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.

    ESP32 flight simulator uses MiniCPM5-2B and VoxCPM2 for AI tower voice

    AIA community-built ESP32-S3 cockpit attitude indicator lets users hold a button and talk to an AI tower. MiniCPM5-2B generates the replies from simulated altitude, speed, heading, pitch, and roll, while VoxCPM2 synthesizes a cloned radio-style voice. Speech recognition runs on a Mac via Qwen3-ASR, and the project's firmware and voice-pipeline code are publicly available on GitHub.
