Open-source tools for ham radio, mesh networks and video, all on GitHub.

Ham radio

Asterisk Tone Builder

  • Stock AllStarLink and classic courtesy-tone presets
  • Morse CW ID tone generator
  • Shareable links

MeshPotato

A chat bot for MeshCore mesh radio networks, running on a Raspberry Pi with a companion radio. It answers ping and test, shows who’s about, keeps a mailbox for people out of range, and posts Met Office weather, aurora alerts and radio conditions.

  • Signal and route checks
  • Offline mailbox
  • Weather, sky and band conditions
  • Scheduled posts
Video

FFmpeg Web GUI

A PHP front end for FFmpeg: upload a video and convert it to HTML5 formats (MP4/H.264, WebM, Ogg) with control over size, bit rate, frame rate, de-interlacing and audio. It also grabs stills to use as poster images.

  • Fine-tune FFmpeg options in a form
  • Generates poster stills
  • Outputs ready-made HTML5 player markup
