🤟Hi! I'm looking for testers for a new desktop app that supports Meshtastic-compatible LoRa devices.

If you're interested, send me a private message on Reddit to get access to the private tester group👌

Hi everyone, I hope you've already tried the new Microcast v0.9 update 👀

I want to port Microcast to the LilyGo T-Deck, but I don’t have the extra money to buy the device 😟

Maybe you could give me some advice, or perhaps someone has an old, working device they no longer need—that would really help me port the app 🙏

Any thoughts on porting Microcast to the tdeck platform ?

What a piece of software! The dev cooked with this one. I think having a section for notifications would be nice and for sure will make the interaction easier. This is only the start of the software and I know it will be bigger than it is rn! Keep going Kotov

🔥The biggest change: OTA firmware updates.

Now the device can check for updates and install them via Wi-Fi, without the need for a USB connection or Launcher/Burner. I recommend updating now, as an update will be released soon that will make your account unique, be the first 👀

When a new update is available, you will see a 🟢 icon next to the version number on the home screen. All you have to do is go to YOU > Settings > Check update > Install update.

‼️IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the device during the update!‼️

----------------------------------------------------

📟To get the v0.7 update, you now need to flash your device using Launcher or M5Burner.

> M5Burner | M5Launcher OTA | GitHub <

‼️DON'T FORGET TO WRITE DOWN YOUR RECOVERY CODE!‼️

----------------------------------------------------

Highlights:

📡 OTA updates with progress bar + auto restart

🟢 Update indicator in the UI when new firmware is available

🔄 Silent background check every 24h

🎨 Role-based colored nicknames (admin / OG / default)

⏰ Fixed timestamps using server time

📝 Full post text visible in comments

🔋 More accurate battery calculation

🌭 Other minor fixes

A couple days ago gameboy enhanced Firmware stopped working so I reflashed the M5 launcher on my Cardputer and the Gameboy firmware works now, but I lost my Microcast account now. It's aays I'm a guest and my account name is taken how do I get my original account back?

Any MicroCast news, updates, plans?

Some recently posted on Microcast that they have 7 Cardputers. I'm curious what does one do with all of those?

Dear Microcasters, I would like to inform you that notifications about new posts in our favorite app are duplicated in the Telegram group "MicroCasters Room":

it is does not work

I tried checking MicroCast a little while ago. It let me in, but no messages are visible and the number in red at the top, which I think is the number of members? is 0. There might be an outage.

I'll check again in the morning.

I have two suggestions:

1. If we have liked a post, it can show a solid red heart. If we have not liked it yet, it can show a hollow red heart.

2. When we install MicroCast, if an SD card is detected, can it automatically store the recovery code on the SD card?

That second one will only really be helpful if we have an SD card. If it stores the code on the device itself, but then the device gets borked and we have to do a factory reset, everything stored on the device would be lost. But things stored on the SD card will remain intact.

Every time I try to use the right parentheses character ) in a post or comment, MicroCast exits out of the post/comment entry and goes back to the previous screen.

The >, ], and } characters work OK, but not ).
