What's Changed

Wombat-OS

Libwallaby

Harrogate

  • Update bootstrap file path to wombat-os local copy

Botui

  • Event mode by @erinharrington-12 in kipr/botui#144
    • Desired use case is in large events that have many AP signals being broadcast by Wombats
    • Disables WiFi broadcasting to unclog WiFi bands/channels
    • Enables only Ethernet connection between Wombat and computer
    • Toggle switch for Event Mode in About page
    • When activated, Home page gets a different background to determine visually if Wombat is Event Mode
    • All other pages have a small "Event Mode Enabled" label at the bottom of each page
  • Remove create3 by @erinharrington-12 in kipr/botui#145
  • V31.0.0 Wombat Update by @erinharrington-12 in kipr/botui#146
  • Removed Create 3 usage as Creates are no longer used in Botball (starting 2025 season)
  • Raspberry Pi type used (3B or 3B+) displayed on About page
  • Wired Ethernet Connection
    • Enables direct wired connection between Wombat and computer
    • New IP to type in URL is 192.168.124.1:8888 to access IDE
  • Dynamic WiFi Balancing
    • Wombats with Raspberry Pi 3B+ can now flip between 2.4 GHz WiFi channel and 5 GHz
    • Toggle to do so is on Network page (Settings/Advanced/Network)
    • Wombats with Raspberry Pi 3B can only use 2.4 GHz WiFi channel
    • On each boot-up, the dynamicChannelSwitch.sh script will run
    • Script determines the AP spread on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and channels, finds the channel with the least amount of APs, and modifies the Wombat's AP connection accordingly
  • USB vs. Online Update
    • Update page now has 2 ways to update Wombat: USB or Online (Ethernet)
    • USB looks for a .zip file named wombat-os-##.#.# (version number) in root folder of USB
    • Online requires direct Ethernet connection between Wombat and an internet source

Notes

  • For USB updates
    • Versions <= 30.3.0 require the .zip to be extracted into root folder of USB so it's just a folder, not a .zip file
    • Versions >= 31.0.0 only need the .zip file
