Hi Jim, The info you need is in the OZFLARM installation manual.
There are 2 sockets on the back of the Flarm. When viewed from the rear the
left socket (CHG/DATA/NPS)gives NMEA out on pin 3, this does not include FLARM
data. The right hand socket (Power/Data) transmits flarm data on pin 5 and
recieves data on pin 6. & and 8 are earth.
I have not used winpilot but the FLARM data is displayed by XCSoar, so I
presume winpilot is also ablke to do so.
If Winpilot cannot display FLAQRM data it may not be able to use the Power/data
output.
Looking at the rear of Flarm the pins number form *RIGHT TO LEFT*, the IGC in
its "wisdom" used the opposite numbering to the ethernet standard.
I strongly recommend you download the manual mentioned.
