Connecting a Stratux to the MakerPlane EFIS
Vložit

- In this video, I demonstrate how to use AHRS information, published from a Stratux ADS-B receiver, to control an attitude indicator on the MakerPlane EFIS.
If you're not familiar, both the Stratux and the MakerPlane software are free to use and edit - they're both "open source" software packages.
Here's a link to a document with most of the commands I typed in case you prefer to copy/paste them:

Dan, that was huge! Thank you for being so generous and patient as you walked us through a number of topics. I'm thankful for the pause button, this is all new territory for me.
Oh, good. Glad it was helpful.
Great vid. Keep going!
Thanks for watching!
Hello Bro , I got stratux , but when I start pyEfis my background always Grey not Blue, and nothing not working, please Help
Thanks for your video, how can i change screen resolution in program from 800×480 to 800x600 ?
Dan, do you think the MakerPlane EFIS would be able to connect to a TruTrak Vizion and send flight plans from the EFIS to the Autopilot?
pyEFIS only displays flight and engine sensor information (at least from what I've been able to do). There's a separate mapping project that I haven't messed with at all.
It's open source software, so it's designed to be a starting point for someone who wants to customize it to their needs. The pyEFIS is a nice little display, but you have to get the data to it and that data needs to be in the format that it's expecting.
That said, pretty much anything is possible, but if you want something outside of the basic functionality, you'll need to write some code to make it work.
Dan, your videos and your response are so helpful. Thank you for your generous help.
Dan all work thanks, and where i can change [ hide back next ems units basic ] buttons size , its very bigs now
I don't think you can change the size of the buttons. The best you can do is move them to the bottom of the display and change the spacing between them. Here are the values you can change to do that:
button_spacing:
left_margin:
top_margin:
If you use a negative number for the button_spacing: property (for example -120) the buttons will line up in reverse order.
@dan_der_flieger yes i did so , thanks bro
Google just queued your video.. It's great. How do I get true airspeed? What provides the data?
Good question. I haven't dug into the code enough to know *_exactly_* how pyEFIS calculates it, but my best reasonable guess is that it uses sensor data like indicated airspeed, outside air temperature, and the altimeter setting to calculate it.
Having a hard time installing geomag without running a virtual environment. Should this be a problem?
I haven't had any issues with geomag. It's a pretty common library. Are you sure you've installed it with the correct version of pip (should be pip version 3) and are you sure you have Python version 3.x set as the default? It probably won't work if it's set to Python version 2 unless you specifically run it with v. 3 (python3 ./pyEfis).
@@dan_der_flieger I think it may be because of the 2.0 install. I got it running. Now i'm just trying to figure out how to make it work with my stratux.
Do you have some instructions or videos how build Stratux , thanks
I built my Stratux while I was doing my flight training 8 years ago. I don't know if things have changed, but here's a link to the project's website. It looks like it has a parts list and assembly instructions:

If that doesn't answer your questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best. 🙂
@dan_der_flieger Thanks a lot bro, and one more question what you think about can it work on asus tinker board 2 ,? Or raspberry pi3 only, and where can i get img or iso files for it Thanks
@@VVV-AVIATION If you can run a Raspbian image on a tinker board, it should work. The only question is if you add the AHRS chip, the pinouts will have to be the same and the GPIO mapping would need to be the same. I've never used a tinker board, so I can't say one way or the other. You'll also want a board that supports WiFi. In my case I usually use "FltPlan Go" as my EFB (free for Android and iOS). I can't remember if I connected the pyEFIS via WiFi or Ethernet, but I know for sure that WiFi works with a tablet or phone for testing.
As for RPi image, click this link and scroll down to the first "Assets" section. You'll want to download one of the stratux-v1...img.zip files. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two, but my best guess is that the one with "us" in the name is hosted on a server based in the US??

@dan_der_flieger i try build efis from your videos couple month and unlucky , but I hope 🙏 i can
Thanks for your video, how can i change screen resolution in program from 800×480 to 800x600 ?
At 16:53 in the video, I show how to get to the configuration file. In that file, near the top, you can change the size of the window. The two properties you want to change are:
- screenWidth: 800
- screenHeight: 480
Change the number after *screenHeight:* to whatever you want (600 in your case) save the file, then restart pyEFIS. That should be it.
@@dan_der_flieger i will, thanks a lot
@dan_der_flieger ill try change , but still nothing , change 800×600 then save yaml file but nothing- no any reactions
@@VVV-AVIATION which of the .yaml files are you changing? It's possible you're changing one that's not being used when you start up pyEFIS.
@dan_der_flieger i use same file what you use in video , home/pyEfis/pyefis/config/main.yaml
