Yay, WiPhone!
Don't use a powerbank
xopr's WiPhone broke down (no serial port, CW2015 battery's gauge and CP2104 USB-uart get steaming hot: 800mA charging current). For now, it's best to avoid powerbanks (maybe only use a PC usb port) until the real cause is found.
custom firmware
you can use the ACKspace modified firmware by setting https://ackspace.nl/WiPhone/WiPhone.ini into the ota.ini file (or via the telephone)
Current applied patches:
- LoRa 868MHz
- ackspace.nl fake NAPTR (hardcoded IP)
- fix fiddly unlock (mentioned here)
Work in progress:
- LoRa menu (currently crashes the phone, don't use)
notes
- read documentation here
- report bugs at https://github.com/ESP32-WiPhone/wiphone-firmware/issues
- enable/disable automatic firmware settings at
Menu»Settings»Firmware settings - before you use LoRa, make sure to edit
Hardware.h, look forRF95_FREQand set it to 868MHz for EU:
#define RF95_FREQ 868.0(See this (somewhat sparse) issue)
- enable UDP by adding
u=UDP_SIPto an account indata/sip_accounts.ini(not yet tested)
Get started
- download source code
- run
V="0.8.30"; unzip WiPhone-$V && rm -fr WiPhone && mv WiPhone-$V WiPhone - open
WiPhone/WiPhone.inousing Arduino - once: set up IDE (see documentation for details):
- Open preferences (CTRL+,) and add https://wiphone.io/static/releases/arduino_platforms/package_WiPhone_index.json (comma separated) into Additional Boards Manager URLs
- go to Tools » Boards » Board Manager and install
WiPhone - Arduino option Tools » ESP Sketch Data Upload: download ESP32FS-1.0.zip into the ~Arduino/tools directory with
mkdir -p ~/Arduino/tools && unzip ESP32FS-1.0.zip -d ~/Arduino/tools - TODO: esptool.py serial:
sudo pip install pyserial(check your default python version)
- Select Tools » Boards » Wiphone » Wiphone arduino
- compile with (CTRL+r)
custom mods
The provided repo contains patches and a semi-automated build/upload process to create your own custom binary (without opening the Arduino IDE)
- LoRa frequency settings
- FSBrowser "app" (work in progress)
