## 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. It's also been a few years since I tried to even run it in
|
|
|
|
|
it's current state. I plan on making use of it soon; so it will likely see re-
|
|
|
|
|
writes. In fact the method of scraping has changed entirely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I also lost the php that handled the activation.
