Pre-release
  • RTL-SDR code improved. Single dongle can be assigned to UAT or 1090ES. needs testing
  • Don't set a default route - shows "connected" faster on iOS.
  • Interface improvements/fixes.

  • Fixed RPi lockup issue that required some users to hard-reset the device.
  • Automatically set time when GPS is connected.
  • Misc. stability improvements.
  • Web interface improvements - AHRS testing display and bug fixes.
  • 1090MHz only mode (978MHz only is still default - change in settings).
  • Configurable 978MHz tuner (advanced).

To permanently set one tuner to be preferred for 978MHz, connect only that tuner (no others), log in and do the following as root:

 rtl_eeprom -d 0 -s stratux:978

New:

  • Traffic, weather, and improved settings in web interface.
  • Replay log on/off (warning: use this only for troubleshooting - it can fill up your memory card).
  • Stratux/FlyQ integration improvements (if you use FlyQ, see #61 - you still need a custom config).
  • NIC/NACp reporting based on RY835AI state.
  • ModeS Ownship - configurable (via stratux.conf) for ADS-B Out aircraft.
  • FF Ownship issue addressed - incorrect altitude on app shown when pressure altitude not available.

Features in previous beta releases moved to stable:

  • RTL-SDR integration - restart if dongle is disconnected. Detect dongle issues and log.
  • RY835AI GPS serial via GPIO pins (or USB - autodetects).
  • Fixed misc web interface bugs.
  • Added configurable PPM setting on web interface.
  • Added "kal" SDR calibration tool to release image (see: https://github.com/steve-m/kalibrate-rtl).
  • Fixed TIS-B traffic track calculation error.
  • Improved EFB "sleep" code - should detect when any EFBs is not available and queues messages.
  • Improved network code - fixes some Pi lockup issues.
  • Auto configure RY835AI GPS over serial port.
  • UAT signal strength logging.
  • /var/log/stratux.log - added periodic status updates (CPU temp, GPS info, etc.).
  • Improved queue/memory management.

  • Started on uatparse library for improved reporting (future web interface features).
  • Fixed misc web interface bugs.

The beta release (just as v0.3b1) has replay logging enabled by default.

Beta release - RTL-SDR integration.

Pre-release
  • RTL-SDR integration - restart if dongle is disconnected. Detect dongle issues and log.
  • Message types summary in web interface (beta).
  • Replay logs (enabled for this beta release). See http://192.168.10.1/logs/

The RTL-SDR integration has given better stability in tests.

This beta release has "replay logs" enabled, meaning that all UAT and ES messages are stored on the SD card. The standard SD card should hold at least 4 hours of logs, but be aware that it could fill it up. It is advised that you resize the main partition to fit the SD card (first option on the blue screen on first boot).

If you'd like to report an issue, it would be great if you could pull the following two logs and attach them to the report/request.
http://192.168.10.1/logs/stratux-uat.log and http://192.168.10.1/logs/stratux-es.log

TIS-B improvements. Data replay. Web interface improvements.

  • 1090ES on/off toggle - working now.
  • Interface improvements.
  • Data replay - stops sending data when app is not in foreground or iPad screen is off. Buffers data and sends it when app is in the foreground and screen is on again.
  • Callsign / tail number for TIS-B traffic.
