MD 380 hacked version updates as released!

[MaximusTheGreat]

Please post any updates from Github or other sources on hacked versions of MD 380 tools and its features. Include dates of release or when you updated. Along with whatever change log you noticed.

Hopefully we can keep it organized in 1 place.

The master source for the MD-380/390 alternative firmware is Travis Goodspeed's github. All of the other sites are mirrors. Some mirror sites automatically build the bin file so you don't have to, but that is it.

 

[MaximusTheGreat]

Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe they're developers out there that add/modify features to his original work.

For example, the latest build that I am aware of has a change log that includes the dimmer feature in the menu. The update prior to that one, has a the mic bar graph displayed on the screen when talking. Then it was the background color changed to the csv file information displayed when s user keyed up etc..

For me at least, I don't always find out when an update is made. I usually find out when I do a search on YouTube. Even then, the info is very scarce as to where to get the update and what pro/cons it may have. That's why I decided to start a thread on this.

Not in most cases. P0DRY and foxhollow both have automated processes to check Travis' github and automatically recompile the bin file if an update is available. Pretty much all the actual development is happening at github, not the mirror sites.

Good to know... Now I can actually go to 1 site and get the straight scoop.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! [emoji106] [emoji106]

Ive been running the backlight on low all the time, very nice feature update.

The back light settings in " radio settings " aren't working correctly. Also in the tools the back light doesn't time out either.
