# aprsd
Amateur radio APRS client which listens for APRS messages and replies. This is essentially a way for you to send commands to your PC from your Amateur radio and have it respond with something interesting. Perhaps you could make a bot? Like WXBOT? It currently just replies with the current time.
Please change callsign and aprs password throughout code (not just at top).
Listen on amateur radio aprs-is network for messages and respond to them.
You must have an amateur radio callsign to use this software. Put your
callsign in the "USER" variable and update your aprs-is password in "PASS".
You must also have an imap email account available for polling.
Current messages this will respond to:
# APRS messages:
# t(ime) = respond with the current time
# f(ortune) = respond with a short fortune (requires fuzzyclock python module)
# -email_addr email text = send an email
# -2 = display the last 2 emails received
# anything else = respond with usage
#
# Meanwhile this code will monitor an imap mailbox and forward email
# to your BASECALLSIGN over the air.
There are additional parameters in the code (sorry), so be sure to set your
email server, and associated logins, passwords. search for "yourmaildomain",
"password". Search for "shortcuts" to setup email aliases as well.
Example usage:
