#146 new enhancement

Distinguish between different start methods

Description

Based on the initial climb rate after take off, it is possible to determine between winch and aero-tow starts.
The climb rate can be extracted from Flarm-Datastream.
IMO this feature should run on the client side and only sent a start-message (containing the type of start) when start is detected.

Further information required:

  • Sample Flarm-Data sample of aero-tow and winch launch
  • Arduino code sample which provided this functionality.

Ohhh, don't think that is a good idea. At the time, I don't see any reason why we should do this and split logic between client and server. Instead client development should focus on on problems that the server cannot resolve, e.g. to provide a buffering/resume mechanism in order that the client can handle temporary connection failures.

We could still determine the start method, using the same heuristic on the server.
