APRS Library for PHP

PHPAPRS

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., _(*1)

Installation

run composer require dbursem/phpaprs. Check http://getcomposer.org for more info on composer., _(*2)

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., _(*3)

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);
}
