UI-Webserver

1/29/11 Update - the UI-View maps quit working and thus the Webserver display. A simple update and refocus of the _PA7RHM map server using the updater was all that was necessary to fix it. We still need a source of local or cached maps but this keeps things going. BV

This is an update of a preliminary post on using UI-Webserver and the start of more detailed information describing how to use UI-Webserver, a component of the UI-View APRS package. For now, my notes are preserved on the NWAPRS WikiDot Wiki.

I'd post the link to the UI-Webserver here but I'm not quite ready to advertise that little web server up to the wilds of the World Wide Web.

Next project - learn how to use the Object editor to share the UI-Webserver URL on the APRS system with a slight obfuscation so the links are not plain text and thus easily open to everybody and everybot.

7/25/2011 - turn on the UI-Webserver. Running UI-View32 - File menu, click "UI-Webserver". Check the settings to make sure it's running on port 7373. It doesn't have to be 7373 but that's a convention a few of us are using and it's working well.

10/15/2011 - Added a live, even if captured, map to the main page to display on the web what the UI-View program is seeing.

10/16/2011 - Added the time stamp to the captured image. It was a simple matter of adding an additional event to the scheduler to apply the time stamp to each captured image. The help for for the captioner had the specific details needed.
