What would be cool would be if someone could have the traffic info stream out in NMEA instead of requiring Foreflight especially if it could output or the Raspberry Pi serial port so you could use a K6Mux to MUX the ADS-B UAT and TIS-B traffic into a normal glider display. Being able to overlay the FIS-B weather would be cool too. Yes I know that would require ADS-B out, but we may be required to do that in 2020 anyway.

How hard would that be?

You don't need ADS-B out to get FIS-B weather. Just line of sight to a UAT tower.

The Stratux software running on a Pi2 emulates a Stratus receiver that provides the same functionality. The data is shipped out in garmin GDL90 format via a wifi connection which lots of different aviation software and hardware platforms can display. Including free software that could run on your smart phone.

They are adding GPS and AHRS functionality to the software if you want to add those sensors like Stratus has, too. Its all open source so feel free to change what you want.
