The client software uses the data available on the devices Data Port, just like any 3rd party product.

    12 The concept of the client software is quite simple. It reads the Data Port from a regular FLARM device (RS232 interface) and streams the data (via the HTTP protocol) to the server which does all computing. Since data streaming does not require much computing power, a mini-computer like the Raspberry PI is sufficient.

    14 ==== Hardware ====
    15 We use a [http://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry PI] in our pilot installation. This is a credit-card sized computer that is able to run a Debian-based operating system (Raspbian). The costs for a such a device are around 50$.
