Made it a week on vacation before I borked my first #wardriver antenna. Might have got it back together proper, results will tell when we get home in a couple days!

Hey @jhewitt any thoughts on a 1.2.1 release of the #wardriver code?

I took one of my 1.2.0 (5G mod) units into the belly of the Bluetooth beast today and it was not happy. ESP-B reset-o-rama. Sadly this one is really hard to flash without total disassembly, so an official release with the BLE fixes would be great to have.

Anything we can lean in to test in the 1.2.1 prerelease to help?

Anyone more in tune with @CoD_Segfault #wardriver plans know if the v2 of their mini is going to be released online or via physical purchase at #defcon 33?

Holy Wow, @truemarmalade is just *8* APs away from 10MM on the @WiGLEnet big board

From unknown to #5 on the planet in less than 10 months

Woohoo, finished the #raceTo2M !! Two good long activities took me over the top and into position #63 on the @WiGLEnet big board.

Had the full set with today, 3 phones, 3 @jhewitt rigs, and 5 #M5Stack AtomGPS

Onward and upward!

Holy WOW fellow #wardriver, look at the progress @truemarmalade has put down in a month! More than some of me have logged in 20+ years!

@hisaac you, our new friend, are the #wardriver we need. Leisurely wanders are the groove, and make for the best coverage.

Check out www.wigle.net, look at the map for your area, fire up a phone, join the fun!

OMG @lukeswitzer this build of the @463n7_57 #wardriver is bonkers thin! Perfect timing, maiden voyage to Maine for @hardhatbrigade 24 hrs!

You look at the @jhewitt code and think “this is the perfect #wardriver rig!”

And then you see the 1.2.1 early commits working to squeeze EVERY efficiency out of the code and it’s like DAMN this is aMAZInG!

On the shoulders of giants, we stand!

Gotta be careful with these 3D printed #wardriver cases. Rubber bands holding the battery pack and natural heat made from some deformities.

One 55mb file shows the rig was running for 7 days STRAIGHT, probably not a typical use case.

Aaaaaaaah! The @lukeswitzer build @jhewitt powered #wardriver has returned from its 26 day east coast tour with my kid. It has been uploading files to @WiGLEnet for over an HOUR and it’s still not done! Psyched to see #allTheWifi

Busy #wardrive day here in the @WiGLEnet big board 80’s!

Had around 3 hours of concentrated gridding time and notched 31,417 new APs of 201,000 observed!

3 #atomgps units uploaded last managed almost 1,000 not seen by my #wispy and #wigleWiFi phones.

I think jjza and I swapped places at least twice already 😎

Holy cow #wardriver boys and girls, 1,000,000 APs with location on @WiGLEnet currently only gets you to #168 on the big board!

Watching people jumping 10 or 30 or 70 positions a month - amazing!

Second run with the @jhewitt_net @lukeswitzer #wardriver BW16 mod, this time with ALL the rigs active.

AMAZING numbers from the wardriver!

And of note, every one of the #atomGPS units found a many APs that NONE of the rest of the rigs did, even uploaded LAST.

If you haven't seen @lukeswitzer latest update for the #AtomGPS #wardriver code, check it out!

github.com/lukeswitz/AtomGPS_w

WOW! First run with 5 Atoms on the new code and my Matrix on my older code is taking numbers and kicking ass. Very consistent total counts, and even the 6th upload still reported plenty of new APs on @WiGLEnet

Need to experiment with power sources a bit to look for some variables.

Best #wardriver I’ve assembled.

2024-01-06

@ittavern That is it - a super compact WiFi #wardriver. Uses an M5Stack AtomGPS unit for all the functionality.

Concept by @lozaning, sweet code optimization by @lukeswitzer, data destined for @WiGLEnet
