  1. Well this weekend I spent much of it hacking Python and ReactJS… teaching a PocketBeagle SBC some new tricks. These devices are being used in RFID terminals that take card reads from UHF RFID scanners, and transmit them back to base over APRS/AX.25.

    I added the ability to associate a tag EPC with a competitor number. Over WiFi, they now send that number to a Pimoroni Interstate75W using UDP multicast, to flash up on a RGB LED display.

    A ReactJS web interface allows for updating those associations, and observing status in real time. Also sending competitor numbers over packet by manual entry.

    I'm really pushing the limits of APRS: 60 characters is not a lot. I might be dusting off my 6LoWPAN over AX.25 ideas yet.

  6. I want to write an APRS bot from start to finish. I know how to connect to APRS-IS, I've even done it via telnet just to see what the traffic looks like on the wire.

    What's the approved way to test APRS-IS connections so as to not be mistaken for a threat actor and find oneself blocked? Some attempts will just fail or be malformed, etc.

  13. @hamradio Also giving Nymeria APRS a try. Looks super promising as well. If you have any other suggestions for more modern APRS clients, let me know!

  18. @hamradio Hello Fediverse! Been playing around with the #Retevis #Aliunce #HA2. Can anyone point me to resources or help with pairing it to a Linux device for packet/APRS?

    I haven’t been able to find much for this device, since the TNC was only added recently to the firmware.

  28. Fun start to a group build we are doing at our radio club BARC (barc.in/), this is based on the work already done by SP3KON using an #esp32 CYD. Has some useful things to such as band conditions, APRS, HAM Alerts, POTA Spots, etc. Needs a bit more work to get it useful in the field, which is where I operate.

  33. @hamradio This looks like a super cool project for a more modern APRS Client.

    Has anyone played around with the beta or have any thoughts about it?
