Yay, WiPhone!

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:

  • ackspace.nl fake NAPTR (hardcoded IP)
  • fix fiddly unlock (mentioned here)

Work in progress:

  • LoRa menu (currently crashes the phone, don't use)


notes

#define RF95_FREQ 868.0 (See this (somewhat sparse) issue)
  • enable UDP by adding u=UDP_SIP to an account in data/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.ino using 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)
