@PawelK I outshined their efforts once before and now I'm going to do it again. Oh and the code was Apache License v2.0 so I could call them out. I don't know when I released the first version but the second was on 4/20/2021 a few people in that group have published code since then.

I'm not going to go through official channels for that. I will beat them to functional and open source wifi, post and let them know so they can publicly copy my work or continue to write their own. I'm considering using Mr. Lee's work as a base for this.

I checked again and these are the people I had trouble with before. I'm going to go ahead and work on this code. I hope that I am able to get this out before they do. I'm not doing any Reverse Engineering with this. My code will be unquestionably pure and my past involvement won't matter. This is different code.

My custom firmware project is on hold now and I'm going to finish off this BL602 wifi blob problem. I might use a different OS in the process. This has a greater effect on Free Software than my previous project and therefore it is my priority.

I'll give it up soon but only to a few people. It's out of respect for Mr. Lee, Mr. TL and BL that I do this. I don't know when I will get it up because I need to review it and refine it.

They would probably publicly denounce it and implement it in private if they even thought it was worthy. That's how it works. Maybe I should take a longer break from my current project and be the first to get wifi then bluetooth working on it.

I also have other ideas about the effort. Sierra Wireless is Canadian and patents might be limited for their "IP" in other countries. It's already been posted many times online. I can respect the Clean Room process but the competition has announced some insanely capable hardware that is coming soon.

I'm currently having a moral dilemma. I took a little break from my project and went back to examine my previous work on the BL602. I looked into the Nutcracker official repo and I found no reference nor honorable mentions for work that I know that I at least assisted in. No wonder my Professors acted like I did nothing of value, not being mentioned nor having work cited to me. Can't put that on a CV.

So I continued to read through the repo. All is fair in love and war.
I'm fairly confident that I have a way to get wifi working on the BL602 but it will take time to get correct. Do I turn the information over to the same people who'd rather take credit for everything or just keep it to myself?

@Stemist Nice pun.

@Placholdr There are several explanations but it just works and is a well established property of Factorials. It's been hotly debated but still remains.

@Stemist It would be worth the money, I swear that guitars gain character as they age. Even that old American Strat had a golden tone but it was also the unmodified version of what Van Halen used and the same with the Amp. The church also had a Hammond b2. It was a Pentecostal Church so every service was a jam band practice. XD

Once again I'm stricken with terrible insomnia. I think I had a good sleep 3 or 4 days ago. The passage of time is distorted and memory is running on a swap partition.

On to my project, it's going to run slow and likely at a reduced capacity. This particular MCU is going to require a lot of development to get working. I've been looking into what documentation I could find about the MCU and the firmware that I intend to port forward to it. The firmware can be flashed one piece at a time after I break whatever security I find. I also need to use a copy of Windows for some of the work and that's what I'm waiting on. Allegedly, flashing the firmware from AMD powered computers is more complicated and I might have to deal with trusted platform garbage.

The work is still progressing and I'll get it working, produce documentation and release code that I wrote.

@Stemist
Lower your play height and slowly adjust at the bridge. It sounds like the 12th is the point where the deformation to fret is either too much or too little. With the style of guitar pictured, I have little experience outside of semi hollow bodies. I played Super Strats and the knife edge bridge system.

I've also noticed different properties in fret alloys. Some are softer and others are quite tough. I've never had to refret but was able to get away with a light polishing of the frets.

@PawelK I'm a Mathematician and while the statement is true for a large set of people; a Mathematician will have the largest burden. Serendipity can make the difference between nothing and something. If Mandelbrot hadn't pursued a very odd sequence and noticed the reoccurring patterns, his work wouldn't have been seen as more than madness.

@trinsec It's more for FLOSS but yes. I've formed the Induction Hypothesis and all that remains is to prove it from the base case to i + 1.

I guess it is actually for Science. Previous attempts with this were largely performed by academia.

I believe that my original goal was to document how the flashing of firmware takes place on harddrives and I'll definitely be doing this with code.

A Mathematician once said that being a Mathematician was similar to bipolar disorder. At times, one feels like a complete idiot and unable to grasp what they are after. Other times, one feels like they have reached a new level of conciousness after a discovery.

I'm going to get all the information off my test drive and do some more investigating.

Next I will begin to port existing open source firmware to the S11.

Finally I will go full send and use a flashing tool, or perhaps make my own to keep it FLOSS, to flash the experimental firmware to the drive.

I believe that I have enough information to make it functional. I'm going to need to adapt everything to work in Linux too. If I mess up, then I will learn even more.

If I had to estimate how much is done, I would have to say that I'm approximately 60% ready to flash.

I recently realized that my project could be extended to more MCUs than I intended. It's within my ability and I don't see a reason why I shouldn't continue.

Not much progress on my project today but I did manage to fix my PocketCHIP. It is perhaps the most powerful flashing tool that I have.

@lupyuen Very good!
