An APRS parser for Python
Project description
Introduction
The intention of the module is to provide a way to decode and encode various different types of APRS packets.
Currently supports:-
Decoding - Standard compressed/uncompressed location packets (PositionPacket) - Mic-E location packets (MICEPacket) - Message packets (MessagePacket) - Status report packets (StatusPacket)
Encoding - Compressed/uncompressed locations - PHG/DFS/RNG values
Note that encoding entire packets is planned, but not yet supported.
Usage
Brief usage explanation:
>>> from aprspy import APRS >>> packet = APRS.parse('XX1XX>APRS,TCPIP*,qAC,FOURTH:=5030.50N/10020.30W$221/000/A=005Test packet') >>> packet <PositionPacket: XX1XX> >>> packet.latitude 50.508333 >>> packet.longitude -100.338333 >>> packet.course 221
