Wardriver Rev3 Shade Mod

You may already know the Wardriver.uk Rev3 from wardriver.uk i modded the Case, Software and removed the GSM Module and added the 5GHZ BW16 Module with IPEX.

Summary:

  • Added Support for 1.3″ I2C 128x64px Display with the Adafruit compatible SH1106 library.
  • Rearranged the Text to fit the bigger display.
  • Added the BW16 IPEX Module for 5GHZ WiFi
  • Added a bigger (25x25mm) ceramic GPS antenna
  • Modded the 3D printable case to house the GPS antenna and the 5GHZ antenna

You can find most of the changed hardware on Aliexpress.

You’ll find the modified software on my Github, keep in mind the software is not polished for the moment. I try to be in sync with the original wardriver.uk Firmware. The new case is also available on Github for now.

DIY Autonomous HomeLink for Tesla

My garage door is dumb and I searched for a way to make it a bit more intelligent, one way is to buy the HomeLink Module for your Tesla. But still, you have to interact with it to open or close the door and its not cheap. I already have a running IOBroker installation for different home automation things, TeslaMate and a big Zigbee installation at home, so i have a good base to start here.

Attention: You have to be familiar with Tasmota, MQTT, IOBroker (or similar), Zigbee (or similar), basic wiring and soldering! This is definitely nerd stuff and not for the average Tesla driver out there, you’ll need some kind of insanity to complete this tutorial 😉

GY-GPS6MV2 on Pwnagotchi

With the current available latest Release of Pwnagotchi, v1.5.3, it’s not possible to use the UART (TC / RX) GPIOs on a Raspberry PI. Thats because of the wrong compiled Waveshare V2 Display Driver.

You have to recompile it as root with a different header file.

cd /usr/local/src/gratis/
make rpi-remove PANEL_VERSION=V231_G2
make rpi-clean PANEL_VERSION=V231_G2
make rpi PANEL_VERSION=V231_G2 EPD_IO=epd_io_free_uart.h
make rpi-install PANEL_VERSION=V231_G2 EPD_IO=epd_io_free_uart.h

After installing the new driver, reboot and your UART Pins should be available again.

HomeMatic IP AccessPoint

Edit 12.12.2020: Nach einem Softwareupdate und dem Stand vom Oktober (Kann man über die UART Schnittstelle des APs rausbekommen) scheint nun auch ein DHCP Relay kein Problem mehr zu sein.

Kurzer Hinweis, für alle die verzweifeln. Der HomeMatic IP Access Point kann nicht mit DHCP Relays umgehen! Ein Relay an einem VLAN Interface z.b. bei OPNSense funktioniert nicht mit dem AccessPoint. Auch wenn sonstige Endgeräte damit kein Problem haben…

Erst ein DHCP Server direkt im VLAN, verrichtet seinen Job dann auch mit dem Stück deutscher Herstellungskunst.

Software made in Germany!

Ich würde euch allerdings sowieso empfehlen, EQ-3 bzw. Homematic Geräte zukünftig zu meiden: https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=54492

Ender 5, SKR Mini E3, BLTouch, Octoprint (+512k)

For those, with that combination at home and searched for a simple and structured setup without many visible cables floating around: Thats for you!

I’ve integrated the RPI (3b), the power supply for it (230v AC to 5v DC 2A) and a 24v to 5v buck converter in the stock housing of the ender 5, as a bonus without a USB cable outside 😉

Anet A8 Board Version 1.5 und Marlin Firmware

Falls jemand auch in den “Genuss” kam einen Anet A8 Drucker zu erwerben, welcher Out of the Box keine Sicherheitsfunktionen wie “Thermal Runaway” etc besitzt. Dem sei gesagt, wenn ihr eine Mainboard Revision 1_5 (1.5) habt, ist es gar nicht so einfach Marlin oder eine andere Custom Firmware zu flashen. Der Grund scheint hier wohl ein defekter oder zu großer Bootloader zu sein.

Ich habe nun einige Tage damit verbracht, herauszufinden warum es nicht auf dem normalen Weg mit der Arduino IDE nicht klappt. Am Ende bin ich dazu übergegangen, das ganze mit einem ISP Programmer zu erledigen. Was anfangs auch nicht ganz einfach war, ich komme nicht aus der Microcontroller Welt ,)

Das erste mal Vodafone (Mobil)! (Update 16.07)

Moin Folks!

Lange hatte ich kein passenden Thema für einen Blogpost. LineageOS hat sich auch mehr ins XDA Forum verschoben, OS X Betas hier machen irgendwie keinen Sinn mehr, nachdem Apple Public Betas anbietet.

Jetzt hab ich ein ganz anderes Thema, ich muss es mir einfach von der Seele reden (schreiben). Denn an der Hotline, kann ich nur mit einer ganz schlecht gemachten Alexa sprechen die mich immer abweist 🙁
Ihr merkt schon Yet Another Customer Report… Gähn. Jaja aber der hier hat schon fast Abenteuercharakter, glaubt mir 😉

Vorgeschichte, ich war lange Kunde bei der Telekom im Bereich Mobilfunk, danach bei Congstar. Hatte bei Congstar auch eigentlich nie Probleme aber die Ansprüche wachsen hald mit zunehmenden Alter! Ich war zwar Altkunde mit PostPaid und LTE aber hald bekannt mageren Geschwindigkeiten und eher weniger inkl. Volumen. Also mal umgeschaut und da bin ich bei Vodafone hängen geblieben. Vor einigen Wochen mal auf der Homepage mit einem Kundenberater gechattet und mal ausgelotet was da so geht.

Xiaomi Mi5 Cyanogenmod 13

mi5I got one of this very nice mobiles. Snapdragon 820, 3GB RAM, 32GB Storage and all of this with a tiny pricetag of around 350 Euro (Shopped from Honorbuy). The only thing i don’t like is the Miui ROM…. typical chinese features and a iOS like UI, hey i bought a Android!

So the “Level Zen” Developers 😉 from XDA came together and created the Device Tree for it – There is no kernel source released so far, so they have to use the prebuild Xiaomi kernel.

 

 

Disclamer: I only show you how to use that device tree to build a fully working ROM! If you want to donate, you directly should do it to the developers of the device tree! My programming skills are way to low to contribute code :/

If you trust me, you can download my daily, weekly or whatever builds (Depends on how often the device tree and / or Cyanogenmod gets updates) directly from > here < and install it via TWRP.

In case somebody wants to build Cyanogenmod 13 for it, keep reading! But before get a fast and large  (!) cloud instance or bare metal server! It takes ages to compile when you don’t have a powerful host! I can recommend Vultr for it. I won’t cover the Ubuntu installation here, you should already know that.

  1. Do a openssh only installation of Ubuntu 16.04
  2. Login with your created user and let’s begin!

PrivacyIDEA – 2nd Factor made easy!

privacyIDEA1Have you ever searched for a good, secure, not complex, customizable and cheap 2nd factor implementation?

Stop searching!

PrivacyIDEA is one of the candidates i searched for a long long time… i already dealt with RSA, Kobil, Stonesoft, GoogleAuth (own build solution) and much more. I can now say, this is the most perfect solution for all your 2nd factor authentication needs. The most important part is, its OpenSource and everybody can check if there is some bug or backdoor and (!) its perfectly customizable!

It has all the plugins for Apps that you already love to use and already use in your daily work. FreeRadius, PAM, Nginx, Apache2, OpenVPN, Typo3 and much more!

It can be used with a lot of authentication mechanism, TOTP (Software or Hardware based), HOTP (Software or Hardware based), Email, Yubikey, and much much more! The interesting part is, you can also use your existing LDAP server (Microsoft, OpenLDAP and simliar) or local flat file (Linux Passwd) to map users to your 2nd factor tokens.

I used it with TOTP Software or Feitian Token in a MySQL Master-Master Active/Active setup with FreeRadius to authenticate users (Very large userbase!) for VPN on our Cisco ASA. It works as expected and so far without a single problem.

Give it a try if you ever searched for a cheap (Get commercial support if you use it in your company!), OpenSource, flexible and easy to use 2nd factor solution, you will not be disappointed.

PS: No, this is not a sponsored or paid article! I’m really convinced of this software!
