See if the code in the aprs-passcode branch works for you.

@avryhof It does indeed work!
https://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=K2MTS-1
No configuration changes were necessary, I am only passing station_id
(as K2MTS-1
), latitude
, and longitude
.
Packets do not seem to post reliably; I'm not sure if that's a real issue or perhaps a built-in rate limit on the CWOP endpoint. I will keep an eye on it.
Thanks so much!
I'm not sure if it's a hard limit, or just a suggestion, but looking at http://www.wxqa.com/servers2use.html
So, I would recommend adhering to that as much as possible, just because it's in the docs, and I wouldn't want to run afoul of their server admins, and get banned for that reason.
I do have mine updating every 5 minutes. My script pulls the weather data from the API, dumps it into a Django model (sitting on top of Postgres) then sends it out to CWOP. If I had read that page in more detail previously, I might have set my limit for CWOP data to 10 minutes.
Hello,
Thanks for putting this library together!
I've tried modifying the code slightly to allow for sending a station callsign with an APRS SSID (e.g. K2MTS-1). The changes involve logging in to
rotate.aprs.net
(instead ofcwop.aprs.net
) with my callsign only (K2MTS) plus passcode, and using K2MTS-1 in the generated APRS packet. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. Oddly, if I connect to the APRS server directly and paste in the packet that the library generates, it works just fine:https://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=K2MTS-1

I haven't done a ton of troubleshooting, but I thought it might be worth asking in case there's something obviously wrong in my process that I might just not be aware of.
