Hello 
I have set up Digipi with WeeWx, master.zip and aprs-send-weather.sh
I plan to use a prototype digipi with direwolf, digipi, weewx and all that on one pi. Thank fine. 

When I initialize the digipi I plan to use KJ4ZZb-3 with all my credentials and such that also fine. 

However for aprs-send-weather

# User serviceable parts:

USER="WD5EMA-3"

PASS="237141”

DIREWOLFHOSTNAME=localhost


Is this allowed or must the digipi credentials and the "aprs-send-weather" credentials match?


Thus far in my journey 


At this point data is flowing from the Echowitt sensor -> to the Ecowitt WS 3900 console via the house Wi Fi -> to a WeeWx data base -> via the APRS extension to /dev/shm _. And this is where we should find APRS packets with weather information 

 

root@digipi:/home/pi# cd /dev/shm

root@digipi:/dev/shm# ls

aprs.pkt

root@digipi:/dev/shm# more aprs.pkt

/112045z3310.99N/08416.09W_.../000g000t079r000h60b10186


So I am slowly making progress. 


Thanks

Hi Scott,

I have this working on another Pi.

Your passcode is 23714  not 237141

and yes, it must be correct for it to be upladed to aprs.fi, not required for the RF send.
