Worklog [2024 Contest Entry] WavePhoenix - Open-source implementation of the Nintendo WaveBird protocol

[SkinnyFiend]

Not yet very excited for a new project though.

loopj - Repositories

loopj has 65 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

github.com

But there was an update to his gecko-cmake repo recently.

I'm planning to make the repo public this weekend or early next week.

I had some things come up that meant I had to put a pause to all projects for a while, planning on picking this back up in the new year!

 

[SkinnyFiend]

Hah, I don't think anyone would hold that against you. Life does tend to get in the way, hope everything is okay. Thanks for open-sourcing your project in the first place, it's remarkably generous!

Love the project, can't wait for the release! I was wondering if you know how well it deals with interference compared to an original Wavebird receiver? I currently live in an apartment and my Wavebird has been dropping a lot of inputs lately (tested on multiple Wavebirds with the same result), and as far as I can tell it's because the 2.4Ghz band is just so congested here. Been driving me nuts, makes my Wavebird basically unusable.

I am losing hope.

I mean he's shown the functional device

Mans is busy with his life, be patient. It exists and works (I even have a prototype of it), so there's no reason to lose hope.

How far along is the project? From the sound of it he sounds pretty far along. I only recently discovered this project and I'm fine with waiting a year of I need to, as long as it's open source.

Yea, I can understand.

Very usable, to the point that you could probably roll your own from the information in this thread and CSFworks' beautifully documented reverse engineering effort here: https://github.com/CFSworks/wavebird-reversing

Loopj has even done the work of finding a SoC that supports the Wavebird-flavoured RF comms in hardware.

Just checking up

loopj has been busy with his personal life, but I can assure you that he's still working on this project when he can. Please be patient and don't spam this thread with further comments like this.
