ESP8266 crash course

by Morgan Allen

For hardware hack night tonight I will be bringing some of these new fangled ESP8266 boards, you may have heard of them. https://hackaday.com/tag/esp8266/ *Why are these things so cool?* Welp, they're a 80mhz CPU, with at least 512k flash memory, built in Wifi, are flashed with a serial connection and they cost about $4-5. For the last week I've been working on sudo-clock ( http://github.com/morganrallen/sudo-clock) with the ESP8266 at its core. Robb was surprised to find out that not only are these Wifi modules that can be used with a separate micro, but can have custom firmware loaded on them. Soo.... yeah. If you are interesting in checking these nifty things out come hack with us tonight! I'll have 2-3 devices available, bring a USB->serial adapter if you have one but I should have enough. Check out the wiki here for info on getting the software toolchain setup. It is fairly straight forward if the instruction in the Toolchain section are followed. https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/wiki -- http://ithoughtyouweretherobot.com Metal and Wire http://nolonelyguineapigs.com/ Wandering and Rambling http://morglog.org Old and Neglected. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: OpenPGP.js v.1.20121007 Comment: http://openpgpjs.org xsBNBFG3btUBB/9+/WJNOSIuc/praKPaPOweqXV5s7PGRD+HAnNWF/19YAY3 AFtfeoelhhY4sMJoobTaJzcZojznZ1kl/7UuuYCnbJO3Z9kaSMVrVxEZMSLe YmW8Hc4ZsTnl9f05DQFy8ABpAvMLmXJQXh63BbfzjFqNbSWQfLhrubSM2Elq xmN6EsmRyAuEeYlSnal+Di2MlViohpCbbagE2D6AZTUECIamTib6+DuLG4XO b4GGKHR9TXu2qS1VH6hqcvdEz2MDE5OqZzAnBgcF2dvcOdTk9gAOoR1T+qKj IJtg2X0ETbxcPqEXQoXE8VrxN0MLT5JQKTg26+csU4P2w0rEWsUsJombABEB AAHNJU1vcmdhbiBBbGxlbiA8bW9yZ2FucmFsbGVuQGdtYWlsLmNvbT7CwFwE EAECABAFAlG3btwJEG9pFLKaVEfeAAD7hwf+K8LN/kfgi8GTRLiTcuM+hSbm uAeiBY+VaJIQFLzoFlt8A0hBlLNPFNNmUDxdPrMErdHgZ7HtJW/6RANuBTti 5hr3EBguH1GQyK7BbUqJGvaEX4UNRej3uyX3ufXDsIB/3NsKaTyyu+SO0+Hv Cn2DwmlfSXcPhoarx6Turizn/WwgtTN3tqrMWxxiCKWydLH5xYuz+23BLMdc oF/zkbF+7ddFhmyfiFh4Ej9//tsfwPj2cACU3uLTrcwCo7IxUtkrqMF/fhlm LEqjhzDDjq9v7GNWb/5xB2xgTaucJ7/ljuS8nPlZqwCI8NlTgSqC8nyVLyjS yVtOzkItcS0UqyW1Mg== =V/Ia -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Richmond tower update

by Paige Peterson

Hi all - an update to mention I'm reconnecting with Richmond based non-profit Building Blocks for Kids to discuss best ways to integrate People's Open Network with the community out here. Per our discussions a few weeks ago, the plan is to show Ralph from Internet Archive that SudoMesh is worth collaborating with so he will open up access to their free wifi tower to spread via mesh instead of limiting it to just the few repeaters they have set up already. My goals will be to: -find out where the few repeaters are now and how we can hook into/extend their access -find the best ways to outreach to this area for a group of people willing and able to maintain a test deployment (and obv bring them by SudoRoom for a mesh meeting, etc) I plan to meet with Teresa from their Digital access team next week at BBK offices in Richmond. If anyone wants to join, let me know. Perhaps it would be nice to bring some nodes to show? Finally, sorry for being MIA at meetings the past couple weeks - life things getting in the way causing various stages of overwhelmed head space triggering reclusive tendencies. I *will* be back... hopefully with some folks in Richmond interested in testing/maintaining a mesh out here. Peace -Paige

Greetings from Bolivia

by Sergio Guillen Mantilla

Hello friends of Sudoroom, I am Sergio one member of the hacklab r00tHouse from Bolivia. I send you this mail to comment you that we started working on a project that is a mesh network. We want to make a network that communicates our city (it is not a big city) and we started working on it. We decided to use Batman-adv as the routing protocol and OpenWRT and some weeks ago looking for some documentation we found your wiki and looked that you decided to stop using Batman-adv because of some issues. We are concerned of which were those issues. I don't know if you can tell us your experiences with Batman-adv and the reasons you stopped using it and why you decided to go with Babel routing protocol. What batman-adv version were you using? We are using OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment with the 2012 batman-adv version. Saludos desde Bolivia

Musti has helped create a hackerspace in Maribor called KreatorLab and is focusing on creating a set of standards for documenting open hardware. There's a guy called Dave Taht in Los Gatos who works with the IETF who works on standards for the internet. He developed a bunch of the bufferbloat stuff in cerowrt.
