Subject: [aprssig] Xastir for stand alone WX reporting on Linux
I want to install a Linux machine in a remote (unattended) location,
connect it to a Peet Bros. Ultimeter 2000, and send WX data on the APRS
network for storing in findu via the Internet, not RF. I am currently using
RF, http://w9if.net/cgi-bin/torreywx/wx.pl but prefer an Internet
connection.
Xastir should do it, but it seems overkill for this application.
Alternative solutions appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Rich, W9IF

Many users have burned this disk with no problem.
Are you sure you have burned a good disk?
* This disk is a MIXED MODE disk that combines CD-ROM data and audio
CD tracks.
* This is not a normal CD_ROM.
* This is not a normal audio CD.
It is a combination of the two. When you place this disk in a computer CD
drive, you will (or should) only see the CD-ROM data part of the disk.
*The audio tracks will NOT show, and will NOT automatically start playing.*
Go to the Windows 2000 Start menu and do Start -- Programs -- Accessories
-- Entertainment, and select the "CD Player" applet (Not the Media Player).
You will get an on-screen display that looks like a car stereo CD player
with start, stop and track select buttons and a volume control. Use this
software "device" to play the audio tracks.
In a non-computer audio player such as a boombox or DiskMan (or a CD-ROM
drive being used stand-alone outside of a computer), the drive may
mistakenly see the first (data) track as a defective unplayable audio track
and do nothing. If so, use the track selector button to jump to the next
(first actual audio) track.
Note that the single file "CDplayer.exe" located in the SYSTEM32 folder
underneath the main Windows directory on Windows 2000 systems plays this
disk very nicely, but is not present on WinXP systems. This utility works
perfectly on Win XP systems to simplify the playback of this disk.
This file is a stand-alone .EXE that doesn't need any installation,
supporting DLL files or registry entries to run -- just copy the file from
\winnt\system32 on a Win 2K system to any convenient place on an XP
system, and then double-click it to run.

I use Open2300. It's setup for the LaCross WX Station, but you may be able
to use the code as a sample for constructing the WX packet and sending it
directly to an APRS-IS server.

You might look at Weather Display
http://www.weather-display.com/index.php.
It may be more program than you are after, but there is a Linux version, can
send APRS formatted data directly to the internet and it works with the Peet
Bros Ultimeter 2000.

I want to send the WX data to APRS-IS. I believe Weather Display sends it
to its own server. Let me know if I am wrong about that.
thanks,

No, it can send data to multiple locations. One of them is the CWOP system
or APRS-IS.
My experience is with the Windows version, but I would expect the Linux
version would be the same.

Subject: [aprssig] Aircraft tracking load test please
Gudday.
I have plane positions dumping into a table and then a cgi web site delivers
up planes to google earth on demand.
What I need is a load test please.
Can as many people follow this link and set your refresh as fast as you
like.
1) Run google earth
2) Add a network link with http://vk4tec.no-ip.org/cgi-bin/adsb_data.cgi as
the address
3) Up the refresh rate to what ever you want.
The planes are over Brisbane Australia.
