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

  1. For preparing an Micro SD for your pi, download raspberry pi imager from raspberry.com (download link). Make sure to have Pi Imager version 2.0 or newer.

  2. Configure Pi imager by specifying "App Options" and then "Custom URL".

    Use the following URL (make sure you add no additional characters by copy and paste) and push "APPLY & RESTART"

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TomBric/stratux-radar-display/main/pi-imager/repo.json

  3. Now select the pi hardware you want to flash. Pi Imager will give present the applicable images. Continue and then use the following settings
    - set a hostname e.g. "radar" and set an applicable localisation
    - set pi as username and choose a password (e.g."raspberry" or whatever you can remember). Keeping pi as user is required!
    - customize Wifi: select "OPEN NETWORK", enter "stratux"
    - optional: enable ssh, if you want to login later
    You can also configure a secure network. In this case make sure you configure this as well in your stratux settings.

    Write the image to the card.

  4. Insert the SD into your raspberry and let it boot. Since the display is not yet configured, there will be no reaction visible on the display.

  5. Connect to your stratux web interface with your PC, tablet or mobile by - selecting wifi of your stratux (default is "stratux" with no password) - opening http://192.168.10.1 in your browser

  6. Select the "Logs" tab, and open the "stratux.log"

  7. Go to the end of the stratux.log and look for "client connected 192.168.10.xx:4000 (radar)". xx is the last byte of the actual IP, probably 20 or 23

  8. Open http://192.168.10.xx in your browser. This is the port where the config interface is operating 10 minutes after reboot.

  9. 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

  10. 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.
