So the files need to come out of the folder they get unzipped to??
Also I believe the names of the files are slightly different, ending in 25 before the extension, does that matter?? I will try this later today if I need to move the field from YAAC/tiledir/mz30** to just have the files themselves in the YAAC/tiledir?

Mike,

If you have downloaded and unzipped the NWS files correctly, these 12 files should be in the tiledir (along with any other ones you have separately downloaded for OpenStreetMap or USGS terrain data):

c_10nv20.dbf
c_10nv20.prj
c_10nv20.shp
c_10nv20.shx
mz30mr21.dbf
mz30mr21.prj
mz30mr21.shp
mz30mr21.shx
z_08se21.dbf
z_08se21.prj
z_08se21.shp
z_08se21.shx

The first 4 are the U.S. county files (not the county warning areas), the next 4 are the coastal and marine zones, and the last 4 are the public forecast zones.

I will be updating YAAC's built-in help files to more precisely identify the data sets to download from the US NWS website.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I need a little help with YAAC. I am trying to get the shape files for NWS alerts installed but every time I try to view severe alerts I get a "There are no DBF files containing forecast zone definitions. Download them and unzip into your YAAC tiledir"

I have downloaded and unzipped the zone, warning area, and coastal shape files and extracted them all into the tiledir file folder and there error persists.

What did I miss.

Thanks,
Mike NZ4K

Re: severe weather zones

 

I am having an issue too, but it is the following message when I select view -> severe weather zones :
?
There are no DBF files containing forecast zone definitions. Download them from https://www.weather.gov/gis/AWIPSShapefFiles and unzip them into your configured YAAC tile directory, then it lists my directory.
I did download and unzip all 3 files, county, zone, and marine into the tiledir.?
?
What did I miss??

Are these private Objects, or shared ones being transmitted over RF?

Subject: Re: [yaac-users] Possible Bug Importing Objects

I updated to 9-April-2025 and noticed a few more things concerning imported objects.

Imported objects can be clicked again from the main map and comments appear when clicked.

The comments do not appear In the station list (ctrl+s). Also, after choosing one of the objects in the station list, clicking on "Edit Object" does not bring up the dialog. Nothing happens after clicking the edit button.

This is on a Mint 22 machine.

Re: Direwolf M1 Mac

 

Andrew,
?
Direwolf needed an update and some changes to get it to work on an ARM M1 Mac. I also updated the Silicon Labs driver. ?I ran into two problems to get it working. ?First, you need Homebrew to get some dependencies loaded. ?Second, there is a fork in direwolf that adds digirig support. I am running Direwolf on my Mac and sending the data to you via an AGWPE port connecting to Direwolf and a Digirig to the radio. ?PTT and beaconing have been working for a while, but then PTT stops. ?Then, when I hit PTT, nothing transmits. I am testing, but it's looking like the link between the direwolf and YAAC. ?If I check Direwolf, it says the link stopped. If I restart Direwolf and YAAC, the link restarts, and PTT starts working. ?I would like to know where you suggest I look for what's breaking the link. ?
?
I would like to digipeat, and that is not working either.?

In a terminal window, type:

brew --version

If that works and returns a current version, then you should be able to install direwolf with:

sudo brew install direwolf


(caveat here, I use MacPorts not HomeBrew so not 100% familiar wth it)

It’s worth installing it via MacPorts or Homebrew rather than trying to grab all the dependencies yourself. Since you have xcode installed, MacPorts or Homebrew is simple to install.

Re: Direwolf M1 Mac

 

Use the Direwolf author's directions before you jump on some random person's notes (which may be out-of-date, like the APRS webpages that still say to use RELAY and WIDE as digipeat aliases [directions that have been obsolete for 20 years]).

Andrew,

Thinking about this in greater detail I may not need an audio codec. I am using a digirig and It has the codec so I am off to install Dierwolf. I was following because I am much better at compiling and installing software on linux than the Mac.

I am thinking of moving from my Raspberry Pi to a Mac for the bike event this fall, and testing on the Mac mini would prove it would work.

Thank you for your help.

Re: Direwolf M1 Mac

 

"compiler errors" isn't very descriptive. Can you provide the actual text of the error messages? Also, are they really errors, or only warnings? It's impossible to write platform-portable C++ code without getting some warnings, given how strict the compiler is.

Also, if you are having pulseaudio-related errors, did you install pulseaudio (can't imagine why you would on a Mac) and its related development package (include header files and the like)? Have you read the Mac-specific documentation in the direwolf source distro?

I have used the USB serial cable for radio programming with the FTM-400 and FTM-500 to provide APRS data to YAAC for several years. ?My setup is for monitoring APRS and Winlink email as well. ?This is why I have a digirig attached to the radio. ?I did not want to switch cables to go from Winlink to APRS. ?
