1. Connect your SoftRF unit with an USB cable to your Raspberry Pi based ADS-B receiver ;

2. Make sure that USB connection is established and cp210x driver has been attached:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dmesg | grep ttyUSB
    [86899.192314] usb 1-1.5.3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
    pi@raspberrypi:~ $

3. Set up connection baud rate onto 38400:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 38400
    pi@raspberrypi:~ $

4. Test that the SoftRF unit is feeding data of aerial traffic nearby :

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ head -4 /dev/ttyUSB0
    *8ED99C19580D1157E108842F7152;
    *8ED99C19580D14B88CD1F4AF478B;
    *8ED99C19093C7139E43C797557AD;
    *8ED99C19990001067004008ACCE1;
    pi@raspberrypi:~ $

5. Check if dump1090 is already up and running:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ps -a | grep dump1090
    13892 pts/2    00:00:08 dump1090
    pi@raspberrypi:~ $

If not - bring up your own one:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dump1090 --net-only --interactive
    Fri Dec 22 10:05:51 2017 UTC  dump1090-mutability  starting up.
    Net-only mode, no RTL device or file open.

6. Start feeding data to the dump1090 :

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /dev/ttyUSB0 | nc 127.0.0.1 30001

7. When everything is fine your dump1090 text UI should have a look like this:

8. Open up a web browser and go to your Raspberry Pi's IP and port number 8080:

UPDATE: Effective from January 2020, Stratux "Europe Edition" has native support for SoftRF Standalone, Prime Mark II and Dongle Editions. Default FLARM NMEA traffic data link is in use.

Since Sep 12th of 2018, Stratux has initial support for SoftRF as a companion device.
Make sure you are using most recent build of Stratux software. If not - please, update.

1. Connect your SoftRF unit with an USB cable to your Stratux ADS-B receiver ;

2. Make use of cp210x-program utility and alter your SoftRF built-in USB-to-Serial converter's "Product ID" string from default value onto the custom one: ¹

    root@raspberrypi:~# cp210x-program --write-cp210x -m 10C4:EA60 --set-product-string="DIY SoftRF"

¹ - It is not recommended to alter product ID string of TTGO T-Beam board because they use OTP (“One-Time Programmable”) CP2104 chip.

3. Disconnect your SoftRF from Stratux USB port, then re-connect ;

4. Open up the Stratux Settings web page in a browser and enable Ping ADS-B option:

5. Proceed into Traffic menu section and "Voila!":
