Having the source code “unlocks” the ability for you to make your own custom firmware.. in case you want the device to do something more than it already does.
The page mentions improvements but I can't tell from the main readme what is the advantage over the stock firmware, which I found to be quite nice for my personal use.
I feel like every time this device shows up I need to yell from the rooftops how dangerous(and illegal) some of the wifi and Bluetooth attacks can be. Even if it's totally baffling WHY any safety critical devices including industrial cranes and pacemakers have consumer radios in them, that doesn't make you less responsible when you crash tons of metal into someones skull or stop someone's heart.
Cool device, and I'm not saying it should be illegal or anything, but I've met people who have zero clue with these devices and it's a bit scary.
"… or stop someone's heart." Please give an example of a pacemaker that is known to (potentially) kill the patient if the WiFi/Bluetooth is unavailable for a few minutes. I know that some modern medical devices use 2.4GHz radios for uploading telemetry, self service interfaces, etc. If such a device really exists the manufacturer should be held liable for putting a dangerous, defective product on the market.
Which pacemakers rely on ISM band communications to work?
Not doubting you (M in ISM stands for Medical, after all), just curious how it works to get from messing around on 2.4GHz to someone's ticker stopping.
Given how much of a soup ISM is already I don't know if I'd want someone's ancient cordless phone, stupid "hacker" toy, or my microwave stopping my heart.
The responsibility remains squarely with the people who developed these devices and the people who give it FCC approval.
Devices shouldn’t malfunction and handle interference gracefully. It is an FCC certification requirement and that requirement includes any interference.
