Lots of new features!

 

 

After comms started working in the last post, a lot of work has gone into adding features on top of it in an effort to uncover bugs but also of course because we want to use it! In the screenshot above you can see a remote and an agent connected where the remote sees the camera feed from agent as well as the position on the map.

Here you can see the mapview on the remote showing agents grouping, waypoints and more.

 

We also worked on other aspects of the apps in parallel such as the automatic building and injecting of ArduMY firmware into controller boards attached over USB:

 

 This is just scratching the surface. So many important side quests for improving code quality, cleaning out legacy stuff, consolidating, removing duplication and antiquated architectures just left and right.

The project is moving really fast towards an actual MVP. 

Eureka! Comms are working!

 It has been a hot minute since the comms protocol in OctoMY™ worked last time.  I believe it was before the v2 refactor many years ago.

 

But today I fixed it! It felt so freaking good, it reminded me why I like programming. It is unforgiving, but when you finally get it right the feeling is amazing. 

 Now remains some polishe before we might be ready for MVP :-D

 

OctoMY™ 10th Year Anniversary 2026!

To celebrate OctoMY's 10th anniversary, we have unveiled the updated website!

Most of the good stuff is under the hood, but we also put in some effort on the style and layout this time around. The screenshot below does not do it justice, so please visit now!

 

Happy anniversary!
