This page describes the most convenient method for setting up a Flarmradar Ground Station. This is the component that reads out the flarm device and streams the data it to the Flarmradar Server.
Construction Guide
Before you start
While the ground station can be built in short time, consider that it takes a considerable amount of time for finding a good spot on the airfield. A direct line of sight to the entire runway and the open sky are optimal conditions to achieve a good result.
Prerequisites:
- a Flarm device, equipped with the latest Firmware (at least 5.09 from 2013/03/01)
- a working internet connection from the place where ground station is installed
