# 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 **[piscrape - Hotspot Info Display For PHP](https://git.pickmy.org/dewdude/piscrape)**.
