piGate – Raspberry-Pi Automatic Packet Reporting System

 

Thanks to Sunny for sending in his latest project, the Raspberry-Pi Automatic Packet Reporting System called the piGate.

“I present here, an implementation of an APRS iGate using the Raspberry-Pi. An APRS iGate is an Internet gateway that gates packets from the radio/RF side to the  APRS-IS on the Internet (and vice-versa). The APRS-IS is an Internet based network that connects APRS networks from all around the world and facilitates APRS applications (like realtime postion reporting of objects overlaid over google maps, see aprs.fi)”
