Thread drift
So how long before someone comes up with an ADSB out solution like this? GPS layers are all over for Rasberry. I would transmit, so maybe that is the problem, just not legal? Just wondered if anyone had heard anything. It surely would never meet the mandate, but if it was cheap, it might give you better situational awareness.
cheers
Geoff

Technically, it's very feasible - it's been done already, in fact. Doing so would run afoul of both FAA and FCC rules.
As an aside, that it is in fact so easy to do demonstrates the lack of security inherent in the current ADS-B system and why primary radar will continue to have a place in the ATC system in a post-9/11 world.

I remember the uid = pi, and pwd=null.
no go on the null password.
Can someone chime in?

Username: pi, password: raspberry. The blue screen comes up but you really don't need to interact with the device at that point, it's already reading from the tuner and has created the wifi network.

The boot cycle throws some errors & the wifi network is not active.

You mean https://github.com/cyoung/stratux/tree/v0.2r1. That's been out for a few days now and is a improvement in stability

Those voodoo doers are a precious commodity.

My EFHW experience, while extensive, is all at 7, 10 and 14 MHz. UHF is a different animal when it comes to practical design and construction.
I'm going to sit back and watch the stripline and waveguide guys figure out proper matching for your receive antennas, which is important for Rx just as it is in Tx, except you don't blow finals with your mismatch in a receiver
Enjoying this very geeky thread.

I've been using AvNav EFB for a while now and like it. Relatively inexpensive too at $4.99 a month after the 30 day free trial.
I sent the developer an e-mail tipping him off about the Stratux project and let him know it might be a good move to support the device. I don't really want to change at this point as I'm used to it.
Anyway, I got this reply today. Just thought ya'all might like to know of this option.
"Jesse, this is a very exciting development. We will certainly support it. As soon as next week's release. Thanks for the heads up. Sanjay"

Got it working! Stratux is enabled & available.
On the ground I'm seeing weather. No traffic, but as others have said, you gotta be flyin'
I'll be test flying it tomorrow as my last flight prior to a panel upgrade.
I just received my GRT 8.4 Sport SX EFIS with synthetic vision. I'll use the old Dynon10A as a backup. It was state of the art when I installed it back in 2006.
