A small python script to set the WSJT-X maidenhead grid reference with location from GPSD
Developed and tested with Python >= 3.6
Prerequsites
- pip3 install maidenhead
- gpsd instance running and getting location from a GPS reciever
How to Run:
- Clone this Repo
- python3 wsjtx_grid_from_gpsd.py
Notes: Sometimes this takes a few reads before it returns a Grid, this has to do with the way GPSD returns data, an is expected. This software will listen for packets from WSJT-x and I think that it only sends those packets
- when the UDP options are enabled and
- when the application starts up.
The way I use this is to run it as a service on my linux laptop so it starts at boot.
