Spotter API tool w/ GUI for Bristlemouth

[zack_j]

Check out the Bristlemouth Explorer!

Aqualink has built a really useful tool that let’s you access Bristlemouth data over the Spotter API using an API key.

You can create and select decoders and download the data as a CSV.

Thanks for sharing this resource along with the source code.

@Caesarh - what service are you using to host this site?

You inspired me to build a quick MVP for my camera project, “steal like an artist” as they say. Long term, it would be awesome to get the camera image parsing code into a pull request for your project.

In the mean time, here is a quick mock up that is working locally for my own development, but I’d like to get this hosted in the near term so others could start to build their own camera modules and see images steaming over cellular.

Hi @NickRaymomd

Hi Nick,

Thanks so much for reaching out and for the kind words about the Bristlemouth Explorer. It’s fantastic to hear that it inspired you to build an MVP for your camera project!

To answer your question, the site is hosted on Firebase.

We would absolutely welcome a pull request for the camera image parsing code. That sounds like a brilliant addition.

Please keep us updated on your progress. Feel free to open an issue on the GitHub repository to discuss the pull request details when you’re ready, or we can continue the conversation here.

Looking forward to seeing what you build!

Best,
Caesar
