wadamesh beta_98

pre-release3 hours ago

Test build, on top of beta_97. Stable stays beta_85.

Flash it at flasher.wadamesh.com (switch the toggle to Beta), or update on the device if you have "Get test builds (beta)" turned on.

New

  • Repeater and room server admin. The Admin button on a repeater or room server now opens a full admin app instead of a password box and a raw console. Log in as admin or guest (a remembered password logs in at once), then see the node's status, firmware and owner, its neighbours (newest or strongest), telemetry and the access list, change roles, edit identity and location, radio, repeating and limits, adverts, passwords and regions, and run actions: an advert, a clock sync, discovering neighbours, resetting counters, a reboot or a firmware update. The old console stays under Advanced.
  • wadamesh in your browser. The same touch UI runs at app.wadamesh.com and drives your own MeshCore node over USB or Bluetooth (Chrome or Edge), or a wadamesh or meshcomod node over Wi-Fi from wifi.app.wadamesh.com. Map, Store and Lua apps, backups and your device's location included, chats kept in the browser, portrait on phones, and a demo mesh when no node is connected. More on wadamesh.com/webclient.html.
  • Settings, Theme, Background has a Glass tiles switch (on by default); off draws the Home tiles solid.
  • Large screens in landscape (T-Display P4, Tanmatsu, CrowPanel 5.0 and 10.1): the empty message box is one line tall and grows as you type.

Fixes

  • Firmware updates over Wi-Fi no longer stop at 0% and restart the device. The download waited without yielding, so a slow start tripped the task watchdog. The image is now copied in small blocks, and the update gives up cleanly after 15 seconds without data (#689, reported by @Hixsten on a T-Deck Plus).
  • Backups get one name, meshcore-backup-<date>, and a device without a set clock numbers them instead of overwriting an earlier one (#688 by @oumike, for #686 reported by @zomgugoff). On the Tanmatsu the free name is found by opening the file, since its storage reports existing files as missing.
  • T-Display P4: a Wi-Fi chip that stops answering is reset and rejoins on its own. Units running LilyGo's factory ESP-AT image lost Wi-Fi after about an hour, with empty scans and Connect doing nothing until a reboot (#685, reported by @william-stearns). Not yet checked on a unit that shows the problem, so please report.
  • Companion sync: a node keeps a sync position for up to 8 apps. When all 8 were taken, a new app was never synced at all; the slot of the app that synced longest ago is now reused.

Boards

  • SenseCAP Indicator D1L is a new board in the web flasher (#682 by @Confituurke): ST7701S screen, FT6336 touch and the SX1262 radio behind the TCA9535 expander. Power off is hidden, as nothing on the board can wake it again.
  • CrowPanel Advanced 10.1: touch works. The SD card driver claimed pin 45, the touch controller's data line, and shut the touch bus down after the first card check. Map tiles are kept on the board's own storage and the boot is quieter. Still experimental, so please report what works.
  • T-Display P4: Radio settings has "Always use the external antenna (MMCX)", which asks first with a warning, and the control panel has an Antenna tile.

The admin app was checked on a LilyGo T-Deck against a real repeater (guest login). Every other board builds. Please report what you find with "Send a test report" in Settings, or an issue here.
