What if we just add the device from the upload header to the rows on the site, instead of all this complication? Won’t identify non-CSV uploads, but that’s a vanishingly small percentage these days.
Seeing the addition of the device type in the Uploads display tip-out this morning -- nice! I like it.

Follow-on question: how do the 'device' entries correlate to the valuse shown in the Stats > Octet/Channel/File > "Type" table on the far right? I can see the phone models go under Stats > Android. Are the JHewitt's all "wardriver.uk-mod"? Where do the AtomGPS and other newer variants appear?

this all depends on how the software implementer fills out the "pre-header" in the CSV. One could even customize it if with the JHewitt and AtomGPS boards!

Cool, current code for the M5 Atoms has been using "model=AtomWigler" and "device=M5ATOMGPS" since 1.4.
The values were "model=GPS Kit" and "device=M5ATOM" in Lozaning's original code up through 1.3 mods by Luke, which I have one device still running.

Should be lots of files uploaded with both of those.

JHewitt's code catches the various device types and populates model and device with "wardriver.uk rev# {mod info}" as appropriate for related mods.

I'm way outside WigleWifi suggestions now, sorry for the thread hijack.

Hello,

It would be great to have an option that would allow the user to see the channel frequency of an AP (e.g. 2.437 MHz) or the channel number (e.g. from 1 to 13 in the 2.4 GHz range) as it used to be the case with the former versions, depending on the user preference.

Despite the fact I have large knowledge about radio stuff and therefore frequencies, it is sometimes (very) tricky to recognize which frequency is assigned to which channel.
A kind of "converter" option would be very useful.

Thanks,
C.D.
this was a tough decision, since channel numbers are more convenient, but increasingly less useful. On the list view (the one we assume you're talking about), there's very limited screen real-estate, we decided "at least frequencies are 'sure'" whereas channel numbers are increasingly useless with all the new standards. We could also consider adding it on screens "when it fits" instead of replacing frequency?

Honestly, the hardest thing about adding a preference is translating it into 30 languages. ;)
