ESP32-S3 CSI Node Firmware v0.4.3 — Fall Detection Fix + 4MB Flash Support

What's Fixed

False fall detection alerts (#263)

The previous firmware (v0.4.2 and earlier) triggered constant "Fall Detected" alerts during normal walking and movement. The threshold was set to 2.0 rad/s², but normal activity produces 2-5 rad/s².

This release fixes the problem by:

• Raising the default threshold from 2.0 to 15.0 rad/s²
• Requiring 3 consecutive frames above threshold before alerting
• Adding a 5-second cooldown between alerts

Verified on real hardware: 0 false alerts in 60s with 1,300+ live WiFi CSI frames. Previous firmware had 7 false alerts in 45s.

Already have v0.4.2? Fix without reflashing:

python provision.py --port COM7 --fall-thresh 15000

What's New

4MB flash support (#265)

ESP32-S3 boards with 4MB flash (e.g. SuperMini 4MB) are now officially supported. Thanks to @sebbu for proving feasibility with a community workaround!
