natehuby76Nate’s Galaxy companion
iPhone app for StarPilot’s Galaxy interface. Uses local Wi-Fi first, with encrypted Bluetooth fallback. Screens are saved for offline use and updated from Nate/galaxy-bluetooth.
Setup
Open ios/GalaxyBluetooth.xcodeproj, select your signing team and iPhone, then Run. On comma 4, open Settings → Bluetooth → Pair phone. Scan its code in the app and select the comma. The bridge installs automatically on the first parked boot with internet access.
Connection
Galaxy screens → native transport → LAN HTTP or encrypted BLE → Galaxy on comma.
Local settings work without internet. Downloads and online maps still need internet on the device handling them. Remote cellular access and automatic hotspot activation are not implemented.
The Bluetooth bridge uses a shared key, session challenges and request counters. Forget paired phones replaces the key for all phones. Setting changes are never replayed automatically. LAN uses Galaxy’s existing HTTP endpoint; its device-ID check prevents accidental mixups but does not add TLS or authentication.
Status
iOS build, bridge tests and routing/update checks pass. Bluetooth startup after reboot was verified on the pilot comma. Camera scanning, revoke/re-pair and network switching still need hardware checks.
See validation and upstream notices.
Comma 3X: phone pairing is available in Bluetooth settings. The bridge and capture hooks are shared; physical 3X testing is pending. bridge/probe.py reports Bluetooth and encoder compatibility without credentials. See ios/QUICK-START.md.
Automatic bridge setup
The pilot's manager runs bootstrap.py on comma. First parked boot installs the
bridge in its own environment; later boots reuse it. Dependency changes are
installed while parked. Bluetooth settings show setup status and Retry setup.
settings_backup.py saves one private parameter/cache snapshot before existing
launch migrations. Setup never resets StarPilot parameters or pairing keys.
Do not share the backup; it contains credentials. See INSTALL-ON-COMMA.md.
