Flybrix

Modernization monorepo for the Flybrix DIY drone. Consolidates the firmware, the shared protocol libraries, and a single React + Vite + Tauri 2 app that replaces both legacy front-ends (the desktop Chrome App and the Cordova mobile app). The original repositories are archived as bare mirrors on the NAS; this repo is a fresh start and does not carry their git history.

Layout

• firmware/ — flight-controller firmware for the Teensy 3.2 (MK20DX256), building on a modern toolchain via PlatformIO (platformio.ini, Teensyduino 1.62 core). Snapshot of the modernized flybrix-firmware.
• packages/protocol — @flybrix/protocol: TypeScript port of flybrix-serialization (schema-DSL binary serialization) plus the protocol descriptor files (1.4–1.6).
• packages/core — @flybrix/core: TypeScript port of the flybrix-common device-communication layer — COBS framing, message router, per-firmware version handler negotiation — de-Angularized (native Promises, no $q). Exports the Transport interface (the legacy serial.Backend contract).
• apps/studio — the Tauri 2 + React + Vite app. Desktop USB serial I/O is implemented in Rust (src-tauri/src/serial.rs, serialport crate) and exposed to the webview via serial_* commands; src/transport/tauriSerial.ts adapts it to the Transport interface. A BLE transport (via tauri-plugin-blec / btleplug) is planned to cover desktop and mobile (iOS/Android), speaking the Nordic UART service — the same GATT UUIDs the legacy mobile app used.

Transport matrix

Platform	USB serial	BLE
Desktop (Win/macOS/Linux)	✅ Rust serialport	✅ tauri-plugin-blec (built; needs hardware test)
Android	—	✅ blec (built; not yet configured/tested)
iOS	— (no MFi)	✅ blec (built; not yet configured/tested)

Firmware flashing is a desktop-USB-only capability. iOS/Android are BLE-only.

Develop

pnpm install
pnpm test                 # protocol + core test suites
pnpm firmware:build       # PlatformIO firmware build (needs `pio` on PATH)
cd apps/studio && pnpm tauri dev   # desktop app

The flight board is a Teensy 3.2 (USB VID 0x16C0); the wire protocol is COBS-framed binary messages with schema negotiation — the authoritative schemas ship in packages/protocol/descriptors/.
