# Pi-StAPrS - Script for Pi-Star & APRS 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. 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. Some of this has been resurrected as a hotspot information display. I will update this spot when I get it's repository up.
