wifibroadcast-22.09

This release include major protocol changes and incompatible with previous releases.

Changes:

  1. Added WFB-ng standard draft. We announce standard draft for long-range data transmission via raw wifi radio.
  2. WFB-ng now supports multiple links out of box. You can use one GS for multiple drones control (channel bandwidth will be shared between all of them)
  3. Added missing libsodium init. You will be warned if not enough entropy is available.
  4. WFB-ng wifi cards now will be automatically set to unmanaged state in NetworkManager during service startup. No need to add them manually to NetworkManager.conf anymore.
  5. LDPC now enabled by default due to most of the setups use rtl8812au cards. If you use Ralink or Atheros cards you need to disable it in config file.
  6. Added project logo.

Raspberry PI 3B ready to use image:

  • This image was tested on RPI3b + Alfa AWUS036ACH + PI Camera. Use native ("thick") USB3 cable from this card. If you have issues with different HW setup then try to test this setup first before issuing bugreport.
  • OSD will not work on RPI4 due to dropped OpenVG support.
  • If you use high-power cards like "taobao card" then you must use external high-current power supply and low-esr capacitor on the card. Don't power them from USB!
