Bpq32 MHeard Beacon

Posted on21 November 202424 November 2024AuthorPD9QLeave a comment

G7TAJ/GB7BEX is sending out a MHeard beacon. I thought that would be fun to try it to.
You can find out how Steve GT7TAJ did it here. https://github.com/TAj-src/BPQ-MHeardBeacon

I use for this the Docker from M0LTE. You can find it here. https://github.com/M0LTE/bpqapi?tab=readme-ov-file

#!/bin/bash
# Create a beacon file with the bpqapi.

# Not received any call after 24:00 uur (next day) So today-mh.json is empty [] exit program. If not empty extract callsign`s.
if cat "$work_dir/today-mh.json" | jq -e '. == []'
then
rm -f "$bc_dir/beacon.txt" && exit

awk ' /^ *$/ {print} !/^ *$/ {printf $0 " "} END {print ""}' "$work_dir/format.txt" > "$bc_dir/beacon.txt"

If you not have received any calll after 24:00 hour midnight on the hf bands the beacon.txt get deleted. You can do also some thing like this to send out a beacon.

# Not received any call after 24:00 uur (next day) So today-mh.json is empty [] exit program. If not empty extract callsign`s. 
if cat today-mh.json | jq -e '. == []' 
then 
  echo "PI1LAP-7 Node - PI8LAP BBS JO11VN" > "bc_dir/beacon.txt" && exit 
else 
  jq -r '.[] | .callSign' "$work_dir/today-mh.json" > "work_dir/format.txt" 
fi

Config BPQ32 to send out the beacon.

Beacon looks like this

16:45:41T PI1LAP-7>HF Port=1 :
Mheard: GB7BEX GB7BPQ GB7CNR GB7HIB-1 GB7HIB-7 GB7IOW GB7IOW-1 GB7NOT M7TAW M7TAW-3

Add a crontab every 10 minutes. (crontab -e)

Ok, Have Fun

MHSave and Python

Posted on6 May 20216 May 2021AuthorPD9QLeave a comment

Today I am playing with Python and Matplotlib. In BPQ32 you have the option to save the Most Heard list (MH) when you close BPQ32. This contains a lot of data that you can use. Above I made a plot of the received stations and the number of packets I received at 14.1022Mhz + 1000Hz at 300Baud. Now I am not a world programmer, so this could probably be easier or different. Below the script I have written and used.

#!/usr/bin/python3
import re, csv, zlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

#First get the data form the right port. 14.1022Mhz 300 Baud HF Packet

port4 = []

with open("MHSave.txt") as f:
        found_port4 = False

        for line in f:
                if line.startswith("Port:4"):

                        found_port4 = True

                if found_port4:
                        if line.startswith("Port:5"):
                                break
                        else:
                                mod_string = line.replace('||', '')
                                mod_strings = re.sub("via.*$", "", mod_string)
                                port4.append(mod_strings.rstrip('\n'))

with open('port4.txt', 'w') as fout:
        fout.writelines("\n".join(port4[1:]))

#print("\n".join(port4))

# Convert it to a csv file
with open('port4.txt', 'r') as in_file:
    lines = in_file.read().splitlines()
    stripped = [line.replace(","," ").split() for line in lines]
    grouped = zip(*[stripped]*1)
    with open('port4.csv', 'w') as out_file:
        writer = csv.writer(out_file)
        writer.writerow(('Epoch', 'Pack-rev', 'Call', 'Month', 'Day', 'Time'))
        for group in grouped:
            writer.writerows(group) 

# Matplotlib create a nice Plot of the received calls

filename = 'port4.csv'
with open(filename) as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    header_row = next(reader)

    #Get Packets and Calls received
    packs, calls = [], []
    for row in reader:
        pack = int(row[1])
        call = str(row[2])
        packs.append(pack)
        calls.append(call)

x = np.arange(len(calls))

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.barh(x, packs, align='center')
ax.set_title("Call and Packets received on PI1LAP")
ax.set_xlabel('Received Packets')
ax.set_ylabel('Station Callsigns')
ax.set_xticks(packs, minor=True)
ax.set_yticks(x)
ax.set_yticklabels(calls)

Bpq32 with QtSoundModem and Hamlib

Posted on5 April 20215 April 2021AuthorPD9QLeave a comment

Yesterday I added 2 HF ports to my Bpq32 Node / BBS. I have chosen to use QtSoundModem and Hamlib. QtSoundModem is a Linux port or Soundmodem from UZ7HO. I use Hamlib/rigctld to take control of the Tranceiver. QtSoundmodem and Hamlib run on a different Raspberry than the BBS and Node.

After some testing I found out that I need Hamlib version 3.3 to control the icom 7300. The versions 4.0 and 4.1 do not work for me. Apparently the icom 7300 is not being initialized. Can’t actually find out why this is. With the command “rigctld -l” you get a list of which tranceivers are supported.

So I need number 373 for the Icom 7300.

/usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 373 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 19200 -T 44.137.31.76 -t 4532 &

In the QtSoundModem.ini I have in the [Init] section.

HamLibHost=44.137.31.76
HamLibPort=4532
PTT=HAMLIB
PTTBAUD=19200
PTTMode=17

Now the bpq32.cfg

PORT
 PORTNUM=4
 ID=14.1022 +1100Hz
 DRIVER=UZ7HO
 CHANNEL=A
 PACLEN=80
 CONFIG
  ADDR 44.137.31.76 8101 ; AGW port of QtSoundModem
  BEACONAFTERSESSION
  MAXSESSIONS=5
ENDPORT

PORT
 PORTNUM=5
 ID=14.1022 +2000Hz

 PACLEN=80
 CONFIG
  ADDR 44.137.31.76 8101 ; AGW port of QtSoundModem
  BEACONAFTERSESSION
  MAXSESSIONS=5
ENDPORT

With Hamlib it is also possible to control the TRX from Bpq32. I immediately added a Robust 300 packet port to Bpq32 with rig control. Here is an example.

PORT
 PORTNUM=3
 ID=Robust 300 ;(RPR Packet)

Aprs Weather Beacon

Posted on9 February 202126 December 2022AuthorPD9Q2 Comments

Today I’ve been messing around with an APRS weather beacon. Now Direwolf and Linbpq and Jnos can send an aprs weather beacon. It turns out that this is quite precise, with the format of the beacon.

#!/bin/bash
# The weather beacon have to look like this....

# h61 - humidity 61% (00 = 100%)
# b10153 - barometric pressure in tenths of a MILLIBAR - 1015.3 MILLIBARS

My weather station uploads its data to wunderground.com. Now wunderground has the option to read this again with an api key.

https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=IKORTG9&format=json&units=m&apiKey=yourApiKey

You can read here how and what.

After a lot of messing around with a bash script, I am able to create the correct format.

TEMP=-4.9°C Temperature degrees Celsius
WPK=29.4km/h Wind speed in Kilometers per hour
WGK=39km/h Wind guts in Kilometers per hour
GRD=58° Wind direction in degrees
RAIN=0mm Rain in the last hour in mm
RAIN24=0.42065mm Rain in the last 24 hour in mm
RAIN12=0.214mm Rain in the last 12 hour in mm
HUM=74% Humidity in procent

FAH=023F Temperature degrees Fahrenheit
WPM=018mph Wind speed in miles per hour
WGM=024mph Wind guts in miles per hour
RNI=000inch Rain in the last hour in inches
RNI=001inch Rain in the last 24 hour in inches
RNI=000inch Rain in the last 12 hour in inches

The file I need to broadcast an APRS Weahter Beacon looks like this.

pd9q@pancake:~/linbpq/wx-project $ cat ~/linbpq/current.txt
Feb 09 2021 13:00
086/004g008t028r000p000P000h75b10007

The config file for Linbpq looks like this, this is in the aprs section of bpq32.cfg

WXCall=PD9Q-7
WXFileName=/home/pd9q/linbpq/current.txt
WXComment=/Weather Station JO11VN
WXPortList=1,5,IS        ; comma separated list 
WXInterval=10            ; mins

For Jnos in the autoexec.nos in the aprs section

aprs wx call PD9Q-7
aprs wx stat "Weather Station JO11VN"
aprs wx pos "5133.52N/00348.15E_METEO
aprs wx data "/home/pd9q/jnos/wx/current.txt"

For direwolf in the file direwolf.conf

PBEACON LAT=51^33.52N LONG=03^48.15E SYMBOL=”weather station” COMMENTCMD=”tail -1 /home/pd9q/linbpq/current.txt”

Direwolf Aprs packet look like this.

Learned a lot.

Bpq32 Log options

Posted on24 October 2018AuthorPD9QLeave a comment

John G8BPQ has made it possible to move the log dir of linbpq and pilinbpq. Nice

I’ve uploaded versions of linbpq and pilinbpq to my beta download site
that allow you to move the log directory. Start with a command line
parameter of logdir=directory, eg

../pilinbpq logdir=/dev/shm

You can download the new version here.

LinBPQ Applications Interface.

Posted on21 October 201819 March 2020AuthorPD9Q6 Comments

LinBPQ has a facility to make a tcp connection from the node to an application running on the same machine. This was originally intended to connect to a shell to enable basic configuration editing, but has been generalised to allow connects to other tcp ports, thus allowing you to write your own applications to be used with LinBPQ.

Edit
Henk, pointed out that there was something missing in this story. Nowadays we mainly work with Systemd in the newer version of Linux. So the inetd (internet super server) is no longer part of this. But you can still install it. “sudo apt-get install inetutils-inetd” or the successor to inetd the Xinetd “sudo apt-get install xinetd”
Thank you Henk…

Ok, that sounds nice. Let give it a try.

Fist setup Linbpq, add de “cmdport” to the telnet port section.

PORT
 PORTNUM=4                      ; Optional but sets port number if stated
 ID=Telnet
 DRIVER=Telnet

CONFIG
 CMS=1
 CMSCALL=PI1LAP
 CMSPASS=**********
 LOGGING=1
 DisconnectOnClose=1
 CMDPORT 63000
 TCPPORT=6309
 FBBPORT=6306
 HTTPPORT=****
 LOGINPROMPT=User:
 PASSWORDPROMPT=Password:
 MAXSESSIONS=10
 CTEXT=Welcome to PI1LAP`s Telnet Server.\nPress ? For list of commands \n\n
 USER=pd9q,pass,PD9Q,,SYSOP
ENDPORT

I have add “CMDPORT 63000” but it can by any number.

Now add a Application at the end of de bpq32.cfg

APPLICATION 7,APP,C 4 HOST 0 S

Now we have to add some stuff to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf

/etc/services

# Local services
bpqdemo        63000/tcp   # BPQ Demo App

/etc/inetd.conf

bpqdemo    stream    tcp    nowait    pd9q  /usr/local/linbpq/testapp.pl

Now restart inetd. sudo killall -1 inetd

I have found a small script on the internet and make some adjustments.
This script is using some perl modules that has to be installed.

cpanm Linux::SysInfo
cpanm Sys::Info
cpanm Sys::Load
cpanm Sys::MemInfo
cpanm Sys::CpuLoad

The testapp.pl script. /usr/local/linbpq/testapp.pl

   my $info = Sys::Info->new;
   my $cpu = $info->device('CPU');
   my $os  = $info->os;

   my $old_fh = select(STDOUT);
$| = 1;
select($old_fh);

my $line = <STDIN>;

   print "Hello " . $line . "Welcome to the LinBPQ System Info App of PI1LAP.\n";

   print "Operating System is\n", $os->name( long => 1 );

   print "\n\nSystem load: ", (getload())[0], "\n";
   print "System uptime: ", int uptime(), "\n\n";

   print 'load average: ',
       join(',', Sys::CpuLoad::load()), "\n\n";

   print "Total memory: ".(&totalmem / 1024)."\n";
   print "Free memory:  ".(&freemem / 1024)."\n";

   print "Total swap: ".(&totalswap / 1024)."\n";
   print "Free swap:  ".(Sys::MemInfo::get("freeswap") / 1024)."\n\n";
   print "Type exit to close\n";

while( my $line = <STDIN> )
{
    $line =~ s/\r?\n$//;
    if ($line =~ /exit/)
    {
                die "shutting down, bye,bye\n";
        }

        # do your processing here!

        print "  $line\n";
}

Now we can run the script from linbpq. Let give it a try.

LinBPQ with Winmor port.

Posted on13 October 201825 October 2018AuthorPD9QLeave a comment

With the help of the config file of Jerry, N9LYA and some help from John, G8BPQ I have setup a Winmor port on my Linbpq.I use a Microham USB II as soundcard device connected to my Windows PC and a direct Cat kabel from my Linux PC to control the TRX.

Here is the section for the Winmor port. (BPQ32.CFG)
