Thank you!

I created bash script for my weather station. My weather station uploads data to wunderground. I then use my API key from wunderground and jq to download that data and format it to fit the parameters you pass via your program. The cronjob runs every 1 minute. The end result is the following on aprs.fi

Here's the script:

#!/bin/bash

#Authentication
#Weather Underground
API_KEY="<Weather Underground API Key>"
PWS_ID="<PWS Station ID from wunderground>"

#APRS-IS
call="<HAM Radio Callsign>"
index="<APRS SSID>"
aprs_is_url="<APRS-IS URL>"
aprs_is_port="10152"
aprs_is_user="<APRS-IS Username>"
aprs_is_pass="<APRS-IS Passcode>"
comment="$call - Home Weather Station"

#Gather Weather Underground JSON data from the personal weather station and build an array
response=$(curl -s "https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=$PWS_ID&format=json&units=e&apiKey=$API_KEY")
wx_values=$(echo "$response" | jq -r '.observations[].lat,.observations[].lon,.observations[].imperial.elev,.observations[].imperial.pressure,.observations[].solarRadiation,.observations[].imperial.precipTotal,.observations[].humidity,.observations[].imperial.temp,.observations[].winddir,.observations[].imperial.windSpeed,.observations[].imperial.windGust')
IFS=$'\n' read -r -d '' -a wx_array <<< "$wx_values"

#Expand the array to individual variables for use with "aprs-weather-submit"
lat=${wx_array[0]}
lon=${wx_array[1]}
alt=${wx_array[2]}
baro=${wx_array[3]}
lum=${wx_array[4]}
rain=${wx_array[5]}
rh=${wx_array[6]}
temp=${wx_array[7]}
wdir=${wx_array[8]}
wind=${wx_array[9]}
gust=${wx_array[10]}

#Upload to APRS-IS
aprs-weather-submit -k $call-$index -n $lat -e $lon -A $alt -b $baro -L $lum -P $rain -h $rh -t $temp -c $wdir -S $wind -g $gust -M \"$comment\" -I $aprs_is_url -o $aprs_is_port -u $aprs_is_user -d $aprs_is_pass

Thank you for using it! It looks like aprs.fi doesn't recognize the voltage parameter, so that's why you have that junk data before your comment (in green).

That's weird. Let me see your new command line. Just the call to aprs-weather-submit will suffice.

[psychosquirrel85]

aprs-weather-submit --callsign KF5SQL-5 --latitude 45.654 --longitude -68.7 --altitude 388 -b 29.54 -L 28.8 -P 0.02 -h 81 -t 46 -c 180 -S 7 -g 7 -I noam.aprs2.net -o 10152 -u aprsuser -d aprskey

Oh, and don't feel bad about omitting -X. When it refers to radiation, it doesn't mean UV radiation. That'd be luminosity. -X is for radioactive radiation, measured by a Geiger counter. (I'm not sure how that wound up in the APRS specification, but it did.)

[rhymeswithmogul]

That is weird. Let me play with this on my end, and I'll let you know if you discovered a bug.

Thank you for checking. I thought it was working fine lol
