Put them together, very easy-just plug together- and then downloaded the software. Got the disk image file for the micro SD card (stratux-v0.5b2-e6ad9aa830-12212015) from the zip file download. Used Win32DiskImager to copy it to the SD card then put the SD card in my Raspberry Pi computer and fired it up. I was expecting it to be configured as an ADS-B receiver already to receive broadcasts and connect to my ipad with Foreflight but the monitor connected to the Raspberry Pi shows a screen that asks for basic configuration information. Some of the item seem straightforward but don't know what to answer for others. (Screenshot attached) Has anyone already gone through the setup? Could use some help at this point.

The config for the ads-b is through a web browser but it should already be setup with some usable defaults "out of the box". -Dj ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:10:29 AM PST US From: P Reid Subject: Re: RV10-List: Merry Christmas - Boxing day suggestion Albert I am using stratux on iflightplanner and fltplan.go In both cases the config was done via choosing ADS-B and picking "clarity" or port 4000 if I did it manually on fltplanGO. I've done 192.168.10.1 for configs. Never see the screen you attached. No traffic on fltplanGO but visible on iflightplanner.

While the monitor connected to the Raspberry Pi still showed the configuration message, I joined the Stratux network with my ipad. Then I started foreflight just to see what it looked like and I had the freeflight message with 0 towers. I carried the whole setup outside and saw some traffic symbols on the display. Never picked up any towers but I already expected you couldn't while on the ground. So I guess you don't have to really do anything after you load the SD card. Great. Now I need to find out how to attach a GPS unit to my Stratux box. Thanks for the help. Albert ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:23:54 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Merry Christmas - Boxing day suggestion From: Linn Walters Hi Albert! There's no reason (or capability, I think) to attach the GPS to the Stratux. It is a 'receive only' box. Since you're using foreflight, the GPS in your iPAD does all it's ever going to do .... tell Foreflight where you are. I'm using the Stratux to connect to Avare on an Android tablet. I had been able to see traffic right away. Last week I learned (second hand) that ADS-B seems to be altitude dependent for what information you see transmitted from the ADS-B site which, for me, is KMLB. I don't fly in crappy weather so haven't been able to see any on my tablet while on the ground ..... even within range of the transmitter. The 'friend of a friend' says he doesn't get weather until over 1800'. I don't have any info to prove/disprove that observation, but it does point to a possible reason why I don't see any weather displayed while on the ground.

Hi Albert, Adding a GPS is very easy if you use the one they recommend. You can simply plug it in with a USB cable if all you want is the GPS and time info, otherwise if you can use a soldering iron you can easily hook it up to the RPi pins and get a simple AHRS too.
