Upload weather data to Citizen Weather Observer Program.

The Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) is a north American public-private partnership to gather weather data. This module uploads data to it from pywws. You can upload “logged” or “live” data (or both). The module ensures there is at least 5 minutes between each reading as required by the API.

• Example weather.ini configuration:

  [cwop]
  designator = EW9999
  latitude = 5130.06N
  longitude = 00008.52E
  passcode = -1
  
  [logged]
  services = ['cwop', 'underground']
  
  [live]
  services = ['cwop', 'underground']
  

Note that the latitude and longitude must be in “LORAN” format and leading zeros are required. See question 3 in the CWOP FAQ for more information.

Licensed radio hams use their callsign as the designator and need a passcode. Other users should leave the passcode at its default value of -1.

The CWOP/APRS uploader is based on code by Marco Trevisan <mail@3v1n0.net>.
