Hello everybody this is Justin VK2HJA and Nigel
VK2FNJH
and we are driving on the M5
on our way back from uh...
nerding it up at the CeBit exhibision in Sydney
on our way back to Goulburn
this is a little demonstration of VisualAPRS package which Nigel has written
and yeah, it's working well
we see the red and the green bars flashing
everytime the green bar
flashes we've received a beacon
and everytime the red bar flashes we've transmitted a beacon
we've manually set this to transmit a beacon every
thirty seconds while we drive
and given our APRS digipeater coverage
we seem to be getting the majority of our packets back, this is working very well
the UI is based on
another project I saw on youtube
I can't remeber the guys callsign, but his name was Dan, he's got a blog
his was based on a beagleboard using linux, but this is using Windows using
C# dot.net
as you can see some of the things are not quite right, I think the bluetooth gps is
giving some bad results on the speed it comes up as zero sometimes
probably would work better with a proper gps like a garmin gps or something
we have
the plans for this to be
stuck into a
car computer
with a 7 inch touchscreen
implemented in with a package like centafuse or something like that to
complete an in car entertainment system with APRS as well
but this is
almost out of alpha stage and into beta, well
this is out first beta run
on testing on the highway
anything more to add Nigel
no, if you want anymore information let us know
VK2FNJH
and VK2HJA
have a nice day
