pip install ogn-client

Example Usage

Parse APRS/OGN packet.

from ogn.parser import parse
from datetime import date, time

beacon = parse("FLRDDDEAD>APRS,qAS,EDER:/114500h5029.86N/00956.98E'342/049/A=005524 id0ADDDEAD -454fpm -1.1rot 8.8dB 0e +51.2kHz gps4x5",
               reference_date=date(2016,1,1), reference_time=time(11,46))

Connect to OGN and display all incoming beacons.

from ogn.client import AprsClient
from ogn.parser import parse, ParseError

def process_beacon(raw_message):
    if raw_message[0] == '#':
        print('Server Status: {}'.format(raw_message))
        return
    try:
        beacon = parse(raw_message)
        print('Received {beacon_type} from {name}'.format(**beacon))
    except ParseError as e:
        print('Error, {}'.format(e.message))

client = AprsClient(aprs_user='N0CALL')
client.connect()

try:
    client.run(callback=process_beacon, autoreconnect=True)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('\nStop ogn gateway')
    client.disconnect()
