<p>The <strong>Settings</strong> page provides both control and configuration of your Stratux device.</p>
<p>Use the toggles in the <strong>Hardware</strong> section to control which devices are active.</p>
<p class="text-warning">NOTE: Only hardware toggled on here, will appear on the
<strong>Status</strong> page.</p>
<p>
The <strong>WiFi</strong> section allows the user to change various WiFi Settings:
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>WiFi SSID</dt><dd>The name of your Stratux Network.
You might want to change this to match your A/C Tail Number (ex: Stratux-N12345).</dd>
<dt>Network Security</dt><dd>This switch will turn your wireless security <b>On</b> or <b>Off</b>.</dd>
<dt>WiFi Passphrase</dt><dd>When Security is turned on this will be the password for your network.</dd>
<dt>WiFi Channel</dt><dd>Changing the WiFi Channel can improve the wireless signal if in a congested WiFi area.</dd>
</dl>
</p>
<p>The <strong>Diagnostics</strong> section helps with debugging and communicating with the Stratux project contributors
via GitHub and the reddit subgroup.</p>
<ul class="list-simple">
<li>Toggling <strong>Traffic Source</strong> adds text for traffic targets within your navigation application.
Traffic received via UAT will display <code>u</code>
while traffic received via 1090 will display <code>e</code>.</li>
<li>Toggling <strong>Record Logs</strong> 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 <strong>Logs</strong> menu available on the left.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>AHRS</strong> section allows for calibration and future configuration of the AHRS function.
<strong>Calibrate AHRS Sensors</strong> guides initial setup of the AHRS function,
specifying the orientation of the sensors relative to the airplane.
Additional calibration may be added later.</p>
<p>The calibration process determines which sensor direction will be forward.
You only have to do this once. The settings for this sensor will be saved for future flights.</p>
<p>The direction of gravity is used to determine the forward orientation.</p>
<p>GLoad Limits allows the user to set which limits will show on the G Meter on the GPS/AHRS page.
Enter a space-separated list of G limits, e.g. "-1.76 4.4".</p>
<p>The <strong>Configuration</strong> section lets you adjust the default operation of your Stratux device.</p>
<ul class="list-simple">
<li>To avoid having your own aircraft appear as traffic, and scare the bejeezus our of you,
you may provide your <strong>Mode S code</strong>.
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 valid Mode S value.
</li>
<li>The <strong>Weather</strong> page uses a user-defined <strong>Watch List</strong> 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 <code>KBOS EEN LAH LKP</code>.
You may change this list at any time and the <strong>Weather</strong> page will start watching for the
updated list immediately.
<br/>
<span class="text-warning">NOTE: To save your changes, you must either tap somewhere else on the page
or hit <code>ENTER</code> or <code>RETURN</code> or <code>GO</code>
(or whatever your keyboard indicates).</span>
</li>
<li>The SDR (software defined radio) receiver support an adjustment in the form of a
<strong>PPM Correction</strong>. From the Raspberry Pi, you may use the command
<code>kal -g 48 -s GSM850</code> to scan for available channels in your area.
Then use the command <code>kal -g 48 -c <em>channel#</em></code> to calculate the PPM.
<br/>
<span class="text-warning">NOTE: You will need to perform all commands as <code>root</code>
by issuing the command: <code>sudo su -</code>.
You will need to stop the Stratux software before running the calibration process.
You can stop all of the Stratux processes with the command: <code>pkill screen</code>.</span>
</li>
<li>Additional settings will be added in future releases.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>System</strong> section lets you safely shutdown or reboot your Stratux device.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shutdown</strong> will immediately shutdown the Stratux. You may then safely remove power.</li>
<li><strong>Reboot</strong> will immediately reboot the Stratux.
After the reboot you may have to rejoin the WiFi connection to reconnect.</li>
</ul>
