Expert installation on a separate Pi Zero2 - TomBric/stratux-radar-display GitHub Wiki

Installation is only for expert users! To install the software perform the following steps:

  1. Connect your stratux to a network, e.g. by integrating into your WLAN: go to "Settings" and add your local wifi network. This will connect your stratux to your local wifi. Alternatively connect Stratux via network cable.

  2. Using Raspberry Pi Imager flash a "PiOS Lite" operating system on an SD card (32 GB cards recommended).

    • Use "Raspberry PiOS Lite (64 bit)". You can find it under "Raspberry PiOS Other" tab.
    • For Pi Zero 1 use "Raspberry PiOS (32bit)"
    • For settings: set the network to "stratux" and no password. Also enable ssh in settings with the user pi and set a password ("raspberry") if you like).

  3. Startup your Stratux and boot your new raspberry for the display. Connect your PC/workstation to the standard "stratux" wifi network and figure out the IP-address of your display-raspberry, e.g. by using "arp -a".

  4. From your workstation open a remote shell on the display-raspberry with the ip adress from step 3: ssh [email protected]. Password is the same that you set in step 2. Insert the following command lines into the bash shell:

sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd; sleep 2; sudo systemctl stop systemd-timesyncd
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install git -y
git clone https://github.com/TomBric/stratux-radar-display.git
sudo /bin/bash stratux-radar-display/image/configure_radar.sh
sudo reboot

This will take some time to finish.

  1. Open http://192.168.x.x/ in your browser. This is where the config interface is operating 10 minutes after reboot. You now can configure the display according to your needs (see screenshot below).

    • select the display that you are using
    • optionally: select the modes you would like to see on the display
    • optionally: select the additional devices or functions you would like to have
    • Press "Save and reboot" at the bottom of the page and you are done!

The display should come up and display stratux-radar. You can reconfigure your modes and other settings later on with the webconfiguration interface several minutes after a reboot.
