This software is written in python 2.7 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-0.1.1.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 \
|
|
exec /usr/local/bin/noaacap.py
|
|
|
|
</beacon>
|
|
|
|
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 the zone number. A list of zones may be found at
|
|
https://alerts.weather.gov/. Only list one zone. You could use a county code
|
|
rather than a zone code if you wish.
|
|
|
|
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.
