wstationd=========`wstationd` is a simple daemon (written in C) for accepting Iridium Short DataBursts via Direct IP. While it's intended to be used for collecting data fromremote weather stations (thus the name), it can be used to collect informationfrom any source operating over the Iridium SDB Service. `wstationd` has beentested on OSX, FreeBSD and Linux.
Building--------Running `make` should be sufficient in most cases to compile `wstationd`.
Running-------`wstationd` requires a single argument to specify the directory SDB will becollected into. Files will be created using a simple naming conventionindicating the time it was collected and the IP it was collected from. Parsingthese files is an exercise left up to the reader - the format will differgreatly based on your hardware. `wstationd` leaves all of the SDB headersintact, so you'll need to account for that when parsing. Good luck!
