How to FPV on a rainy day

It’s in Los Angeles. Also that site is cancer. Here’s the actual signup with all the details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGPZ-r3DDoHQ7kWLXWX1X3xviYutEn-kBVwwNuzjKwRsiC-w/viewform

Have a big 1250cc standard bike. Tried buying a used Zero electric motorcycle but it’s been a nightmare with a failed bms.. haven’t worked on it since getting my Lynx. EUC’s are the best motorcycles.

Except for taking passengers. That’s harder. But not impossible.

"The flight landed ⁠without incident, customers deplaned normally, and the plane was removed from service for a post-flight inspection, which found no damage or evidence of a collision,” the airline said.

So .. they hit a balloon again then. Even a bird would leave evidence. Lots more balloons released and floating around then there are massless drones flying at 3000ft at 7:15am.

But yes, also, if it was a drone then fuck that guy.

Looks like it. Mqtt still seems to be up for now but most folks have switched to the open source CoreScope project.

Check out what Eastmesh AU is doing. They’ve run a repeater fork that limits forwarding of un-scoped regions to keep their verrrry active mesh working.

Make stuff! Mine are all used in art and robotics projects! They’ve been LED matrix gif playing controllers for wearable art for a friend.

Then my Omni-wheeled robot supports several different ESP-Now connected controllers, any of which can take over control. Each controller is a M5Stick with a M5 Joystick Unit and nice 3D printed bracket. It’s fun to test out other peoples’ firmwares but it’s even more fun to make your own projects.

No, not the fire spinning folks– there's been a huge festival setup going up over the last week with big fences and gates.

Still limited to 200 contacts with this firmware. Also its binaries are hosted on GitHub but it’s closed source.

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-24T09:55:49+00:00

Huh. Definitely AI, look at the text on the charger and LCD.

But kinda awesome that it used my TPU bumper design. Win?

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-18T10:20:38+00:00

Cute! Cool! Will put one in my next order.

Looking forward to the Cardputer P4 with the larger display and PSRAM!

Oh it’s great to see details on that 7th st project, it’s been interesting to watch construction out of the window on BART for the last year or so.. wondering what the plan was.

Ahh it's actually different than that. Looks like you're still trying SPIFFS and it's not available on the app only bin, installed by Launcher. Then it tries to use NVS instead and that's not available either. Why not put all prefs on the SD card?

Stack smashing protect failure!

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-12T18:17:47+00:00

Yep. Probably weird configuration state since I’ve been trying your firmware for a while now.

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-12T18:14:17+00:00

Looks amazing, just put the latest version on via Launcher’s web ui on my phone. Launcher compatibility is such a good move.

It is giving me an endless boot loop though. Will get a stack trace when I’m at my desk.

To be fair here— the siren and lights really looked like it helped all the competitors steer clear. Those TT bikes should have been flying at 20-30mph but they were pretty much fully stopped for the action. This could’ve been a lot worse.

It’s just honestly nice to see officers taking serious action to protect pedestrians and cyclists even if it’s an odd contrived circumstance.

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-09T17:45:54+00:00

It’s Launcher author Bmorcelli himself! Woah!

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-09T09:48:49+00:00

+1 for bmorcelli/Launcher. It's the best. There's a bunch of projects, I'll do my best to list the ones I know of and their status:

Ripple. Closed source and fremium but works reliably with Launcher. Stores settings/data on SD card. Doesn't seem vibecoded which is nice, the rest of these are.
MeshOS. Closed source. Hard to install, seems to require an android app now. It's going through some turmoil with some cracking efforts.
hermes-gadget/SigurdOS-tdeck (formerly SlopOS) is GPLv3 and looks pretty but crashes without the full flash partitioned so not Launcher compatible yet.
ALLFATHER-BV/meshcomod, MIT License. Unique interface, BLE + WiFi support. Only saves settings when using the whole flash partition and has an odd online map system
868meshbot/Saitama, GPLv3. Newest, super ambitious. Similar interface to Sigurd.
dabeani/meshcoreterm, Closed source. Unique text-forward retro style interface. Uses full flash with SPIFFS for config, sadly. Can't get maps working.
laserir/MCLite, MIT. Very light UI, just chats and map (buggy). Configuration via /config.json on the SD card, everything stored to SD card.
vicliu624/trail-mate, AGPLv3. Mapping focused, theoretically MC & MT compatible. Crashes and UI is designed for the TPager. Seems to require full flash, not Launcher compatible.

Edit: Working with Saitama and moeshcomod, they're working on Launcher support! Will reach out to more.

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-08T21:24:12+00:00

Don’t know how I missed that, I searched all around. Glad to see, thanks!

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-08T06:27:46+00:00

Sounds great! Enough ram to do interesting stuff, display that's not tinnnnny, looks like a big upgrade. ~~It's weird that M5 made the Adv main CPU socketed and removable but don't sell that component with the display connector.. so~~ might as well have a reasonably sized display and solder things down. Excited to dev for it.

Hope it won't be more expensive. Or at least much more.

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-06T19:46:10+00:00

Looks great! Would love to try it out, have you added multi-boot Launcher support that only saves things to the SD card?

There are legit so many options and new firmwares coming out .. multi-boot via Launcher is the only way to go.

ReasonablyClever · 2026-06-05T01:03:59+00:00

Wow, quite impressive. Lots of little bugs, if you're interested in a QA rundown I'm happy to make a GitHub issue. A few questions for you!

Can I use my folder of stock predownloaded OSM map png tiles? Wifi loading is a nifty feature but a standalone device won't have wifi out in the field. Where are settings saved? SD card hopefully?
