OpenBMB demos ESP32-S3 flight displays with MiniCPM5-2B and VoxCPM2 voice
Overview
OpenBMB posts on X that an ESP32-S3 desktop radar displays flight tracks and plays spoken tower-style alerts.
The device calls MiniCPM5-2B to write the announcements and VoxCPM2 to speak them, and the demo uses simulated flight data.
A later OpenBMB post describes a related community project, an ESP32-S3 cockpit attitude indicator. Users hold a button and talk to an AI tower, MiniCPM5-2B replies from simulated altitude, speed, heading, pitch and roll, and VoxCPM2 synthesizes a cloned radio-style voice. Speech recognition runs on a Mac through Qwen3-ASR. OpenBMB says the firmware and voice-pipeline code are public on GitHub.
