Hi Larry,

If you are comfortable with SSH to access the Raspberry Pi while it's running and if you can use "vi" or "nano" to edit the file /etc/stratux.conf then you can turn logging on/off that way without touching the code.

The content of the config file are shown in this other thread:

You want to set ReplayLog to false.

Thanks Glen. I can figure out SSH, but I don't have a mac or linux, so not sure how to edit the file yet. Can I delete the log file via SSH? Also, can I edit the config file while the SD card is in my windows machine or is this config file programmatically create at run time?

I'd suggest doing a little reading on "nano". It's the easiest text editor on the Stratux.

For more detailed questions, it would be good to use the reddit forum:

I'm doing everything in my power to resist turning VAF into a Stratux support site.

Here is what support at Fltplan answered on this matter:

"This is because Stratux does not have built in GPS and at this time our app does not support separate ADS-B and GPS receivers.
We will be making changes to the programming in the next couple weeks so that you can separate the two out."

Interesting, and good to know as I am running FltPlanGo on Android as well. It does make me wonder though: Could you plug in a GPS antenna to the Stratux and include the GPS data that way? One of the benefits of the Stratus/Dual/etc. units is that it's also a GPS, so you can ensure good signal regardless of where the tablet is in the cockpit... Maybe it's an option for Stratux?

Stratux has beta level support for GPS. As development continues, it will have full support for a GPS/AHRS module that adds about $45 to the cost. You can read about current beta testing experience over on the reddit subgroup.

Delta Pop & Stratux - Wow!
 
No surprise to many VAFers, but Don P's Delta Pop antenna is a big winner with Stratux! I made a quick and dirty 2X - MCX to BNC splitter cable by jamming 2 RG174 cables into an RG58 BNC. This can't be legal...... what the heck, give it a try!

Well, this is what I saw on the ground at KANE......No towers are available on the ground at KANE.....


At 1000 AGL I had 5 towers and crazy data rates....


A video of the action - sorry about the music - it was better than loud engine noise.

The stock antenna and the jpole work OK, but the Delta Pop is crazy good.
