Gathers GPS and Pi-Star Info to beacon to APRS-IS as location & comment

## About
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This script was originally written a couple of years ago to do two things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- gather & parse GPS information for an APRS packet
|
|
|
|
|
- scrape Pi-Star for Talkgroup/Reflector for APRS comment
|
|
|
|
|
- blast those to APRS-IS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The scripts were originally written to run directly on the RPi running Pi-Star;
|
|
|
|
|
scraping the information locally and getting GPS from another Pi running
|
|
|
|
|
gpsd. A simple PHP interface was hacked together to turn the beacon on
|
|
|
|
|
and off. The entire thing was just permanently set as an every 5-minute
|
|
|
|
|
cronjob.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pi-Star has some sort of GPS stuff built-in to it; but I couldn't figure out
|
|
|
|
|
how to make it work. This has been updated for the new scraping method.
|
|
|
|
|
I also lost the php that handled the activation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of this has been resurrected as **[piscrape - Hotspot Info Display For PHP](https://git.pickmy.org/nq4t/piscrape)**.
|
|
|
|
|
The original PiStaprs page is offline. I saved most of the data but need to convert it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have not run this script in quite some time. I developed it to be as future-proof as possible and to my knowledge, most of the
|
|
|
|
|
stuff still works. Scraping techniques need to be imported from PiScrape. Your milage may vary. Not responsible for any damage
|
|
|
|
|
to your hotspot installation. Please do not flood APRS-IS with garbage from this script.
