
