signal coverage tracking while driving

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi,

I am planing to put an omnitik with a GPS on my car, to record signal coverage from my towers while I am driving. As mikrotik supports to check the GPS coordinates natively, I would want to make a script that, as long as the unit is powered, records latitude, longitude and signal strength every 30 seconds and saves it to a file (usb storage will be ok).

I have no prior experience on mikrotik scripting. Can any guru jump in? Maibe this is something that other WISPs have done before :slight_smile:

Regards

I’m not aware of any way for the monitor values to be captured into a file… if there was that, the rest is trivial.

You could certainly take a separate device (like, say, a Raspberry PI), from which you can connect to the router with the API protocol. Once you do that, you can make the other device save that data onto itself, along with the scan data too.

I realize that this means having extra weight in your car though, making things less convenient.
