The on air package is so cool! I was a bit surprised to see it written in Go, but it explains the Mac/Linux portability. I just got a spare esp32 a couple days ago and thought it would take a while to find a good use for it, but I think this is it.

Is the esp board connected to a relay which toggles a regular 110V sign? I’m conflicted about running the board on a higher amperage 5V power supply and using a 5V LED matrix for indicating on-air status or just getting some off the shelf 110V type thing to toggle on or off. The matrix sounds more fun, for sure.

Edit: and thank you for sharing your work on this!
