ABOUT NOAACAP
This software is written in python 3.4 and has been tested with aprx 2.9.x.
If you are running a version < 2.9.0 you should first update aprx. The current
release may be found at http://thelifeofkenneth.com/aprx/debs/.
Once you are running aprx >= 2.9, install noaacap:
Install via sudo dpkg -i noaacap-0.6.deb. Then, to satisfy the dependencies,
run sudo apt-get -f install.
CONFIGURATION
Add a beacon section similar to the following to /etc/aprx.conf:
<beacon>
beaconmode both
cycle-size 2m
beacon via WIDE2-1 \
srccall N0CALL-13 \
timeout 20 \
exec /usr/local/bin/noaacap.py
</beacon>
The timeout was needed on my older and slower single core Raspberry Pi Model B.
The aprx default timeout is 10 seconds and the timeout may not be needed on a
RPi 2 or newer. If you see lots of "BEACON EXEC abnormal close" messages in
aprx.log, then you likely need to add the timeout.
The program will check for a new alert or update every 2 minutes, but only
send if there is a change.
Edit /etc/noaacap.conf:
Do not remove the [noaacap] section header.
myTZ should be set to the Linux TZ value for the issuing office of your
preferred weather zone. For a complete list of timezones, you may use
the following command: timedatectl list-timezones | grep America.
myZone should be set to your county code. A list of county codes may be found
at https://alerts.weather.gov/. Only list one county. The program will then
send the alert for all affected zones. You could instead use a zone code if
you want to be more specific.
myResend should be set to 0 for no message resends or to an interval of your
choosing. If noaacap beacons every 2 minutes, a value of 30 would provide
hourly resends.
Logging values are 0 (quiet), 1 (informational), and 2 (debug). Logs are
written to the systemd journal.
USE
It would be good to hear from users of this software. Please email
k2dls@k2dls.net with the callsign-SSID of your APRS station that is sending
weather alerts via this program.
