pistarlog2ws

pistarlog2ws is a small Python script that provides a websocket output of the radio log of a Pi-Star to be used by L.A.S.S.I.E..

Installation

Prerequisites

You need Pi-Star installed and configured to the frequency of your repeater output on a Raspberry Pi with MMDVM HAT. You also need to enable SSH in the configuration of the Pi-Star.

Pi-Star's disk is read-only by default, so you have to enable read-write with rpi-rw.

Clone the repository into the pi-star home and run the install script:

rpi-rw
git clone https://git.furcom.org/dingo/pistarlog2ws
cd pistarlog2ws
./install.sh

This should install and enable the websocket service and make the necessary adjustments to the firewall.

Test

You can test the installation from another machine in the network using nc or wscat.

nc -zv <IP-ADDRESS OF PI-STAR> 8765

wscat -c ws://<IP-ADDRESS OF PI-STAR>:8765 --no-color
