I have not been able to do much on this still. I have a repo on github which is a work in progress. The aim is to get a web interface on the rpi so it easy to upgrade the firmware, but that's a while away (really busy with work). There is info on how to make a cable so at least you can make one...

I'm currently writing the UI in flask. Would you recommend that or something else.

I have been pretty busy with work lately so I haven't had much time to work on this. I work in IT but not in development so it's slow going making this thing. I'll try to get something uploaded to github soon

Using 1.1.26 right now, so not with the registration part. Although I don't think it would be too hard to get it working with 1.1.27. When its on 1.1.27, the BM sends a DNS lookup for speidel.com (which I just return 127.0.0.1), then it does a http post to 127.0.0.1 with the email address. I...

ahh finally got the BM to reply to http requests from the rpi! ill work on a web interface for it now.

Ah ok. Yeah I might I'll re visit that software and see if it will help

Yeah I have seen that. I can't justify $200 for a wifi module so I'm trying to get a pi to replace the whole thing. Which a bit different the what's available now

Yeah tbh I'm not sure if it matters that much. I was on 1.1.25 and I tried to send a button press to it via http, but I could not get a response from the BM. Now on 1.1.27 when I press the register button, the BM sends a http request to the rpi should be passed on to the speidel site. It is...

Yeah still working on it. The wifi controller acts kind of like a server to the BM. I am able to reply to BM requests easily enough but it's proving difficult to send unsolicited requests to the BM ( like when you send a http request to the BM to press a button on it)

ah ok. i just updated it from 1.1.25 to 1.1.27 and it now has a register feature. is 1.1.27 what you are referring to?

So just an update to anyone interested. I was pretty much spot on with the guess of the wifi module being a RS-9110 from redpine signals. I have been able to figure out the pinout of the connector and successfully connect to the BM and assign it an ip address with a python script. The next task...

Whats the consensus on bringing a friend? I am keen to come and I have a mate who would like to as well. Also how does to food work at old field's? is it just snacks or is there are place to cook sausages?

Yeah someone has made a web front end for the wifi module but no one has tried to reverse engineer the wifi module or the protocol. My guess is that when the module is plugged in and powers on, it sends a connect packet to the BM. The hard part is working out what that is without a wifi...

I have been trying to figure out how to make a raspberry pi based wifi module for the BM. so far I have figured out the pinout for the UART port on the BM and I can connect a PC to the BM. When I connect the BM to the PC the lights turn green ready for the firmware to be uploaded. I dont have a...
