Betaflight CLI, Meshtastic chat, and a reason to stop balancing a laptop on the car roof.
GNDHOG ZERO 0.1.0 runs on M5Stack Cardputer Zero with Linux. Connect a flight
controller for CLI commands, field checks, and configuration backups. Connect a
separate Meshtastic radio for chat, quick messages, and local transcripts. Add
GNSS for range, bearing, position sharing, and saved places. The hedge remains
an outdoor activity.
- FPV: command completion and history, paced restore, motor/erase confirmations,
supported VTX pit-mode guard, and FC MCU temperature warnings. - Mesh: heard-node ages, routing acknowledgement and failure states, local
chat history, compass-assisted Locate, and session-only opt-in position sharing. - Release cleanup: current store screenshots, a shorter user guide, complete
packaged documentation, and the audio libraries declared where installers can find them.
Download bfcli_0.1.0_arm64.deb, copy it to the Cardputer, and install there:
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends ./bfcli_0.1.0_arm64.debOpen GNDHOG ZERO in APPLaunch. Set the switch to HOST and use a USB-A
data cable. Props off for FC bench work. A restored configuration needs
save to persist. Closing serial does not cut USB or battery power. Mesh SOS
does not contact emergency services or guarantee delivery.

scenarios; 847 ARM64/QEMU checks and 847 native Cardputer self-tests passed, along with package policy checks. These checks
do not establish flight-controller, radio, compass, or physical UI acceptance.
