November 2022 Monthly Update - Written: 30 November 2022
A monthly update on what I have been up to in November 2022.
Hello! This month, we have an update on last month’s project and a nixos issue that needs some help
Pico Doomsday Messenger Update
As you will know if you read some of my other blog posts, I have been working on a project called the Pico Doomsday Messenger. I have made a lot of progress on it, and the latest addition is an interface for sending messages! If you want to track how it is going, you can see the project on my github page or in my other blog posts about this. Also, help is wanted in fixing issue #1: Getting the LoRaWAN module to work! There is a library in CircuitPython that works with the module, and a JavaScript library that might work with the module, so I am sure that it is possible to get it working in TinyGo.If you can help, please do! I would love to get this project finished!
NixOS Issue
I love to develop games, especially using Unity, so I was disappointed when I discovered that support for Unity and Unity Hub is very lacking in NixOS - the current OS of my laptop. Recently however, I discovered this nixpkgs issue which helped create this pull request, which updates the old Unity Hub package from 2.3.2 all the way to 3.3.0. I have tested it and it works very well! However, it is not yet merged into the main branch of nixpkgs. I would love to see this merged, so if you are a NixOS user, please help out!
