Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

watch-aprs

Monitor and decode APRS packets arriving on a KISS-over-TCP device.

This is a command-line utility that decodes APRS packets and prints them out to the console in more-or-less human-readable form. It's useful with ports that have been made available by the share-tnc utility, or with ports that directly implement KISS-over-TCP, like the Direwolf sound card interface.

Hardware/Software Environment

watch-aprs uses 'node.js'. It has been tested most heavily on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Jessie, but has been casually tested on Windows 10, Linux Mint and MacOS Sierra, and appears to work fine. Please file a report if you experience difficulties.

Installation

If you need to use 'sudo' to install globally, use the following:

sudo npm install -g watch-aprs

If you don't need 'sudo', then

npm install -g watch-aprs

Usage

Command Line - Monitoring the On-Air APRS Traffic

watch-aprs <host>:<port>

e.g.

watch-aprs raspberrypi:8001

'watch-aprs' isn't specific to the 'share-tnc' package. It will work with any KISS-over-TCP server (e.g. DireWolf).
