0.7.9 alpha

pre-release4 years ago

THIS IS A PRE RELEASE - unless you are an alpha tester, you probably want 0.7.8 instead!

Wow! This last week has so many more great commits from other devs (mostly @Professr). I'm still working on my changes (one more BLE bug still exists I think in ardunio-esp32 but I'm still working on nailing it down - now that my house tasks are complete), but I wanted to get all this new goodness out there.

Highlights of this release:

  • @Professr added GPS DOP support, battery % full calculations, a very nice 'polished looking' node status display, and fixed utf8 characters (so Japanese etc... now looks better on the display)
  • @aHVzY2g improved the readme with a new 3D case and added the bluetooth name to the pairing screen
  • @rososaurus improved the readme with recommendations on different TBEAM versions
  • @zjwhitehead improved the compass display, so it is clearer when you don't have a GPS lock vs the person you are trying to find doesn't have one
  • @aHVzY2g and @Professr worked together to add OLED brightness control (just longpress on the control button to change the display brightness)
  • Sometimes GPS reads would stall - fixed
  • Show sw version on boot screen
  • Report battery levels to other nodes in mesh (and phone)
