All credit for this update goes to B3enn0 https://github.com/b3nn0/stratux/releases/tag/v1.6r1-eu028

Mostly a maintenance and bugfix release.
Due to the underlying OS change, however, there are no update.sh files for OTA updates available, and a re-flash of the Micro SD is required.

Features

  • It is now possible to turn off the LoRa/OGN transmission capabilities of ogn-rx-eu, freeing up the PI's GPIO pins to be used for something else (e.g. TomBric's radar display)

  • There is now also an OGNTracker binary with SX1262 support, in case you have a SX1262 based T-Beam

  • If persistent logging is enabled (or the Stratux not yet rebooted), it is now possible to search for an aircraft that was previously received via OGN, for potential search&rescue purposes. To do so, you have to visit the OGN status page on port 8082.

Bug Fixes

  • Shutdown/reboot from the web interface now actually trigger a shutdown/reboot, instead of sync&powercycle

  • The "GDL90 bearingless target circle emulation" would also prevent bearingless targets being sent via NMEA if disabled. This has been fixed to now only affect GDL90 bearingless targets.

  • Hopefully a bit more robust "AP+Client" mode, thanks to @mpotthoff - but still experimental/unstable due to hardware/firmware constraints of the PI

Under the Hood

  • Switched to new/stable RaspiOS aarch64 base image, adding experimental support for the Pi Zero 2W

  • Added rudimentary support for vector tile archives (mbtiles) to the integrated map - but not really usable for large maps due to theming

  • Switched to new esp32-ogn-tracker base for new Random ID handling

  • Updated dump1090

Noteworthy News

SafeSky

The developers of the "SafeSky" app have worked tirelessly to integrate well with Stratux. It is now possible to connect SafeSky with Stratux to create a unified GDL90 Stream for EFBs (e.g. SkyDemon), resulting in the best of both worlds:

  • Low latency and offline capabilities from Stratux

  • Mode-S/Mlat Position estimation, very high reception range and reception of even more traffic from SafeSky.

Garmin Pilot

Garmin has recently introduced support for Stratux in their "Garmin Pilot" app, and it seems to work fairly well.
