From the backer:\r\n\r\n> I would like to use FlightBox to output NMEA formatted traffic data to the Raspberry Pi serial port so I can use it with glider flight computers, like the LX Nav LX 9000 and the Naviter Oudie. They both look for traffic data in the Flarm data port NMEA format I believe.  There seem to be some Python programs available to convert to NMEA output but none output to the serial port to my knowledge.\r\n\r\nI'm not personally familiar with FLARM, but from a quick google search it appears that the data format is public, while the actual radio system is highly proprietary. Anyone have any experience with it?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/cyoung/stratux/issues/comments/179917378","html_url":"https://github.com/cyoung/stratux/issues/218#issuecomment-179917378","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/cyoung/stratux/issues/218","id":179917378,"user":{"login":"ASW27B","id":8769091,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8769091?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B","html_url":"https://github.com/ASW27B","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ASW27B/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-04T16:02:30Z","updated_at":"2016-02-04T16:02:30Z","body":"@cyoung - I was planning on using FlightBox when it comes out, but since this is moving along I just ordered the components to build a basic ADS-B hardware unit. I'm not at all familiar with RPi or much of a programmer (very little since grad school - long ago) so I'll need to see how much of a struggle it is to get up and running. Hopefully not too bad. I also need to figure out the level shifter to get serial out (component recommendations welcome - I ordered one from Adafruit). Also, wouldn't I need the serial output enabled to actually test the code with my display? "}}
