smalltv-mod

One firmware, three modes, three boards. Turn a cheap SmallTV cube into a ticker, a Claude usage meter, or a plane radar.

The GeekMagic SmallTV is a small cube with a 1.54” colour screen, an ESP inside, and a USB-C port. This firmware replaces the stock apps with three modes you switch between in a built-in web UI, and it updates over WiFi.

The SmallTV running its three modes

Stock and crypto ticker

Price, change, percent change, and a sparkline for up to 8 rotating symbols. Data from Yahoo Finance with no backend, or your own webhook.

Claude usage meter

An animated mascot plus your 5-hour and 7-day usage bars with reset countdowns, fed over WiFi by the clawdmeter-daemon on your PC.

Plane radar

A scope centred on your location with nearby aircraft, headings, speed vectors, and callsigns, from the free adsb.fi feed or a LAN webhook.

This firmware builds for three boards from one codebase. Confirm which one you have before you flash it.
