This project is designed to seamlessly integrate weather data from Ecowitt compatible professional weather stations into the global Automatic Packet Reporting System Internet Service (APRS-IS) network, transmitting this information in the standardized format of APRS weather packets. APRS, an amateur radio-based system, facilitates real-time tactical digital communications, covering applications such as GPS position reporting and the dissemination of meteorological data. Ecowitt2APRS addresses a specific need within this ecosystem: providing a lightweight and efficient method for weather stations to contribute to this data stream.

It ingests live weather data from Ecowitt compatible stations, converts it into the required APRS weather pac...
