Changed the subject!!!

       

       Thanks for the links!  As I read it, the Pi GPS is only needed if       your device does not have one.  Not a problem for most folks.

       I took the receiver cases off, used a piece of credit card as a       separator and used one top half and one lower half .... and used       metal tape to keep them together.  Leave enough 'open area' for       the heat to escape.

       

       I've been in electronics all my working life and I wouldn't think       of soldering wires to the 40 pin connector.  

       You can get a short cable at Amazon http://tinyurl.com/q4kqwn2 and       cut off the male connector.

Put them together,                     very easy-just plug                     together- and then downloaded the software. Got the                     disk image file for the                     micro SD card (stratux-v0.5b2-e6ad9aa830-12212015)                     from the zip file                     download. Used Win32DiskImager to copy it to the SD                     card then put the SD                     card in my Raspberry Pi computer and fired it up.                                          I was expecting it to be configured as an ADS-B                     receiver already to receive                     broadcasts and connect to my ipad with Foreflight                     but the monitor connected                     to the Raspberry Pi shows a screen that asks for                     basic configuration                     information. Some of the item seem straightforward                     but don't know what to                     answer for others. (Screenshot attached)                                          Has anyone already gone through the setup? Could use                     some help at this                     point.

Well, here is the finished product except for a custom case to put it all in. So far I'm just using the plastic case the Pi came with. I'm trying it out using a splitter and 1 antenna. The big black rectangular object is a battery so it will be portable. The 4 USB hubs are very close together and the radios are too large to fit in them side-by-side so you will need the short M/F USB cables to get them away from the Pi. This was by far one of the  simplest projects I've ever done and now I'm ordering a GPS to add since my ipad doesn't have one built in.

Thanks for all the help from the list. You are worth your weight in gold.

Found this nice beginners guide for the Stratux:



https://github.com/ssokol/stratux/wiki/Stratux-Beginner's-Guide



Also the pinouts for the GPS to RPi connection:



https://www.reddit.com/r/stratux/comments/3mf8xg/ry835ai_gps_connections_nonusb/



Here are some options for 3D printed cases.  I printed the yellow one in 

the upper right, and it worked out well.

And a good broker service for 3D print shops:
