VAT - Vario All-In-One Take 2

My last post talked about building my own traffic alerting and avoidance and air-data from varios components.

Since then I stumbled on an amazing open source project that dramatically simplifies this plan.  It uses one off-the-shelf consumer Radio/GPS board to do all the traffic and it has pins I can program to accept the barometric, pressure and temperature sensor data.



The project is called SoftRF

Here are the components bought.  Total cost... $64.10

T-Beam ESP32 LoRa WiFi Module -915MHz

868M/900M/915Mhz Antenna Module Aerial

MS5611-01BA03 Barometeric Pressure sensor

MPXV7002DP  Differential Pressure  

So... I pulled the trigger!

With this I should get airspeed, altitude, total energy variometer, FLARM, ADS-B and OGN traffic advisery all on my XCSoar Phone/Tablet.  That's _HUGE_
