feature request: transmitting objects #165

Open steffenspies opened 2 weeks ago

steffenspies commented 2 weeks ago

APRS can send objects. Like position of clubstation, repeaters and others and informing about opening hours or similar.

This could be a useful feature for the iGate.

richonguzman commented 2 weeks ago

Can you explain a little more about the request?

send objects, how, when, why (hahaha)

PS: this is only to make clear the request , as there are more ways to also send objects (with others programs, and firmwares too)

Refer to Chapter 11 / Page 57 in this document. http://www.aprs.org/doc/APRS101.PDF

And to give you an example in this example: OZ2DIJ-2 is sending the items like clubstation OZ5ESB, positions and informations of the local relays, etc. image

richonguzman commented 2 weeks ago

so the goal is to add relays / VHF/UHF repeaters and stations position objects?

to maybe add a menu to add them in Web Configurator?

steffenspies commented 2 weeks ago

Exactly. Local points of interests. Symbol, Name, Position, Message, TX interval

richonguzman commented 2 weeks ago

nice idea , now I get the hole idea!

but!

can you remember me this next week? I'm on trying the web installer for tracker and I paused all other firmwares update to get this done

steffenspies commented 2 weeks ago
