+Then plug in the Sub-D plug into the plug socket of the RS232 Communication Board. Also connect micro-usb cable with the Raspberry's power supply socket. Finally connect the 3 cables with GND (black), +12V (red) and +5V (yellow) with your power supply.
+
+Then turn on the power supply. You should see the Raspberrys LEDs light up, indicating that the 5V power supply is working correctly.
+
+Connect now the communication cable with the Flarm device. You should also see that the device starts the boot sequence.
+
+Finally connect the Raspberry to the network.
+
+==== Establish communication between Flarm and Raspberry ====
+
+1. Log on the Raspberry (as user 'pi') and install required dependencies
+
+
+{{{
+$ sudo apt-get update && apt-get install zip dnsutils libwww-perl libdevice-serialport-perl minicom
+}}}
+
+  
+2. Connect the Flarm to the Raspberry and start minicom
+  -> $ sudo minicom
+
+3. Configure communication settings for minicom (tty, baud rate, etc.). Save the 
+  configuration file. Once the configuration is correct and the Flarm Device is
+  turned on, you must be able to see live position data when you start minicom:
+
+$ sudo minicom
