I wonder if they will ever be able to do this with ADS-B out? It would need to grab info from the altitude encoder or the Mode C? Could be a lower cost way to comply with the eventual space based ADS-B in the future.
I think it would be possible, but transmitting is a different ball game. I believe the FCC and Industry Canada require transmitters to be approved, so a do it yourself device might be difficult to get approve or test. Additionally I think even for experimental ADS-B out transponders, TC and the FAA still require some level of certification for the extended squawk capabilities for mode-c ES and mode S transponders. Rightfully so as other aircraft may rely on a reliable and correct signal for TCAS. I imagine even this device I built may have some bugs receiving. It's possible aircraft that are transmitting ADS-B out might not show on my map and I would not know. I have already seen examples of the GPS data being incorrect (I have later learned it was due to where I positioned it in the aircraft), so I would not consider it a trusted data source to transmit to other aircraft. But I would not be surprised if in the future we found someone who did the work and kept it open source.

Try using both hands!
Were you ever able to get the ahrs working?
Not yet. But maybe in a few months I will give it a shot. I might want the sensor to write up something to record the flight data.
Where do you get the required parts?
Amazon. The developer's website has a list at stratux.me
any free app with Brazilian maps?
Maybe flight plan go, but I'm not sure :(
Activate Windows...
Never! 😆
