Today I got serious about the weather radar and finished most of the programming required to get it going. 5" LCD in a real Bendix radar chassis:

I'm very pleased with the results. :)

Great job Matt! Where did you get the LCD from? What's the resolution?

You might get a better visual result if you were to place a lightly smoked
