GDL 90 on XCSoar

I'm looking for people to test my translation script from GDL 90 to NMEA so that a Stratux (1090/978 dual band ADS-B in) can connect and display traffic on XCSoar. If there's interest I can post some instructions. You need some experience with configuring XCSoar devices and placing a file on the android from a computer via USB.

I got tired of waiting for XCSoar to natively accept GDL 90 and also Stratux to output NMEA. The script is written in python and runs on the android device connected to the Stratux wifi. I also added in some text to speech to announce traffic when it's near.

In addition, I'm looking to test with other GDL 90 ADS-B receivers. I'm especially curious on the "Foreflight required" devices like Scout/Sentry Mini/Sentry. If anyone has one I can borrow, I'll gladly pay shipping.

Is there any interest?


That might be fun, though I don't need the capability.

I can run XCSoar either on my Android phone or on a Dell Streak 5 and
carry them along on a flight in my gyro since that's where my Stratux is
mounted. If it turns out to be useful, I could try it in the glider
though my ClearNav already displays targets as seen by the Flarm.
