Flight Tracker — LED Layouts

Live ADS-B aircraft near the sign, refreshed ~10s. Information design after The Flight Wall — data-forward, no filler — for the three chosen LED layouts, each at true logical resolution. Every dot below is an addressable LED. Each flight leads with a brand-colored airline tail-fin derived from its callsign; semantic color is consistent across all signs:

smallsign

160 × 16 logical 160×16 physical · scale 1 · BDF only single-line ticker

Long and short — 160 columns, only 16 rows, no hi-res. One continuous 6×12 stream carries every field of every plane overhead, each led by its airline tail-fin. No rotation, so it scales to any number of aircraft.

64 × 16 logical 256×64 physical · scale 4 · hi-res YES hi-res hero ident

The narrowest logical canvas but 256 hi-res pixels wide. A brand tail-fin and a hero callsign lead; airline name, type, and a colored metric line fill the rest. One flight held at a time, big and legible.
