Welcome to the DisasterRadio git wiki!

Current goals:

• Compile firmware for an ESP32 dev board
• Sync up ESP32 branch with master (was already pretty well synced)
• Send LoRa message between two ESP32 dev boards (works on LILY TTGO dev boards)
• Rewrite routing protocol as library that is portable between simulator, ESP8266, and ESP32. (Completed as a new repo, LoRaLayer2)
• Merge ESP32 code into master branch (created new dirs, added arg to fetch deps, see PR #29)
• Write up API doc for LoRaLayer2/Layer1 (first pass in LoRaLayer2 readme needs improvement)
• Test SD card on ESP32 (working! moved SD card code to new repo, AsyncSDServer)
• implement routing protocol on real hardware (routing has been daemonized, still need to test thoroughly)
• release LoRaLayer2 as arduino library (should be available to install in Arduino IDE)
• Design, develop interactive shell to access over serial (uses standard getopt format, pretty cool, has basic functionality as of c6e41e80) (and ssh? this is possible https://github.com/hopkinskong/esp32-ssh-server)
• create config file and config update logic (allow config of hostname, SSID, localAddress? LoRa frequency? spreading factor?)
• refactor logic for routed messages (add broadcast addr condition)
• write websocket interface as library, or at least separate c file
• Update, improve basic example for LoRaLayer2
• Create automated builds of LoRaLayer2 with TravisCI
• Update documentation of firmware and hardware (suggested boards, solar panels, batteries, etc)
• revisit map tile webapp

Here are some pages:

• Power: Power consumption, solar power, batteries, etc.
• LoRa: Info on the LoRa protocol
• Antennas and impedance matching: Learning resources and VNA comparison
• Protocol: Details networking protocol used in disaster.radio messages
• Materials Cost Breakdown: Aiming for lowest cost of reliable and readily-available components!
• Use Cases: Real-life examples of communities that could benefit from this project, whose particular needs and environments should principally shape future development.
