-[attachment:Flarmradar_GS6.png The concept] of the client is quite simple to understand. The client reads the Data Port from any regular FLARM device (RS232 interface) and streams the data (via the HTTP protocol) to the server. Per day at least 70MB are up and downloaded by the Flarmradar. Since data streaming does not require much computing power, a mini-computer like the [http://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry PI] is sufficient. This is a credit-card sized computer that is able to run a Linux operating system (Raspbian) at negligible cost (50$ or so). For standalone installations with a local Flarmradar-Server, the client can be installed alternatively on the same computer where the Flarmradar-Server is installed.

Our [wiki:FAQ FAQ] might also have answers to that come up while installing and launching your Flarmradar Ground Station.
