The board will communicate with the official GRAWMET software using this approach. Reverse engineering of the port's protocol is underway, however it is believed to use a similar, if not the same protocol the DFM-09(prior generation) uses. A document partially covering this protocol can be found [https://githubwww.comgraw.de/nickoeproducts/dfm09_hackingradiosondes/blob/master/fingersps-welt15/fingersPS-welt15] uses.txt here]
== Hardware modifications ==
[[File:Modified DFM-17 Radiosonde.jpg|thumb|332x332px|MrARM's modified DFM-17 with a SWD connector and a SMA antenna.]]
The DFM-17 has solder pads for an SMA port and a SWD header.
An [https://adafru.it/4048 Adafruit Skinny SWD SMT] connector and a generic SMA connected was used in the photo.
