Airview raw data

[rmichael]

Since Airview is a COM port device it's pretty trivial to operate it withough any programming (though terminal). So far I figured out begin scan and end scan commands...

Could UBNT post all the commands?


thank you!

Hello,

At this time we do not plan to release any information in regards to this.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello,

We do not have plans for this to be an open development board.

I do apologize

Thanks,

Airview is pretty useless today, making it open source or at least provide a sdk is your only chance to make it a successful product. In the meantime I can't recommend this device to my customers it isn't worth the money, sorry

There are several $10,000 solutions you could offer your customers.

The Bumblebee family starts at $5,000 as a Compaq iPac module add-on.

Again that's a useless answer. I"m a wireless professional and I use professionnal tools. My customers just want to use it time to time to do basic troubleshooting when something's wrong, and they will not buy a 5.000$ spectrum analyser. However between a device that costs 80 euros with, at least today very limited features and poor evolutivity an other one that costs 190 euros but shows better functionnality and performance they prefer to pay the extra $$$. SO again it is a matter of setting expectations and without a sdk i don't see a future to Airview

If you want to roll your own you can build one yourself:

Airview is usefull for quick and dirty scan for DSS equipment. It would be much more usefull however if it had waterfall graph and record and replay...

[Franck_fr]

Yeah it has been published 2 years ago in a electronics magazine here in Europe.
FYI it is easy to get some of the information you need from the runtime.log, just remember to enable ALL traces

These two feature are coming.

Does it come with instructions how how to interpret data you are presented with?

[WHT]

After UBNT gets a waterfall display, I work on a manual.

Its pretty straight forward stuff but we have a manual coming.

Thanks,

Can we post our notes here of hacking this device's serial commands if we find them?? I am programming a waterfall display. I just monitored the serial ports and found the commands that device has sent and received.

Yes, by monitoring the serial port you can reveal the secrets of any serial device, and AirView2/9 are no exceptions, but since the official policy is not to publish the API, I'd appreciate it if you didn't post it on our forum. Thank you for understanding.

And BTW, v1.1 of AirView application has a waterfall display, which is in beta testing right now and will be posted for download shortly (should be in the next week or so).

Cheers,
