Aprs server

[MisterSimo]

Hi, I wanted to ask if it is possible and where to change the aprs server where the positions are published.
Another thing.. when I send an aprs message to my iu3ove-10 callsign: 'message', I find it in the Aprs.fi messages tab, but it doesn't reach the recipient (aprsdroid phone). It doesn't arrive even if I send it from the web (findu) or aprsdroid to the node. Am I doing something wrong or did I misunderstand? Thanks.

Thanks, @MisterSimo, and sorry for the delay over the holidays.
I haven't exposed any parameters for specifying which APRS.fi server is used. I am using the aprslib library.

That said, here is where we might go about changing that behavior:
https://github.com/afourney/aprstastic/blob/a5c26f2eb5234c40e13c6317169c4c524a041876/src/aprstastic/_aprs_client.py#L99C1-L103C33

As for the issue with messages reaching your device, can you please provide more information about your setup? Also, any logs that are generated by the console?

Just some background on what might be going on:

There must always be two Meshtastic devices involved: One acting as the gateway, and one acting as the client. You should be able to send APRS messages to the client (usign the registered callsign). On the other hand, the gateway device is unmonitored and doesn't directly respond to messages (except for the special message "!version" which dumps configuration information)

If it's your HAM radio device that's not receiving messages, then the problem is likely whatever iGate you're using. Are you able to communicate bidirectionally with other APRS services on that device?

Hi @afourney.
Don't worry, I just got back from vacation too!
I wanted to let you know that everything is working correctly, in the meantime studying your code I saw the call to aprs-client. I succeeded in my intent to make the meshtastic nodes communicate with the aprs server and the Sartrack software that we use in radio assistance. Everything works, both positions and bidirectional messages!
It would be nice to also have altitude and temperature, humidity, pressure, air quality sensor data connected to the meshtastic nodes.
Anyway, thanks again!

Glad to hear it.
Yes, I want to add weather reports, as well as altitude and bearing in position reports. I need to dive in to the APRS specs,

When you have news I'm available for tests.
