While it wasn't complete success, I learned a lot about GNU Radio, Meshtastic, and even tracking airplanes with ADS-B! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_lb...

If You're Into IoT Hacking, You Should Read This Book! If you're into IoT hacking then you should definitely read this book, even though it's not about hacking at all! I first came across the third edition of Mastering Embedded Linux Development last yea...

Tau5 will use SQLite for its storage.

Tau5 file saves will be a single SQLite db file that contains all the composition information and also embedded assets such as samples and data riffs.

Sharing your live coded masterpiece is going to be as simple as sharing a single file.

"But I have realistic expectations" - cool, multiply them by 3

"It can't be that bad" - sweet summer child, multiply them by 10
