Weather Beaconing Problem

[Wojtek Jakieła]

Hello.

Today i'm build my fist small RX-Gate on APRX Software.

It's work's excellent (SQ8W-10 on APRS.FI).

But i have a problem with beaconing a WX data.

On RPi i have (automatically updated) /var/tmp/aprx_wx.txt:

@100024z4919.44N/02127.56E_000/000g000t061r000p000P000h96b09689 

In aprx.conf i have beacons:

<beacon>

  cycle-size 30m

  beacon object "SQ8W-10" \

symbol "R&" lat "4932.41N" lon "02145.93E" \

         comment "RX-Gate Test"

</beacon>

<beacon>

  cycle-size 5m

  beacon srccall SQ8W-11 file /var/tmp/aprx_ws.txt

</beacon>

First beacon work's excellent but second beacon don't work.

Please help me :)

Try

<beacon>

  cycle-size 5m

  beacon srccall SQ8W-11 file \

var/tmp/aprx_ws.txt

</beacon>

Is your aprs_ws.txt readable  ?  Otherwhole chmod +x /var/tmp/aprx_ws.txt might help. And I believe that you should not beacon more than once every 20 minutes.

Good luck

Hello. Thanks for information.

Unfortunatly it's still not work.

My beacon now:

<beacon>

  cycle-size 20m

  beacon srccall SQ8W-11 file \

var/tmp/aprx_ws.txt

</beacon>

I'm tried chmod +x /var/tmp/aprx_ws.txt too. Still the same :(

[Erik Schott]

Try this one first. 

<beacon>

  cycle-size 20m

  beacon wide-2 file \

var/tmp/aprx_ws.txt

</beacon>

Then you know if the weatherdata is sent.

This is a copy of the beacon part of my iGate PI1TWE-2 comparible with you.

I have in every beacon: "beaconmode       both”,  which you dont’ have.

Maybe adding that helps.

<beacon> 

    cycle-size           20m
    beaconmode           both
    beacon        interface $mycall \
                         via WIDE2-1 \
                         symbol "L#" $myloc \
                         comment "PHG24003/Igate & Digipeater Metaalstad Hengelo ** APRX 2.8.0 **"
</beacon>


<beacon>
    cycle-size           60m
    beaconmode       both
    beacon               via WIDE2-1 \
                         file /usr/local/scripts/uptime.txt
</beacon>

The file  /usr/local/scripts/uptime.txt is readable for aprx. 
So if I do cat  /usr/local/scripts/uptime.txt. i get an output and no error

You would then have to use:

<beacon> 

    cycle-size           20m
    beaconmode           both
    beacon         interface $mycall \
                         via WIDE2-1 \
                         symbol "L#" $myloc \

                         comment "RX-Gate Test"
</beacon>


<beacon>
    cycle-size           20m

    beaconmode        both
    beacon               via WIDE2-1 \
                         file var/tmp/aprx_ws.txt
</beacon>


Good luck, I will load your file in my igate to seee where it goes wrong. I can copy the string you have shown as weatherdata.
