Introduction

Installation Instructions

  • This code is a fork of Dan Smith's dantracker @ https://github.com/kk7ds/dantracker.
  • Some of the differences between this code (n7nix) and the kk7ds code are:
    • Display runs in a browser using node.js & websockets
      • kk7ds displays using GTK+
    • Adds APRS messaging
    • Adds shutdown reset control from the app.
  • The server part can run on an RPi (kk7ds can as well)
    • The client part can run on any browser on the network

How to run

  • After installing to your Linux machine (Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone or Workstation)
    • Open a browser in any computer/phone/pad/tv with this url:
# local to server

# example
