(Michaela Wheeler) WebHorus and WebWenet are entirely browser based implementations of the Horus and Wenet radio demodulators which are commonly used for receiving amateur high altitude balloon telemetry and imagery. By producing web versions of these tools, it has significantly lowered the barrier of entry to set up a receiver. It's even possible to receive on a mobile phone connected to a USB software defined radio!
We'll be running through how we compiled the C applications into Python modules, built the Python modules for WebAssembly and finally how they are called from JavaScript. No server involved. Packaged into a progressive web app that even works offline.
