radio_tool v0.2.1 is out! You can use it to flash the Yaesu FT-70D, Ailunce HD1 and all the other OpenRTX targets! 😁 Available for all the OSes!

Thanks to the great work of Joe VK7JS, OpenRTX now has voice prompts for vision-impaired people! The feature is available on MD-380 and MD-UV380, but will be extended to the other targets soon! 😁 @BlindHams

We ❤️ Open Source, and not only on radio firmware! That's why we just joined Mastodon. Our updates will be cross-posted, so you can get them on the platform you prefer! Follow us on Mastodon: mastodon.radio/@openrtx

New week, new hardware! IU3POA has created BB Hat, a hat for the STM32 BlackBoard that runs OpenRTX and can (de)modulate M17 when combined with an analog radio! Bonus: all the components are through-hole so this one is easy to source, solder and hack! @M17project #hamradio #foss

From today, G-NiceRF is producing SA868 “open edition”, this variant is blank and can be reprogrammed freely to enable M17 and other digital modes! UHF: a.aliexpress.com/_mP5z5EG VHF: a.aliexpress.com/_mNLKxyC All our gratitude goes to Amo BD4VOW! 🙏

First Hello World by OpenRTX built with Zephyr RTOS! 🎉🎉🎉 This will enable T-TWR and Quansheng UV-K5 ports!

T-TWR Plus Open Edition running OpenRTX. This platform will be able to modulate arbitrary digital protocols, including M17 without hardware mods! ESP32 has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so there is great potential for experimentation 🚀 LILYGO M17 Project

Pietro designed a beautiful and functional 3D printable case for the T-TWR Plus. Firmware development is going fast, so pretty soon we'll have a complete M17-enabled radio! LILYGO M17 Project

Support for T-TWR Plus is now merged in our main branch! The radio can Tx and Rx in FM, even the GPS is working! Future updates will bring Bluetooth LE KISS TNC capabilities to enable sending APRS packets! LILYGO aprs.fi APRSdroid #hamradio #amateurfunk #foss
