Thank you to everyone who tested 1.2.0 during the beta period.

Known issues

• It may not be possible to install OTA updates to Side B if your device has hardware issues affecting the serial communication. This issue appears to be rare.
• You may be prompted to install an already-installed update for Side B if you installed it manually (with Arduino IDE, esptool, etc) or after performing a factory reset. This will stop happening once you install any update for Side B using the OTA function.
• This release is based on ESP board version 2.0.12 and does not compile on ESP board version 3.x. Please use 2.0.12 when compiling manually (with Arduino IDE etc). This will be addressed in the next release.

Installing

Please update both A and B when upgrading to 1.2.0.

If you are currently running a beta release between 1.2.0b1 and 1.2.0b5, it is recommended to install this manually since you may have OTA update problems.

You can install this update without compiling it yourself, click here for instructions.

v1.2.0rc2

Release Candidate version 1.2.0rc2

This version is not yet considered stable due to lack of testing.

No additional features are planned for v1.2.0.

Changes since 1.2.0rc1:

Add current epoch value to B reset log lines: #155
Fixed a bug which prevents automatic WiGLE uploads after factory reset: #152
Fixed a bug which causes new data to be appended to old capture files after factory reset: #154
Fixed 2 instances of Side B threads not acquiring a lock on serial communication, potentially causing corruption: #143

Important note for users on previous betas:

Many of the previous releases contained issues with OTA updates. This release has no known problems which can prevent OTA updates from being installed on devices free of hardware faults. It is recommended to install this update manually if you are experiencing problems updating. Please ensure you update both A and B.

v1.2.0b4

Beta Release version 1.2.0b4

This version is a beta and is not yet considered to be stable.

Changes since 1.2.0b3:

• Fix hash generation on B by @CoD-Segfault in #98
• BW16 5GHz mod support for Rev3 (documentation still pending) in #99

Direct WiGLE upload feature*

You can now directly upload your captures to WiGLE and see basic stats about uploaded captures within the web interface of the Wardriver. This feature requires an API key from your WiGLE account which can be found at wigle.net/account and then by clicking "show token". Be sure to copy the one stating "Encoded for use" in full.

Important note for users on previous betas:

Multiple issues have been identified in each version which can cause OTA update problems. You may see "Hash mismatch failed" when attempting to update the firmware of "B". This problem could potentially go away with future releases and may not affect everybody. You may install this update manually if this problem persists.

Important note for users on v1.2.0b1:

Version v1.2.0b1 contains a bug which prevents OTA updates from working. To install this update, either perform it manually (using Arduino IDE or esptool), or follow the workaround documented in #86

An additional bug in 1.2.0b1 could cause invalid checksums to be generated, this may mark updates as invalid even when they are not. Both of these issues are fixed in b2 and this release.

Known issues

• You may not be able to update to a non-beta release over-the-air automatically.
• Release candidate versions may not be discovered correctly by the over-the-air functionality.
• Device boot may be slower if cfg.txt is on the SD card.
• Updates to B may indicate a newer version is available, even when there isn't.
