Python Bindings for APRS.

Project description

Includes Python module with bindings for APRS as well as aprs_tracker command-line APRS location tracking utility.

Examples

Example 1: APRS Tracker

The following example uses the aprs_tracker command to connect to APRS-IS as W2GMD and send a single-shot location frame using location data from my locally connected USB (or USB->Serial) GPS:

Example 1 Code

$ aprs_tracker -c W2GMD -p 12345 -s /dev/cu.usbmodem1a1211 -u 3 -d

Example 1 Output

2015-09-25 15:04:55,930 INFO aprs.classes.connect:63 - Connected to server=rotate.aprs.net port=14580
2015-09-25 15:04:55,931 DEBUG aprs.cmd.tracker:113 - frame=W2GMD-3>APRS:!3745.78N/12225.14W>000/000/A=000175 APRS

See Also

See $ aprs_tracker -h for more information.

Example 2: Library Usage - Receive

The following example connects to APRS-IS as W2GMD (me!) and filters for APRS frames coming from my prefix (W2GMD, W2GMD-n, etc). Any frames returned are sent to my callback my_callback and printed.

Example 2 Code

import aprs

a = aprs.TCPAPRS('W2GMD', '12345')
a.start()
def p(x): print(x)
a.receive(callback=p)

Example 2 Output

W2GMD-6>APRX28,TCPIP*,qAC,APRSFI-I1:T#471,7.5,34.7,37.0,1.0,137.0,00000000

Example 3: Library Usage - Send

The following example connects to APRS-IS as W2GMD (me!) and sends an APRS frame.

Example 3 Code

import aprs

a = aprs.TCPAPRS('W2GMD', '12345')
a.start()
a.send('W2GMD>APRS:>Hello World!')
