Good news, now there is a ready-to-go Stratux FLARM image available which potentially will be updated on a regular basis:

https://github.com/PepperJo/stratux/releases/tag/v1.4r5-flarm

Congratulations, TTS,

right at the first time I visit this forum I find a brand-new solution for open source FLARM application by chance!
Unfortunately I'm only an average SD user, and I would like to verify whether I got it right.
The configuration You describe has tuned the 978 MHz (US weather etc.) for Europe to FLARM frequency.
First question: Can other AC see me with this Stratux modification or can I only see their FLARM–signal on my unit? Is it ADS-B in and out?
Second question: I read the whole SD thread, but I am new to github. Means: the link
https://github.com/PepperJo/stratux/releases/tag/v1.4r5-flarm is cryptic to me.
I think I have to start with a Stratux unit according to stratux.me and modify this in a second step.
Could You please guide my mind towards this second step?
For other prospective builders too a little tutorial would surely be helpful, and the idea would be worth spreading.
I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks

Richard

Richard,

Answer 1: Stratux is not transmitting any signal, unlike PilotAware does. Therefore it is only FLARM in & ADS-B in.

Answer 2: You have to start based on a standard Stratux hardware and flash a microSD card with the above mentioned image file.

I will compile a litte tutorial over the next couple of days.

If you don't want to bother with this, I can offer a ready to run version for sale because I have already built a couple of devices for testing. I don't want to make a substantial business out of it (my bill of material per device was roughly € 150,-) but would sell it for € 299,- potentially through eBay. I am also working on a "premium" version with SuperF Antennas for € 349,-
