The client 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 [http://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry PI] is sufficient. |
