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.
