Stratux is an open-source ADS-B weather and traffic receiver built on a Raspberry Pi with RTL-SDR dongles, serving aviation data to electronic flight bag apps like ForeFlight and FltPlan Go. This cyoung repository is the deprecated original branch; active development has moved to the b3nn0/stratux fork.

Use cases

  • receive ADS-B weather and traffic in the cockpit
  • build a DIY ADS-B receiver with Raspberry Pi and RTL-SDR
  • feed weather and traffic to ForeFlight or other EFB apps
  • add GPS and AHRS attitude data to a homebuilt avionics setup
  • track aircraft traffic with a low-cost software-defined radio

When to choose

  • you want a low-cost open-source ADS-B receiver for general aviation
  • you need an EFB-compatible weather/traffic feed without subscription fees
  • you enjoy building your own avionics hardware on a Raspberry Pi

When to avoid

  • you want the actively maintained version - use b3nn0/stratux instead
  • you need certified or guaranteed-reliable aviation equipment
  • you expect support or issue tracking on this deprecated branch
