[aprssig] SmartBeaconing implementation wanted

[Scott Miller]

There's the C implementation from my Tracker3 series, but it was 
originally written for an 8-bit MCU and uses globals. Frankly I don't 
think it's worth implementing for use on the playa. I'd probably just do 
a stationary beacon rate and a faster moving beacon rate. In 2014 we put 
trackers on all of the medical support vehicles, using 9600 baud on the 
70 cm band, and they all had accelerometers to tell them when to wake up 
and turn on the GPS receiver. Only problem with that was that when the 
wind would get really strong it'd rock the vehicles around enough to 
trigger the motion sensors and some of the batteries ran down earlier 
than expected. A bike shouldn't have that problem.

Be sure to stop by 4:00 & F sometime. Here's my current project, albeit 
with only half of the LEDs installed: https://youtu.be/nXHu47XfdKc
