- This code is a fork of Dan Smith's dantracker @ https://github.com/kk7ds/dantracker.
- Some of the differences between this code (n7nix) and the kk7ds code are:
- Display runs in a browser using node.js & websockets
- kk7ds displays using GTK+
- Adds APRS messaging
- Adds shutdown reset control from the app.
- Display runs in a browser using node.js & websockets
- The server part can run on an RPi (kk7ds can as well)
- The client part can run on any browser on the network
- After installing to your Linux machine (Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone or Workstation)
- Open a browser in any computer/phone/pad/tv with this url:
# local to server
localhost:8081/tracker.html
# On a remote computer
your_RPi_IP_Address:8081/tracker.html
# example
10.0.42.131:8081/tracker.html
- Config file lives here:
- /etc/tracker/aprs_tracker.ini
- Verify [station] mycall
- When running with no GPS or GPS cannot lock sufficient sats set [gps] type=static
