pyefis

The MakerPlane Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS) is written in Python and called ‘pyEFIS’. It was created for use within Experimental-Amateur Built aircraft.

It uses the FiX Gateway plug-in to communicate to and from the CAN-FiX protocol to sensors and other instruments. pyEFIS can be installed on low-cost single board computers such as the Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone with many screen size options to fit different aircraft panel requirements. Resolution of the display is also a configuration option and is not a limitation within the software.

Installation guide: https://github.com/makerplane/pyEfis/blob/master/INSTALL.md

This snap requires enabling experimental.user-daemons features: sudo snap set system experimental.user-daemons=true

Breaking Changes: Ensure your fix gateway database.yaml file defines a db key named 'ZZLOADER', without this pyefis will not load.
