01 / PRECHECK
Compatibility + prerequisites
BEFORE PROCEEDING
- Back up the entire Pip-Boy microSD card before changing files.
- Use a data-capable USB cable or mount the microSD card directly.
- Do not install this package on a Pip-Boy 3000 Mk V; the app contracts are different.
02 / PROCEDURE
Install package
INSTALLER NOTES
- Use the browser installer below for direct card, USB serial, or ZIP installation.
- The installer writes application files only. It does not flash or replace device firmware.
- If direct removable-media access fails, download the ZIP and extract it to the microSD root.
Back up the card
Copy the complete microSD card to a safe location before installing or updating an app.
Launch the correct installer
Open the hosted Pip-Boy 3000 installer in Chrome or Edge and confirm the model shown at the top.
Choose one target
Select the mounted microSD root or connect the Pip-Boy over USB serial. Close other serial tools first.
Install the payload
Install directly, or download the generated ZIP and extract it to the microSD root while preserving its folders.
Reboot and verify
Safely disconnect, reboot the Pip-Boy 3000, and complete the checks below.
03 / VERIFY
Confirm the install
- Compass and Morse appear under ITEMS > MISC.
- Compass completes its guided calibration.
- Morse composes and transmits a short test sequence.
04 / RECOVERY
Troubleshooting
Compass heading drifts.
Run TUNE TILT and TUNE MOTION again in the normal wearing position; this is experimental dead reckoning, not a magnetometer.
The apps do not appear.
Confirm both the APPS files and APPINFO records are present, then reboot.
UNINSTALL / ROLLBACK
- Remove APPS/COMPASS.JS and APPS/MORSE.JS.
- Remove their APPINFO manifests and icons.
- Reboot the Pip-Boy.
