Hey Andy!
It's great to see your enthusiasm for the TFT GUI that's in development. I just wanted to clarify a few points to make sure everyone's on the same page.
This firmware hasn't been "removed"; it's actually never been officially released. That's why it's not currently available through the web flasher. While you're right that it's somewhat usable, there are still some bugs and issues that we're ironing out-a big one being persistence.
Also, those files you're pointing people to in the video aren't released firmware versions. They're actually PR artifacts built during the development process for testing purposes. We don't recommend that people download these unless they understand what they're getting into. These aren't even release candidates, so there's a good chance they could have issues. Ideally, they should only be used by developers.
Rest assured, as soon as we're ready to release this version of the firmware, we'll make sure to let the community know!
Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate all your hard work on this.
So can you advise is there a place for developers to get hold of the source code so they can work on it?
@@andykirby It's on their official GitHub in the tft-gui-work branch. You'll have to have a good understanding of git, submodules, and be able to setup platform IO correctly to get a functional build.
Thanks, I did see that. 👍🏻
@@andykirby Looks like premature ejaculation
I mean, that's great and all, but everyone who downloads that development firmware knows what they're getting into. People are going to want to download it and play with it, not depend on it for some kind of production workload - and the more that do that, the more bugs they can help you find.
No it's not been deleted. I'm a paying supporter and it's still being developed my version is a few days old.
where can u find it ? and help support this firmware?
@@armisis any chance you could share the firmware bin file please?
@@BlueeBubble I am waiting for a new artifact to be generated, I just monitor the github artifacts for this branch at this point, they seem to clear them out after a while so they do not last, as none of these are even in "alpha" yet. Just keep a tab there. try to get ahold of the latest ones and upgrade as soon as you can. Its really fast moving right now.
I have it and its very buggy but its also an beta maybe even alpha prerelease. I think they took it down because to many people assumed it was 100% working and its not ready for the masses
Meshtastic itself is in beta with intermediate alpha builds for testing new stuff, so that would make this particular build pre-alpha.
Thanks for the videos I bought my first node of someone i met online who is also in this hobby. It's a solar powered one. Really like the vlogs afterwards that shows the remote nodes and all the work you do :)
people in the past tested the influence of PLA plastic on the antenna and there is NO NEGATIVE effect at all.
Hi Andy, Can you actually buy complete unit as in your video instead of buying bits&pieces and assembling it yourself?
Got seasick watching.
I'm on version 2.4.3 right now.
But I really like the green ui. It reminds me of fallout lol
Playing with my emotions! I can't wait. It looks great so far.
I was able to get it before was taken down but I am using it. it is beautiful. since I installed, as buggy as is I did not touch my heltec device. I refuse to use the phone with the heltec anymore. This is the device the DEVs should be working on since it is all in one.
I was thinking, if the hat I bought which says, "I like Dogs, & maybe 3 people" did not have a ring of truth to it & I had several dozen friends in my remote area the meshtastic network would be a fabulous way to stay in touch.
The problem it seems to have is once the network has enough nodes it can become overwhelmed. I was wondering if there is anyway to restrict how many nodes can communicate with your specific station under its current software design?
Suppose you and everyone could select just 10 nodes that can send & receive messages from & to you. Under the theory everyone is seperated by any other by only 6 degrees of separation a message from the far end of Britian could conceivably make it to your in box. Of course everybody would have to go along with the idea to make it work, but it conceivably would not require alteration of software.
Can't find the file anywhere, anyone got it?
The official discord support for the touch gui. It's no where near prime time yet.
still got the Twizy then!
That is one tidy desk...
Hi Andy
If you have any details on the solar panel that you are using.
I have a 5,8 watt panel in test. And it is not Ok for Long term use.
I have a few 10Watt panels on the way. And with 2 x 18650 batt’s. It should be ok for Long term use with no need to charge it.
Love if you shared some info on the solar node.
Yes it's a very small one from amazon, I'll put the link in the description.
I'm using the RAK wisblock as a node as the power consumption is incredibly low, way way lower than the heltecs and even the Pi Pico nodes, this is why it can run continuously on a small panel. This particular node has retained the same voltage for about a week now. It has a 21700 5000mah battery inside.
@@andykirby Nice.. i am building 5 nodes for some very high Towers here in Copenhagen.
The things are in the mail.. so i hope to finish in 2-3 weeks.
I have 10w solar panels on the way.
where is the link for the firmware?
Why did Sarah Kirby stop making video she was good at them.
They are not planning on bringing bluetooth support back. Which sucks. But says to use the wifi up address
Any source for that? Last I read was this code branch needed to wait for underlying work before reimplementing BLE support.
@@Djhg2000 it's in their discord chat room where they told me it wasn't coming back for the T-Deck.
@@armisis That's a shame then, I've given the GUI branch a try a few times but always revert back because it doesn't have BLE.
@@Djhg2000 I don't get why they would not enable it, it's there use it. They just told me to use the wifi connection or link it to my phones wifi Hotspot..... I don't get it.... As it's still in development I hope they change their minds....
@@armisis Well my memory is a little fuzzy on the details but from reading commit messages and code changes I think it's because BLE used essentially the same internal API as the serial ports. These were (and maybe still are?) hardcoded instances so when the GUI needed a virtual serial interface for talking with the core it repurposed the BLE instance and threw BLE on the backburner for some future rewrite of those serial interfaces.
That's the way I understood it anyway.
@andy kirby Have you been putting meshtastic nodes up with balloons today? Tell the truth! 😂
Nsa deleted the firmware 😅
Can you place the link for the github please ?
its not released yet.
whats it for ? is it secure?
Nothing's ever secure. It's a low power low range mesh network. Has a billion uses. But most people just use it to chat.
Does anyone have the file? 😢
I have it. If you have a way for me to send it to you, let me know.
@@mlg779 can I have your mail address please?
@@mlg779 sure but it's not letting me write my address! 😭
@@mlg779 what is the best way to reach you?
Yes
My tent is cold
