LuCI always displays txpower correctly. That patch allows to actually set txpower in fixed mode from uci.

I believe the best answer is the fact they are now marketing booster for vision (non-plus) without mentioning anything they told during development. All the native libraries, algorithms, custom protocols, not-boosting-txpower, not-using-ssh and stuff turned to be just some wifi tweaks. Quite...

That's correct, this feature is documented quite well for madwifi here, it's pretty much the same for atheros via mac80211.

I was out of the city last weekend and had a chance to fly with long line-of-sight conditions, so I've bought FPV Booster again to record this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flLiLxVWCLA Last telemetry reading with default settings + 5dBm in LuCI -- 735.9m. Last telemetry reading with...

There is archive linked in my previous post, it contains PDF which describes all the code in phantom-side and repeater-side binaries, step by step. It also contains IDBs for these binaries and fully decompiled code of phone-side part. I believe that's pretty much covers every line of code in...

That's because of a small glitch in /lib/wifi/mac80211.sh, it applies "txpower fixed" value to IF instead of PHY, even if it's located in the radio section of config. While this should work as well, in fact it's acting like "txpower limit" is applied, i.e. txpower is set automatically between 0...

As for my plans, I'm not planning to release any commercial software. I'm going to try a few things and if any of them prove itself useful -- it will be released for free with source code available.

I believe I've waited long enough. Claiming that "Interference Control Algorithm" is "some additional tweaks", being a step towards telling all the truth about the program, still does not count as apologies, so I have to keep my word. http://www.filedropper.com/boosters In the linked file you...

Update on the booster for vision (non-plus): App shares a lot of code with v+ and uses the very same concept, but now it also changes tx power on the repeater. :) Phantom-side binary is now called 'fpvmonitor'. It's the same 'fpvbooster' from v+, it has the same size and checksum, but now its...

set distance line is only published in this topic :) anyway it's better to issue these two commands as single with && because ssh connection usually gets dropped after changing tx power and the second command likely has no chance to execute.

I'll do a few more posts here first. Secrets of the new and shiny booster for vision are not uncovered (I bet there's nothing new though) and sources for everything are not published yet.

Wow, I should have taken a break a time ago as this discussion goes way more productive without me. :) I'm currently in a middle of a short travel and I don't have a laptop, so I'll answer without properly quoting previous pages. Can the distance really be further improved? A have an idea...

And that's why I've published all the technique and free code, right? To compete better? Oh dear. I've spent less than an hour doing all the disassembling (and it's mostly due to relatively rare MIPS CPU), it's not a big deal for me. It's like a lot of unix administrators will look at the...

The difference is I've provided a checkable proof for my words. I do understand that's count as proof for a few, most people can't read MIPS16 assembler. However, most people have a geek friend who do (or can at least resemble call sequence by looking at it). So if you don't know what to believe...

There's tar with sample shell scripts a couple of pages ago. They're obviously open source and very short, so you can read them before executing to be sure they're not doing anything funny. See for yourself is there any practical difference.
