Damn, Mongolia is a beautiful country… My lunch view for today was great (photo included). Tomorrow is a national park and turtle rock, then we head to another part of the country to visit nomadic reindeer herders… and after that, the Gobi.

Latest PCB design project is starting to look like I might be summoning digital demons… But in reality is a direction finding setup utilizing ESP32-S2’s (using a shared crystal to keep them in sync) as the discrete radios and antennas, and an ESP32-S3 Wroom-1 N16R8 as the “brain”. They’re set up in a UCA geometry sized to be able to DF on 2.4ghz range targets.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@VeroniqueB99/116857755926130975 I’ve said it plenty of times before, and I’ll continue to say it until my dying breath… health insurance is a scam, designed to part you from your money while doing as much as possible to avoid paying for anything. It is not there for your benefit, and only wants to keep you alive so you can keep paying. When you get too old or your diagnosis is too expensive they’ll fuck you over even harder because you’re no longer valuable to them.

@bosh@infosec.exchange oooh, the new badge! WrewOS doesn’t include Veilid, but Spectra Bridge does (which bridges MeshCore, Meshtastic, and SpectraMesh over veilid). I got veilid to run on the esp32, but it’s just not performant enough to be a fullly functioning node.

Rounding out the week by getting video streaming working on my cyberdeck. Test run is watching the matrix streamed from my media server. Have this on while I work on a voice link between WrewOS devices.

Over lunch today I was able to address the firmware issue in #SpectraMesh - and released the firmware for the T-LoRa Pager (finally!)

If you want to check out the release notes, they're here: https://spectramesh.net/updates (click "changelog" to see)

If you want to flash the firmware, it's available on the web flasher: https://spectra.wrewtopia.com

The first messages on #SpectraMesh from the ThinkNode M1 have been sent and received!

There's more work to do on the firmware, but it boots and can send/receive messages, which is most of the battle.

I may call it a night here and relax - the rest can happen tomorrow.

The #SpectraMesh git repo has been migrated over to Codeberg (link below). This will allow others to contribute to it - should they so choose - and hopefully it will go somewhere.

The existing repo on hackers.town forge will no longer be maintained.

New repo is here: https://codeberg.org/thewrew/spectra-mesh

I releases the GUI companion and Android APK for #SpectraMesh - both can be found on the releases page of the git repository linked here. I also updated the firmware bins on the web flasher to the latest stable firmware with BLE support.

I’ll be moving the git repo over to codeberg later this week to allow others to contribute.

I also got a Lilygo T-Beam that arrived today - I’ll start working on porting the firmware to support it.

Exciting day!

Feeling a little irreverent right now, so spending a little time wiring up a few easter eggs into Spectra.

I miss easter eggs in software - it's so easy to add and almost universally brings some joy. It should be a thing more often than it is. I will be adding easter eggs to all of my projects going forward.

Looking for anyone who wants to help test #Spectra with me.

Ping me here and we'll get something set up.

MeshCore or Meshtastic - either works!

Partial changelog:

2. Manage radio channel settings from Spectra with new commands

3. Log level now set to info, and flag added to set log location

4. Install script fixed - will now reliably pull latest version (oooops).

I may have to revisit my passive radar project soon. I want to see if I can get it to work before I head back to work in a couple of weeks.

Maybe later this week I can look at it again.

Spectra v0.4.0 development underway - the big feature of this release will be support for the stock MeshCore USB Companion firmware that is available on their web flasher.

This will make it a lot more approachable for those who want to use MeshCore, as all you have to do is plug the radio in and load up spectra and you're off and running.

I've got the implementation done, so now it's just a matter of testing while I add some other small features and bug fixes.

Ya know, if you want to send and receive messages on a radio.... it's usually a good idea to make sure the radio is properly configured to talk on the frequency you're trying to use.

Or, you know, so I've heard.

oops.

Spectra v0.3.0 is looking really solid right now. I may end up pushing a release of it later today at this rate.
Changes so far:
- Added --daemon mode flag which will launch as a backgrounded daemon.
- Added --attach flag to attach a TUI session to a running daemon (without having to kill the daemon first)
- MacOS support!
- Improved error handling and logging
- Installation script w/upgrade handling

Theres some smaller things in there too, but these are the big ones

It's Monday - let's find reasons to smile, find joy in the little things, and make this week the best we can in the face of an increasingly insane world.

I've got some chores to do around the house this week, but also will work on getting Spectra v0.3.0 ready for launch. I've already found some bugs that will be squashed - but even with those it's looking really good.

Go forth, and #hacktheplanet
