Flarm Config File Parser/Interpreter?

I can do this - I just don't want to. Can't imagine how someone without an IT background makes sense of how their FLARM is configured.

I don't know if anyone has built a utility, other than what has been mentioned on this thread, so I took a look at the Flarm Configuration Specification today and agree that it is written by IT geeks for IT geeks...although I've seen worse! I did a little coding tonight and could probably provide something of interest for you in a few days time. Yes, I'm one of those IT geeks!

If interested in seeing what I come up with, when I get it, email me direct at alstonbk at gmail dot com.

Safe soaring!

I'm about 95% finished coding a nice iPhone based Powerflarm configurator.
My Flarmview had been giving me a message that said their was an issue with the config file and I finally tracked down the not so obvious detail on Sunday.

I need to do the storyboard for the iphone 5 screen size and then submit to Apple, so it's pretty close to being finished.

I had hoped to utilize the iXpand USB stick from SanDisk to go direct from iphone to PowerFlarm, but I'm not sure the PowerFlarm will play nice with the SanDisk USB. I need to test that again.

Plan B is iphone app to email to clubhouse computer to USB to PowerFlarm.

I've had good luck using the HooToo USB drive to transfer files from the PowerFLARM to iPhone.

And I would be very interested in the config utility as well.

What's an "iPhone"? :-)
