Happy holidays to everyone out there!

 

Greetings, and happy holidays (whichever one you choose at this time of year).

And thank you for using my program YAAC and making it useful around the world.

Re: How to add a path to the default message paths?

 

Hi, Dan.

You want to add your additional path in the expert-mode Configuration dialog (File->Configure->Expert Mode) on the Digipeat tab. That's where the default list of digipeat paths is managed.

Hope that helps.

When I send a message, occasionally I want to send it with a path that includes NOGATE .

I have added the custom path in a couple places but it still does not show in the message path drop down.

Hi Andrew,
No worries. Please let us all know when it’s available.

next beta build#181 of YAAC, created 2022-Nov-27

 

next beta build#181 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2022-Nov-27

downloadable from
or

changes and updates include:
1. fix reported NullPointerExceptions when attempting to transmit
or processed delayed text message ack or rej messages.
2. better identify the types of traffic incoming from a specific
PortConnector instance to ensure non-realtime traffic does not
get digipeated or I-gated.
3. add support for plugins to register handling non-GNSS NMEA-0183
sentences, so a multi-sensor NMEA-0183 talker can be handled by
the plugins.
4. optimize file reading for OSM files some more.
5. fix some bugs in configuration XML importer.
6. add the ability to configurably route traffic to known stations
through only the port the station was most closely seen through.
7. don't plot labels on OpenStreetMap pipeline Ways, and don't
display anything tagged as underground (not yet saved in OSM
importers.
8. augment the APRS-IS pseudo server plugin to allow connected
sub-clients to forward APRS packets to the YAAC instance, and
have YAAC configurably forward that traffic on through the regular
ports (RF and APRS-IS backbone).
9. fix repeater finder plugin to use more accurate traffic sourcing
changes.
10. add new marineports plugin which provides the ability to read
NMEA-0183 GPS data through a TCP connection to a network server
sending the raw sentences.

Thank you so much!
I look forward to seeing it come to fruition.

Re: i want to send weather data(nmea2000) from signalk to YAAC

 

OK, I have an initial draft of a NMEA-0183 over TCP/IP port driver plugin for YAAC that I expect to release with the next build of YAAC. Don't have the SignalK REST support yet, but I could add that in a future version of the plugin should NMEA0183 over TCP not be enough.

Hi White Mane,
The NMEA data YAAC wants is on your RPi’s port 10110. That’s if in SignalK you’ve enabled the ‘Convert SignalK to NMEA0183’ plugin and configured the RMC sentence for output.

But YAAC needs to support IP datastream ports in addition to physical serial ports for that to work Perhaps it does, but I haven’t managed to find how to configure one yet.
Cheers,
Mike.

Gday,
SignalK accepts data from NMEA0183 or NMEA2000 sources via appropriate hardware interfaces (eg Actisense NGT-1 for NMEA2000). It then makes the data available to apps in an ‘internet friendly’ format. Or one can have it output NMEA2000 data as a NMEA0183 IP datastream.

It would be nice if YAAC was able to accept NMEA0183 TCP datastreams on IP ports. I’d certainly use it and I’m sure many other sailors would too. And that doesn’t mean they all need SignalK since most modern onboard networks have a WiFi hotspot which emits a NMEA0183 TCP datastream.

Nope. There is no support for NMEA 2000 bus interfaces in YAAC, and since the NMEA is so tight-lipped as to not make their specification freely public (as opposed to NDA after you pay US$2000 to see it), I don't expect to see direct support for it any time soon.

As for interfacing to a SignalK gateway to an NMEA2000 bus, never heard of it before. Looks interesting (as a source for both GPS and weather data), but I'd have to see how much interest there is in it before spending time coding up a plugin to add a YAAC port for it.

Re: Chasing Balloons/Radiosondes

 

Actually, since the Auto_rx app can push data into APRS-IS, it could also push data into the latest enhancement of YAAC's aprsispseudoserver (a plugin implementing a "fake" APRS-IS server for downstream clients to connect to so they can share the RF connection of YAAC). Alas, I haven't made the latest enhancement to this plugin available yet, so I'd better get it posted.

YAAC does not have a navigation capability, but it can forward received data to an external GPS with screen and serial port that supports waypoint sentences ($GPWPT).

Re: Chasing Balloons/Radiosondes

 

Use the Chasemapper app in conjunction with radiosonde autorx, the sondes used to be reported to APRS, but it caused to much network traffic. Go look thru the autorx site and the group messages, you'll see the reasons there. Chasemapper app works very well, it gives you a predicted landing site that is very good.

I'm thinking about getting into a new aspect of things. Not specifically
ham radio but adapted to and from it. The airport a few miles away
launches weather balloons twice a day which carries a radiosonde that
broadcasts on around 403 MHz. I'm putting together some receiver
packages for the house and the mobile to receive and decode these
things. They provide weather as well as position data. They show up on
.

I'm planning on using the Auto-Rx package for the purpose. What I'd like
is for it to display as an item on my YAAC display. In the house, on the
big screen I can watch them and, if I see something viable, hop in the
truck and track it in the mobile and maybe find the device when it lands.

So, this leads to a few questions.

Is anyone familiar with Auto-RX and interfacing it to YAAC?
Is it possible to navigate to an APRS item shown in YAAC, or do I just
watch the screen and head for it?

Any other suggestions or tips for this project?

Thanks.

Yaac beta 180 RF port shuts down trying to beacon

 

It works just fine (Direwolf 1.7a) then tries to beacon and claims that it can't find port 8000 anymore.
