Hi all
Yesterday I emailed TTGO/ Lily to see if in principle they could install the disaster
radio boards they ship. After a bit of linguistic miscommunication they went ahead and did
it.
So it's now possible to order the boards pre-flashed here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000396836096.html
I didn't intend to do this without asking the list, so apologies if I've
overstepped.
If you really don't want to do this, then I can ask them to remove the listing. I
realise that fully open hardware is needed in the medium term.
They are willing to donate a $1 for every board sold:
https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H856d5793d514415187b910e3fd4a3139w.jpg
Assuming you're happy to leave the listing up, where should we send this trickle of
donations? Do you have a bank?
This does leave the task for the users to configure their SD card, is that as easy as
formatting to ext2 and copying index.html to it?
https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/tree/master/web/static or is it more involved
than that?
Let me know what you want to do about the listing, and if it stays up, where to send the
money.
Thanks
Sam

Hey Sam,
Thanks for taking initiative on this.
I personally do not have a problem with this idea, as long as it works. I
would like to tag a release (0.0.1?) and provide them binaries so that they
are shipping it with firmware from a particular commit. They should also be
able to flash the SPIFFs with the web app, we could provide binaries for
that as well. Then, you wouldn't necessarily need an SD card.
SD cards need to be formatted to fat32 for ESP devices. To prepare the SD
card, you need to build the javascript app (following the readme
https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/tree/master/web) and then copy
the contents of web/static (`index.htm` and `bundle.js`) to the SD card.
It's a fairly straightforward process, but I should create instructions.
It's great that they are willing to make a small donation with every sale.
SudoMesh would be the group to receive those, and they do have a bank
account, I would dm Jenny about that.
The one addition I would make to the listing is a link to either the
website, disaster.radio, and/or the github repo in the description.
This group generally operates on a consensus basis, so I'd be interested to
hear what other people who have been involved in its development think.
p.s. I would also be cool to display something on the OLED screen when it
ships, haven't gotten around to that idea though.

Hey, awesome to see some movement with disaster.radio :)
How complete is the hardware linked to on aliexpress? It looks like the
PCB, antenna, breakout pins, and power jumper is included -- so all that's
missing from the complete Disaster.Radio box is the housing, solar panels,
battery storage, and all interconnects for the prior two?
As a side note, I would love to introduce folks in the mailing list to
Althea <http://althea.net/>. The name refers to both the organization and
their open source mesh networking software. Their organization model
incentivizes decentralized, locally-owned internet infrastructure by paying
providers through blockchain. Their software automatically routes traffic
to the most reliable, affordable nodes. The model is incredibly
interesting! I know some of y'all are already aware but I thought I'd
spread the word!
Again thanks the link to the new pcb and I look forward to understanding
what is and isn't included.

Disaster.Radio box is

Yes all the components are there, however it's closed source hardware.
The previous versions of the board had fairly limited range due to some poor design
choices, this one looks better, but it will be interesting to see how it performs. There
may be a performance boost from replacing the shipped antenna with something better, as I
suspect the supplied one is crap.
I'm planning to have a go with capacitors rather than batteries for longevity, it will
only work in the sun, but batteries seem like the component most likely to fail.
As a side note, I would love to introduce folks in the
mailing list to Althea.
Looks good, have you tried it out?
Thanks
Sam

Great, would be good to hear from anyone who has concerns. The way I see it is that this

have a different view.
p.s. I would also be cool to display something on the
OLED screen when it ships, haven't gotten

A scrolling ticker of the most recent messages would make the device usable without an
additional device. Probably over complicated for now though..

New subject: TTGO boards with Disaster Radio now on Aliexpress
It is not difficult to create binaries, I have to create them every time I
test a change to the firmware. And yes, providing binaries could make it
easier. It means that you wouldn't have to install the entire toolchain and
compile the firmware from scratch. You would just need to install esptool
(or another serial flashing tool) and upload the binary to the ESP.
You are correct that the `web/static` files created are the same every time
(assuming that you did not make local changes before creating them).
However, it is not typical to track `bundle.js` in github commits because
it is an auto-generated file and would dirty the commit history will lots
of redundant, unreadable diffs.
The proper way of providing a both the binaries and the `web/static` files
is to upload them with a release. Then someone who purchases a TGGO board
(or LILYGO before they ship the boards) would download the latest realease
as a zip file containing the necessary files and a README with easy to
follow instructions of how to put them on your ESP.
I'll work on making this work flow a reality.
And, I like the idea of a message ticker. Or at least some sort of
notification when a message is received?

fyi...
https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/releases/tag/0.1.0
The aforementioned workflow is now a reality, just download
`disaster-radio-0.1.0.zip` from the releases page and follow the
instructions in the README.
I encourage anyone with an ESP32 TTGO board to give it a try and let me
know if there are any issues.
Good luck!

In the absence of any concerns raised I'll share this with Lilygo so they can
pre-flash boards.
If anyone does raise objections we can still ask them to stop pre-flashing.
Thanks

You are correct that the `web/static` files created are the same every time (assuming that
you did not make local changes before creating them). However, it is not typical to track
`bundle.js` in github commits because it is an auto-generated file and would dirty the

New subject: TTGO boards with Disaster Radio now on Aliexpress
yay grant!
Is anyone going to CCC this year? I'll be helping with the about:freedom
village where the focus will be the struggle for a social-ecological
transformation
(https://events.ccc.de/congress/2019/wiki/index.php/Assembly:About:freedom),
and I'd love to wave some new boards around and talk about disaster radio.
If anyone's planning to be at sudoroom this coming Monday or Tuesday,
I'll come by.

New subject: New features & new boards
Hi All
Grant and others have been doing some great work recently.
https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio (https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio)
There's been a code refactor and a bunch of new features added
* Routing table is printed beneath the webapp
* HistorySD records history to SD card
* OLEDClient: displays messages on the screen
* You can set a WIFI_SSID and WIFI_PASSWORD to try to connect to, and if it fails it falls
back to AP mode
There is some experimental, and I think largely untested support for new boards:
https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/blob/master/platformio.ini#L33
(https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/blob/master/platformio.ini#L33)
* Tbeam (with GPS) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33046632533.html
(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33046632533.html)
* Heltec V2 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32909141441.html
(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32909141441.html)
* Lopy https://pycom.io/product/lopy4 (https://pycom.io/product/lopy4/) - Which should be
compatible with https://pycom.io/product/pygo1 (https://pycom.io/product/pygo1/) once
released
I'm going to have a go with getting it running on
https://m5stack.com/collections/m5-core/products/face
(https://m5stack.com/collections/m5-core/products/face)
Of course, there remain plenty of meaty bugs to get stuck into;
https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/issues
(https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/issues)
If anyone was up for testing some of the new boards that would be interesting..
Thanks

Hi all
Yesterday I emailed TTGO/ Lily to see if in principle they could install the disaster
radio
boards
they ship. After a bit of linguistic miscommunication they went ahead and did it.
So it's now possible to order the boards pre-flashed here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000396836096.html
(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000396836096.html)
I didn't intend to do this without asking the list, so apologies if I've
overstepped.
If you really don't want to do this, then I can ask them to remove the listing. I
realise that
fully open hardware is needed in the medium term.
They are willing to donate a $1 for every board sold:
https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H856d5793d514415187b910e3fd4a3139w.jpg
(https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H856d5793d514415187b910e3fd4a3139w.jpg)
Assuming you're happy to leave the listing up, where should we send this trickle of
donations?
Do
you have a bank?
This does leave the task for the users to configure their SD card, is that as easy as
formatting
to
ext2 and copying index.html to it?
https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/tree/master/web/static
(https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/tree/master/web/static) or is it more involved
than
that?
Let me know what you want to do about the listing, and if it stays up, where to send the
money.
Thanks
Sam
