Requires

• php: >=5.3.0

GPLv3

• Matthew Asham
• David Ursem

• APRS

README

This is basically a fork of the phpAPRS library by Matthew Asham. All I did was some refactoring to get to know the code. The original readme, credits and license can be found in /doc.

Installation

run composer require dbursem/phpaprs. Check http://getcomposer.org for more info on composer.

Usage

There is an example APRS bot in the example directory. Your best chance to get things working is using this example and changing it as you like.

• Copy the example directory to your install directory
• Copy the aprsbot.cfg.php file to local.aprsbot.cfg.php and edit it with your personal settings.
• Set the filter to a valid APRS filter.
• Call the example aprsbot from the commandline with php aprsbot.php.

Minimal steps:

• Copy aprsbot.cfg.php to local.aprsbot.cfg.php and edit it with your required settings
• Make an aprs object

$aprs = new dbursem\phpaprs\APRS();

• Connect to the APRS host

if ($aprs->connect(HOST, PORT, MYCALL, PASSCODE, $filter) == FALSE) 
{
    die( "Connect failed\n");
}

• Create a loop to handle the input/output

while(1){
	$aprs->ioloop(5);
	// do stuff
	sleep(1);
}
