Whoa #reticulum #micropython #camera ! It’s working! Currently testing TCP interface only. Also a bug i need to go around - if MeshChat tries to initiate Link, the confirmation packet from esp32 doesn’t get the confirmation, so MeshChat keeps retrying. However if I send opportunistic msg, esp32 initiates the Link and the image gets sent successfully. Good progress anyway 🥳🎉

I fixed the bug! As a result of the efforts 3 major #reticulum micropython improvements: 1. Added IFAC support - now node can join password protected interfaces 2. Implemented the cryptography modules in C with #micropython bindings with fallback to native module The result on this is mind blowing: complete decode chain reduced from 3 sec to 75 ms! 3. Camera works! You can select quality and resolution of the image. I’m still to test over LoRa but on TCP receipt it’s almost instant.

The new changes to micropython #reticulum are uploaded to the repo. If someone is using it, you should update - the C crypto modules significantly increase performance https://github.com/varna9000/micropython-reticulum
