Hi everyone.
I have been able to complete my Stratux with flarm setup.
H‌ave not been able to test the Flarm receiving yet as the snow here in Norway have put a damper on glider flying but logs indicate that it works.
I‌ ended up copy/paste the item list form stratux.me to ebay and order everything from there.
3‌D printed my own case as I was not happy with the one offered, I made my own remix of this one:  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1707442

I‌ will sit down and make a step by step guide to what I did and post it here in a few days.
My confusion in the start was the MPU9250+BMP280 sensor. I read some old posts from before or as this was released that confused me. It took me some time to understand that

a‌s for weather, I find using 3/4G to be more than good enough where I fly, the easiest way to keep your 3g connection while connected to the Stratux wifi is to switch form DHCP to Static IP on your mobile device and remove the Gateway address.
Tested this on both iphone and ipad.

Hi all.
After doing the above, to get the Stratux working with flarm based on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/stratux/comments/6pa2nj/flarm_receiver_functionality/
I‌ did the following after loading the Stratux image on the SD card and starting the Pi:

//Log in using SSH over wifiHotSpot or HDMI/Keyboard
sudo raspi-config
//expand file system and reboot
‌
//Log in using SSH over wifiHotSpot or HDMI/Keyboard
sudo ifup eth0
‌
//Log in using SSH to eth0 IP address
sudo su
systemctl start ntp
service stratux stop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libconfig9
sudo apt-get install libjpeg8
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /root -xzf go1.9.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
cd /root/stratux
export PATH=/root/go/bin:${PATH}
export GOROOT=/root/go 
export GOPATH=/root/go_path
cd /
rm -Rf /root/stratux
cd && git clone https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi.git && cd WiringPi/wiringPi && make static && make install-static
cd && git clone https://github.com/0x74-0x62/stratux.git && cd stratux && git checkout remotes/origin/devel/flarm_receiver && make && make install
//Long Wait
service stratux start

//Finnish

Just one note: the current FLARM executable produces an (ignorable) error message with a blinking green LED. The developer is already working on it.

Quick question, have you replaced the 978 mhz antenna or are you using the one that came with the Stratux kit?

I replaced it with the following:

‌‌https://www.amazon.de/dp/B072BMBXMH/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3RORSKO1YA0UV&colid=3GGSQDSNIAKZP&psc=0
‌
‌I am still wondering why no one is installing a recommended ground plane, see here:

‌

According to Dan Murray, the benefit of the ground plane is negligible, compared to the potential risk of short-circuiting the Pi board.

‌

G‌ot to ask just to be sure as English is not my native language:
D‌o you mean that the ground plane help prevent short-circuiting or increases the risk of short-circuiting?‌

From what I understand, those antennas are end fed dipoles and, therefore, don't need a ground plane. You can attach them directly to an ADSB dongle and no other hardware is required.

Hi all.
So obviously i also want to use Stratux to connect with my Skydemon.

I‌ am a little bit lost after reading all the forum content.
Should i be fine when i order (List from Stratux.me) :

- Raspberry Pi 3 Motherboard.
- Pre-programmed SD card with Stratux software.
- Stratux 1090ES & UAT - Radios and High Gain Antennas.
- Stratux Case with Fan, White ABS.
- Slim battery with cable.
- GPYes/internal
- Stratux AHRS Sensors and Fan Controller / Raspberry Pi MPU9250+BMP280.

I live in the Netherlands and i would love to see as traffic as the weather.‌
Are there any montly/yearly payments requested to keep the system online?

Btw. i use my Samsung Galaxy S8+ with Skydemon/

Thanks in advance!

C‌heers,
Kevin Wolters‌
