You should probably mention that for a Raspberry Pi you might need to install the virtual environment: sudo apt-get install virtualenv Thank you for the video!
Very cool! I was driving around the Coloma valley on Saturday playing with APRS. Today I was checking what repeaters I had been hitting and GTOWN was on there. Wanted to know more about who was running a digi in Georgetown and surprise surprise you have a youtube channel!
Everything went perfect until I got to step 3 :-) By chance I came back to this video and noticed Ron Kline's comment below. It seems to have solved my problem (error msg that virtualenv command not found). Thanks Ron!
Great work! Thanks for taking the time to write and maintain the code and make an easy to follow video presentation on it. Keep up the great work. Tom EI5IEB
Success! I made a plugin s2sbot running on km6bjk-1. It responds with info about the last 1 hour of spots from SotaWatch. I definitely have some improvements to make.
w00t! I just hit it --- "KM6LYW-6 :SP6F/P on SP/BS-023:7.1295SSB|SP6F/P on SP/BS-023:7.155SSB|SP6F/P o{3" great work! Keep in mind the character limit of an aprs packet too.. leaves about 67 or so for a message payload.
Way cool! I came across APRSD searching around google and GitHub and thought it may be to complex to use. This video is an very friendly approach to this! Can this be run in a digipeater instead of using the internet? Nothing wrong with APRS+Internet or igates I just like the whole offline use if APRS when possible.
Hi Marc, great question. At this time it needs a connection to the APRSIS backend, which, of course, requires internets. It's an interesting requirement however. I bet we could watch the direwolf log on a radio and look for things sent to aprsd, then respond accordingly. cool idea!
Hi Marc, I started working on using direwolf tcp KISS socket to get APRS packets, and have been able to send test APRS packets to direwolf. So it's possible. I might add this to aprsd in the near future. I'm just not sure how useful it will be with the current list of plugins that require some form of internet to fetch data as part of the arps reply.
@@WalterBoring awesome to hear and you are correct that so many sources utilize internet connectivity. I am hopeful that there maybe others out there that want to work on projects that do no require this like myself. Regardless this project is very helpful and a driving factored for myself to want to learn more about packet, APRS and linux.
@@streets814 I could imagine a plugin that pulls from a weewx weather station directly connected to the host running aprsd to serve up weather reports.
@@WalterBoring one additional question. Could a service be run on/in an APRS group where multiple users could interact with a service or is this restricted to one to one messages?
How do you create a contact with an SSID? I got the software running on a pi, I'm just trying to figure out the radio end now. I have an Anytone 878, if that matters. Thank you sir! Larry - KJ7RGY
Outstanding! Thanks for taking the time to write the code and sharing the video!
I would be curious to know what wheels are spinning in Jason's head after watching this. LOL 73 W6EBD
I remember when APRSd come out. Many years ago. I am glad to see it's out there.

Thank you for the video!
I believe this solved my problem (error msg that virtualenv command not found). Thanks Ron!

W00t! El Dorado county radio!
This was a eye opening video

Fido alive
Thank you for sharing this will get the wheels turning.
awesome.
