The Settings page provides both control and configuration of your Stratux device.
Use the toggles in the Hardware section to control which devices are active.
NOTE: Only hardware toggled on here, will appear on the
Status page.
The Diagnostics section helps with debugging and communicating with the Stratux project contributors via GitHub and the reddit subgroup.
- Toggling Traffic Source adds text for traffic targets within your navigation application. Traffic received via UAT will display
u
while traffic received via 1090 will display e
.
- Toggling Record Logs enables logging to a series of files for your Stratux device including data recorded for UAT traffic and weather, 1090 traffic, GPS messages, and AHRS messages. The log files are accessible from the Logs menu available on the left.
The Configuration section lets you adjust the default operation of your Stratux device.
- To avoid having your own aircraft appear as traffic, and scare the bejeezus our of you, you may provide your Mode S code. You can find this value in the FAA N-Number Registry for your aircraft. You should use the hexadecimal value (not the octal value) for this setting. No validation is done so please ensure you enter your valide Mode S value.
- The Weather page uses a user-defined Watch List to filter the large volume of ADS-B weather messages for display. Define a list of identifiers (airport, VOR, etc) separated by a spaces. For example
KBOS EEN LAH LKP
. You may change this list at any time and the Weather page will start watching for the updated list immediately.
NOTE: To save your changes, you must either tap somehwere else on the page or hit ENTER
or RETURN
or GO
(or whatever your keyboard indicates).
- The SDR (software defined radio) receiver support an adjustment in the form of a PPM Correction. From the Raspberry Pi, you may use the command
kal -g 48 -s GSM850
to scan for available channels in your area. Then use the command kal -g 48 -c channel#
to calculate the PPM.
NOTE: You will need to perform all commands as root
by issuing the command: sudo su -
. You will need to stop the Stratux software before running the calibration process. You can stop all of the Stratux processes with the command: pkill screen
.
- Addiitonal settings will be added in future releases.
The System section lets you safely shutdown or reboot your Stratux device.
- Shutdown will immediately shutdown the Stratux. You may then safely remove power.
- Reboot will immediately reboot the Stratux. After the reboot you may have to rejoin the WiFi connection to reconnect.
