Credit for this update goes to @b3nn0. Original forked release.
Stratux dev coffee fund.

Finally, a new Stratux release, just in time for Aero Friedrichshafen 2024!

This is a major release and requires re-flashing of the Micro SD card.
If you don't want to lose your settings, back up the "stratux.conf" file from your old SD card before flashing, and copy it back on it after flashing, and your settings will be restored on first boot.

Highlights

  • Fixed a bug in eu029-hotfix1, which would cause many aircraft received via OGN to be shows as helicopters
  • Support for BMP388/BMP390 pressure sensors by @oriagranat9 in b3nn0#248
  • Added support for uAvionix pingUSB / MavLink b3nn0#259 by @stefanux2 in b3nn0#261

Other noteworthy changes

  • The "my location" marker on the Map page will now auto-update to always show your current location, even when moving
  • Reverted back to GLONASS rather than BEIDOU on Ublox 8, as it seems to perform a lot better in sub-ideal conditions
  • Configure and use $GNGST sentence for GPS precision estimation on UBlox, rather than rolling our own guesswork
  • Switched to a new base image based on RaspiOS Bookworm, enabling experimental support for the RaspberryPi 5. Note: RPi5 builds are NOT RECOMMENDED due to its high power demands.
  • Minor fix to Wifi country selection by @zyv in b3nn0#260
  • Allow manual configuration of serial GPSs by @paony in b3nn0#266
  • Allow changing receiver gain for dump1090 via the web interface by @stefanux2 in b3nn0#275
  • Some minor improvements to the web interface by @stefanux2 in b3nn0#276

Known issues

  • Fan control is not supported on the Pi5. Use the builtin fan header/control.

Important note to those who build Stratux from source

  • Stratux now uses RaspiOS Bookworm. It will NOT run correctly on bullseye any more due to changes to the mount points in bookworm.
  • Please upgrade your OS before trying to run the latest source code.
