Hey there, developers! Welcome back to RuView, where we dive into the daily journey of building something amazing. I'm your host, and wow, do we have an exciting episode today! Grab your favorite caffeinated beverage because we're talking about some really meaty changes that just landed in the RuView codebase.
Let's start with the big story - we just merged pull request 325, and friends, this one is a game-changer. This PR tackled not one, but two critical issues that were making life difficult for anyone trying to deploy RuView in real-world environments.
First up, issue 321 - the dreaded watchdog crash. Picture this: you've got your ESP32 nodes happily humming along in your home lab, everything's working great. Then you deploy to a corporate environment with a busy LAN, and suddenly - boom! Watchdog crashes everywhere. What was happening? The CSI callbacks were…
But wait, there's more! Issue 323 was equally frustrating - you'd see your ESP32 nodes showing as "connected" in the UI, but the person count stubbornly stayed at zero. Turns out, when ESP32 nodes run the edge processing pipeline, they send these special vitals packets instead of raw CSI frames. The server was…
The…
