Found this on EAA website https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/25 ... ceiver-kit Im getting one .

http://stratux.me/

No need to buy a pre-built box as its all available on amazon.

To make it even more fun, I've been building a little EFIS to use a 4" hat to the Pi
https://github.com/Bagarre/Pi2D2

It uses this screen

It functions but still in dev. It's a fun project.

...and if you want ADS-B out (for educational purposes only, of course), there are a number of projects that use this:

That is so neat. I may look at building one but with a slightly larger display. I wonder if touch screen capability is practical on smaller screens?

Anyone?

As Bagarre stated above, no need to buy the Kickstarter, just order the parts as listed from stratux.me and assemble he couple of parts.

I built one and use it with foreflight, works great. To clean things up you can get a 3D printed case designed for it, and another fellow is providing tweaked antennas tuned to 978 and 1090, although he original antennas do work fine. It's just a matter of where you choose to stop in the build, or how far you go. Things have evolved with smaller dongles now too, so the case can be smaller, so I may give mine to a buddy and build sometime.

Because I use the internal gps in my iPad mini I have not purchased the RY unit to provide external GPS and AHRS data, but they do not have AHRS figured out yet for use with foreflight. If and when they do I'll install that in a heartbeat, just for the backup capability.

Any inexpensive but legal ADS-B out options out there yet?
Four years left to go til the drop dead date but that'll go by pretty quick.

About $2k depending on options and equipment already installed: http://www.navworx.com/index.php

If Experimental, then $1.3k.

So really not too terrible considering the potential benefits, but I'm sure we would all like to see it lower.

The touch screen works pretty decent at that size. It's not much smaller than a Garmin Aera 510 or the Dynon D2. Right now, the only touch screen inputs are the Compass Heading bug, Altitude Bug and the Altimeter setting.
It uses an on chip altimeter so, no pressurized cabins

The initial idea (and reason for the 4" screen) was to make it an add on to the Stratux project.
In reality, the poor Pi is already running near capacity and adding Pi2D2 to the box begins to overwhelm it and you see lag in the screen. I'm working on it but most of the time, I load the screen on an ipad when developing.

I cant figure out how to post images at the moment , sorry. But if you click the link and scroll down, there are a few shots and a decent writeup of the thing.

Would love it if someone wanted to pitch in on the code. So far, it's just been me in my ample free time
