Good morning, this is RuView for June 3rd, 2026.
The team just shipped critical fixes for what appears to be a widespread hardware compatibility crisis that was undermining the project's credibility.
The biggest story is firmware compatibility. Pull request 906 identified why users with display-less ESP32 boards were getting zero packet yield - the CSI collector was filtering for management frames only, but these boards needed data frame capture. This wasn't just a minor bug. Users were flashing pre-built…
Parallel to the hardware crisis, there's been a systematic accuracy cleanup. PR 907 fixed eigenvalue-based person counting that was reporting "10 persons when 1 present" on noisy CSI data - the count wasn't bounded to match other estimators on the same single-link data. PR 919 improved error handling when users…
The documentation work tells an important story about project honesty. PR 916 completed the retraction of "100% presence accuracy" claims across all remaining docs. The team already explained this was measured on single-class overnight data where a constant "yes" predictor would score 99.98%, and they've replaced it…
Looking ahead, the firmware refresh should resolve the…
