Need Beta Testers for Flock Finder

I spent the past two months building a a flock detecting app, and I want to validate it and make sure it passes mustard for stability and detections. I'm looking for some beta testers with a Cardputer Adv who would be willing to test for a couple of weeks and provide feedback.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfz659YKAjOyWrIjDiOtE0WjXWej5nbaYPZ6tfx2nWoCId2Ng/viewform?usp=header

I'd love to get 10 people to test this to start, and I'll subsequently update this post (and send those people the bin file). I'll also be deleting these emails once we get done with this (and will update this post to tell you when I have my 10 so no one else fills it out).

Questions re' the Cardputer Mesh kit.

Hello all,

I recently purchased this that's presumably pre-flashed with Meshtastic, however, upon further research, I'm seeing quite a lot of reports of poor receive sensitivity when compared to say the Heltec V3.

I'm not really into Meshtastic & prefer Meshcore much more, so would somebody also please be so kind as to suggest their favourite FW for this?

Does anybody out there currently own this, and how are you finding the receive sensitivity compared to your other companions, please?

Many thanks.

CRUB - an in-device firmware flasher, filesystem and partitions manager.

Hi everyone, I'm just checking for interest.

i've made my own in-device firmware flasher, it accepts familiar UNIX syntax for file management and navigation (cd ls mv rm cp cat touch .etc) then a flash command to flash any binaries including those that need more partitions (spiff nvs vfs). and my favorite, the alias command. i can make shortcuts for favorite firmwares through alias so i dont have to navigate and type all of it then launch it all at the press of a 3-4 buttons.

i mostly use bmorcelli's launcher as a daily driver for my cardputer adv, i've also tried m5apps. it's great but the speed of booting can't make up for the time spent on re setting up the firmwares i use. (mostly Micropython on cardputer) so i went with the launcher approach of only having one app partition to flash and boot from at a time.

let me know if you're interested in this project, it took me some time to build it. (bonus graphing calculator firmware at the end)

Adv custom firmware

So lately my adv been just sitting collecting dust on my desk and with the zero coming out im afraid its going get worse lol. I have the lora cap for this but meshtastic is not used around me at all. So I started looking at my adv and was wondering what can I do to use it more. The device is awesome with keyboard and speakers so I been working on this custom firmware that I think I would carry it around, use it more often. I normally ssh into my raspberry through my pc so I thought why not a terminal if I just wanted to do something quick. Also added an mp3 player, gb/gbc emulator if I get bored. Something to use the keyboard more so added a notepad and file explorer if you want to delete or view stuff off the sd or fs. Sorry its getting long, just wanted to share this and it also should work with regular cardputer. If there's enough interest in this I might put it out. I tested everything but the emulator i dont have any roms, if anyone know where to find it please lmk

CPZLite or CPZ?

Debating on which model to get, Looking at the specs between both models, which one are y’all looking forward to ?

With the Lite not having a camera, IMU and Sd card add one What use would I have for those add ones compared to the lite ?

Thermal Camera ADV

with a very good boy as model.
Capture is BtnG0 which makes it feel like an actual camera shutter.

it can record temperature to csv (polling the sensor center at 10hz)
can also manually set the min max temps to manipulate the gradient and render

Zero software ecosystem

I don't have a cardputer but I'm in line to buy a zero. What are people's guesses about how the software repository will work. Naturally ADV software won't work, will the zero reply on standard Linux applications? What was it like with the first cardputer when it launched, did it take some time for the software to catch up?

Because of these questions I've ordered an ADV today. I want to learn about mechtastic and since the hats are supposed to be compatible why not.

Pip-boy weather for adv

I spent the entire day fighting with this code. As someone who doesn't really know how to program, it was a nightmare—the keyboard just wouldn't respond at all on the new ADV version. After 12 hours of "talking" to an AI, hundreds of failed builds, and a lot of caffeine, I finally found the right I2C registers to wake up the keyboard. It ain't much, but it's honest work. Now my Vault Boy is officially walking! 🏃‍♂️💨
