Stratus wanna-be (Stratux)
For those that like a challenge and have some technical skills, here is an inexpensive (~$120) way to get ADS-B in the cockpit. Improvements are on-going, according to the author.

I already bought a Stratus II but thinking of doing this anyway in the next month or so.

Interesting
I think I will give it a try too.

That is awesome. I have ADS-B-in running on a home PC with RTL-SDR and it works very well.
It looks like EFIS's like my GRT Sport use the GDL90 protocol for this info, I am wondering if I can make it work via serial link with my display...

I suspect there will be a lot of FS: Stratus II ads here and on ebay in the near future!
At least I hope so! And when I find how to get a GDL-3D clone going I'll be all over that myself!

If someone figures this out that would be awesome! I'd love a low cost ads-b in alternative to feed my AFS 4500 until the right and right priced in/out solution presents itself. The lowest cost solution so far is around $600 and that's pretty steep for something I see as temporary.

Sweet! For that price I'll give Stratux a try. If it's lame there's a lot of other things I can do with a Raspberry Pi and a USB battery pack.

I haven't tried getting it to talk to Foreflight, but I do have a Pi and a USB DVB-T receiver sitting here... it does a pretty good job of showing me what's flying around the area, even with a teeny little POS antenna inside the office.

I have all of the parts in stock (from my iGate projects).
If there is a local[ish] pilot to 53VG and who uses ForeFlight, I'll have one of these assembled before this weekend.
PM or email me if you're up to doing some flight testing.

I wish I had the technical knowledge to built something like this.
