That can corrupt the SD card if the Pi was writting to it when you pulled the plug.
I use an app called WebSSH to connect to the pi and then issue a clean showdown command

I use a similar app ($2) from the iPad: SimplePi. It can issue restart or shutdown commands to the RPi running Stratux. It works well for me, and when I try out a new build of the Stratux software, it's easy for SimplePi to connect to the new version - just allow it to delete the old security credentials and then tell it to connect again (assuming you're using the same password. The default username in the RPi is pi, and the default password is raspberry.)

I am no PI expert but since the PI has built in OI capability, could someone use that to add a switch and some code to the Stratux to let it know to shutdown clean before turning off the power?

Brian,
the topic has been circling the drain for several weeks. Once the project settles a bit, the discussion is to make the SD card read-only by default so cutting power is completely safe. At that point, if you want a power switch, it will be just that simple "switch off power".

I'm working on a serial interface that connects to the GRT EFIS using the same serial interface as the ZAON (2 wires). It also connects to the Stratux ADS-B receiver WiFi and streams the ADS-B data to the EFIS. You get everything on your panel that you would on Foreflight -- METARS, TAFS, NOTAMS, Radar and Traffic. I have completed beta testing and the unit works great.
Is there any interest in this?

Yes, there is.
I intend to use Stratux as the IN part of my RV-3B system, and have assumed it would show on an iPad. If I have the option of hardwiring it to an EFIS, that would be a good option for sure.
Keep the interface as generic as possible to make it easy for other EFIS companies to use it.

I'd be even more interested in just software to stream data directly out from a serial port from the Pi itself. Wifi to serial seems a little overkill (and another potential point of failure). Either way, though, I'd love to see a GDL-39 emulated data stream from a serial port. If you can send data in a format my Garmin 496 or its eventual replacement 696 or Aera 5xx could understand, I'd be very interested.
And check your PMs...

Hi Mark- I'm very interested in an ADSB-IN solution that would feed my AFS EFIS via serial hardline input. I'm not sure if the GRT data stream is different from what the AFS EFIS requires. Navworx offers the only COTS solution available right now in their ADS-600 EXP for $1300. The EFIS is a lot easier to see in the cockpit than the IPAD. Would be cool to have the same data stream over wifi (or bluetooth?) feed the IPAD as a redundant display.

Noah,
AFS displays support the Dynon ADS-B IN receiver as well.
