Installation & Safety
Both firmware versions are thoroughly tested and safe to use. The enhanced version maintains full compatibility with original hardware and can be reverted at any time.
Our commitment to the open source community drives everything we do. The enhanced firmware is completely open source, auditable, and designed to benefit the entire Bitaxe ecosystem.
"Building tools that empower the community, not control it."
We need your help to get MQTT reporting functionality adopted into the core Bitaxe firmware. Join the OSMU community and help us make external data reporting a standard feature.
