Stratux first time set-up instructions

• Stratux 2 "Standard Stratux" is developed by an open source community.
• Stratux 2 "Standard Stratux" receives (RX):
  • ADS-L targets,
  • ADS-B targets,
  • OGN (Open Glider Network),
  • PAW (PilotAware),
  • Flying ad-hoc Networks (FANET) and
  • Flarm targets.
• This version of Stratux does not send your own position to others.
• contains AHRS sensor to support artificial horizon
• contains barometric pressure sensor to not rely on inaccurate GPS altitude
• Stratux will be delivered with 3 antennas, while 2 are in use at same time to receive ADS-B and (OGN) Flarm targets
  • The long antenna without any description (two rings at the antenna end) must be mounted on the left as it is optimized for Flarm’s 868MHz frequency (European version), US and Canada use the 978MHz antenna instead on the left.
  • The 2nd long antenna must be mounted on the right to receive ADS-B targets. This antenna has one ring at the end and a 1090MHz printing
• contains built-in GPS mouse but an option to connect an additional external GPS mouse.
• Since Raspberry PI/ Stratux does not contain a shutdown switch out of the box, we modified the device. Pressing the red switch for one second triggers the command to shut down Stratux safely
• An additional feature is the pre-installed OpenFlightMap Europe and/or VFR Sectional Charts US to be shown in the Stratux web interface. Those should be used for a quick overview only as maps are not updated on frequently basis.

  

• you can upgrade Stratux 2 by using a standalone OGN Flarm dongle to send your aircraft's position to others
• shutdown switch is deprecated since you can disconnect Stratux from the power supply without any damage of the device

• Stratux 3 "Classic Stratux" is developed by an open source community.
• Stratux 3 "Classic Stratux" receives (RX):
  • ADS-L targets,
  • ADS-B targets,
  • OGN (Open Glider Network),
  • PAW (PilotAware),
  • Flying ad-hoc Networks (FANET) and
  • Flarm targets.
• But also transmits (TX) its own location through:
  • ADS-L, and
  • Open Glider Tracking Protocol (OGNTP), and
  • Flying ad-hoc Networks (FANET), and
  • PilotAware (PAW), or
  • Flarm
• The “original” Stratux case does not have a connection for a suction cup holder, but can use either loop cable ties or a velcro strap to mount Stratux on top of the glare shield
• However, our 2.0 Edition of the Stratux 3 case is optimized and includes mounts for 4 suction cups to attach the Stratux e.g. vertically to a window.
• Material is 3D printed in PET-G.
• Stratux has 3 antennas to receive ADS-B and OGN Flarm
  • The long antenna without any description (two rings at the antenna end) must be mounted on the left as it is optimized for Flarm’s 868MHz frequency (European version), US and Canada use the 978MHz antenna on the left.
  • The 2nd long antenna must be mounted on the right to receive ADS-B targets. This antenna has one ring at the end and a 1090MHz printing.
  • The 3rd antenna is the smallest and must be mounted at the bottom, above the safe shutdown switch. It is designed to send Stratux’ own location to other OGN Flarm receivers.
• Stratux 3 contains a build-in GPS NEO M8N antenna
• contains AHRS sensor to support artificial horizon
• It is important that Stratux 3 (T-Beam/ T-Motion) contains a barometric pressure sensor (BMP280), otherwise you will send inaccurate GPS altitude
• Since Raspberry PI/ Stratux does not contain a shutdown switch out of the box, we modified the device. Pressing the red switch for one second triggers the command to shut down Stratux safely.
• An additional feature is the pre-installed OpenFlightMap Europe and/or VFR Sectional Charts US to be shown in the Stratux web interface. Those should be used for a quick overview only as maps are not updated on frequently basis.

Stratux (OGN) Flarm with external GPS antenna

• female SMA connector on the right: connect to external GPS mouse
• female SMA connector on the left: connect to an antenna for 868MHz (OGN) Flarm OUT

• Please note that we do not provide any warranty of the "default" version of  Stratux 3/ Classic Stratux if a "GPS no fix" problem occurs, as the standard built-in GPS antenna is very small.

will be released soon!

• 🆕 Advanced Dual Stratux is exclusively developed by Dross:Aviation:
• similar to Stratux 3 "Classic Stratux", but with major improvements and updates! Such as:
  • supports up to 2 transmitting units, to transmit (TX) multiple protocols at same time,
  • optimized antenna position for less noise and more gain,
  • smaller size of the case,
  • better thermal dissipation
• receives (RX):
  • ADS-L targets,
  • ADS-B targets,
  • OGN (Open Glider Network),
  • PAW (PilotAware),
  • Flying ad-hoc Networks (FANET) and
  • Flarm targets.
• But also transmits (TX) its own location through:
  • ADS-L, and
  • Open Glider Tracking Protocol (OGNTP), and
  • Flying ad-hoc Networks (FANET), and
  • PilotAware (PAW), and
  • Flarm
• this version of Stratux requires:
  • 2 GPS Antennas (dual GPS to enable better accuracy) - two GPS antennas are also available internally to reduce space (please select in dropdown during order process).
  • 2 TX antennas to send Flarm compatible signal, ADS-L, OGN, FANET and PAW
  • 2 RX antennas: The long antenna without any description (two rings at the antenna end) must be mounted on the left as it is optimized to receive ADS-L, OGN, FANET,PAW and Flarm on 868MHz frequency (European version), US and Canada use the 978MHz antenna on the left. The 2nd long antenna must be mounted on the right to receive ADS-B targets. This antenna has one ring at the end and a 1090MHz printing.
• Suction cup antenna mount available to a mobile version of Stratux
• the optimized case now supports a suction-cup for a more flexible and mobile solution of Stratux
• Stratux contains a build-in GPS NEO M8N antenna
• contains latest ICM-20948 AHRS sensor version to support artificial horizon
• An additional feature is the pre-installed OpenFlightMap Europe and/or VFR Sectional Charts US to be shown in the Stratux web interface. Those should be used for a quick overview only as maps are not updated on frequently basis.
