HAB-Tracker

HAB-Tracker is a ugly bit of JS to display a map with the location and predict the landing point.

API keys

In order to get the ballon position and prediction we'll query two services APRS.fi and CUSF / SondeHub Predictor through theirs APIs.

You need API keys in order to query them:

• aprs.fi: Register and request API token: https://aprs.fi/page/api

• Predictor: Do not require API token but use with care:

  • https://github.com/projecthorus/tawhiri/#sondehub-tawhiri-instance
  • https://tawhiri.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html

Quick Setup guide:

1. Clone the repo.
2. Rename settings.php.sample to settings.php and set your keys and other parameters.
3. Deploy it in your server or hosting.
