Wio Tracker L2 (ui-lvgl) — hardware checklist

Things verified only in the browser simulator so far. Tick on the device; note anything odd next to the item. Branch wio-tracker-l2.

Feedback round 1 (2026-09-25) — fixed, check on the device

Confirmed on the device: live share sends and receives positions.

• Map: ☰ tools moved to the left column (back, pin, ☰); nothing overlaps the crosshair
• Target ring sits exactly on the marker (all markers were drawn ~3 px low)
• A person sharing on a channel, picked as target, is followed as they move (was a fixed point where they were); bar shows the person icon
• Settings: "Trail, live share, alerts" subtitle no longer covers the title (all list rows)
• Map credit is a small "©" (tap: full line in a toast); full text also in Settings > About; long toasts wrap
• Home: Messages, Nearby, Map, Settings — "Map" is the navigation map; the nodes map opens from Nearby's header (map icon), back returns to Nearby
• Home tiles are wider; more apps will go on further swipeable pages (dots appear once there are two)
• Overzoom limited to 2 levels (x4); past that "No map detail here at this zoom" — download more
• Panning: no tile decoding while the finger moves (smooth drag, tiles fill in once you stop); tiles around the view are decoded ahead while idle; newly revealed area shows the coarser tile until the sharp one is ready
• Note how panning feels now: ______ (next step if still slow: decode on the second core / JPEG tiles)

Feedback round 2 (2026-09-25) — fixed, check on the device

Confirmed: settings rows OK, map pans much faster, ring centred.

• Target ring is wider (30 px) so the green / flag marker shows inside it; a target with no marker on it (map point, message position, stale live share) gets an orange centre dot
• "↓ Resume?" pill sits top right beside +, clear of the zoom pill; tapping it opens the download popup
• Pin button → Waypoints list (distance, tap → Go / Name / Share / Delete) with "Here (GPS)" and "Coordinates"
• Coordinates: digits keyboard, "50.06142, 19.93721 Name" or with a space instead of the comma; bad input keeps the field with a hint; the map centres on the new waypoint
• Holding the map no longer adds a waypoint straight away: "This spot" popup with Add waypoint / Go here

Feedback round 3 (2026-09-25) — fixed, check on the device

Confirmed: green dot inside the ring, waypoints much better, download works, settings OK.

• Ring exactly on the marker at every zoom (it was computed in float: pixels off at z16+). The trail line had the same error and is fixed too
• Home: swipe left / right anywhere (clock or tiles) turns the page; a swipe starting on a tile doesn't open it; tapping a dot also switches
• Settings > Display & power: Brightness is a slider (5-100 %), changes live while dragging, kept after a reboot and after the screen sleeps / wakes
• After the update: prefs load normally (new field, schema sentinel 0xC0DE002F) — brightness starts from the old level, nothing else reset

New: Clock, settings pages, radio (2026-09-25)

• Home has two pages now: swipe left → Clock (dots under the tiles follow; Home remembers the page)
• Clock > Alarm: hour / minute rollers (setting a time arms it), On switch, Repeat (Once / Daily / Weekdays / Weekends); rings at the local time
• Clock > Timer: H / M / S rollers, Start → big countdown, Stop; when it ends a full-screen "Timer done" card with Dismiss appears on any screen (also wakes the display; the user button dismisses too). Silent: no speaker driver yet
• Clock > Stopwatch: Start / Stop / Reset with tenths
• Settings > Display & power: Screen off after; Wake on message
• Settings > Display & power: Battery shutdown (not while on USB), GPS power saving, Time zone (clock + alarm follow)
• Settings > Messages & contacts: Resend direct messages, Contact expiry + "Remove inactive contacts now" (first tap shows the count, second removes; favourites kept), Favourites first
• Settings > Radio: Preset list (built-ins + your saved ones), Frequency (tap, type), SF, Bandwidth, Coding rate, TX power, Auto power; changes apply at once — check messages still flow after switching back to your usual preset
• L1 (ui-new): Settings > Radio TX power / Auto power / presets still apply (now through the shared RadioControl)

New: Channels (2026-09-25)

• Messages: favourite channels first with a star, muted ones with a speaker icon
• Hold a channel row (or ⚙ in an open channel) → options: Alerts (Default / Muted / Always, one tap), Scope (only if regions exist), Fav, Read (only with unread), Edit, Delete (second tap confirms)
• "+ Add channel" → Public (re-adds the open channel; "already exists" if it's there), Hashtag (topic → "#topic"), Private (name + passphrase, or Hex key switch → exactly 32 hex chars)
• A hashtag / private channel made on L2 talks to the same channel made on L1 or in the phone app
• Edit: rename keeps the key (shown at the top); typing a new passphrase changes it
• Deleting a channel that was the live share / bot target turns those off; a channel re-added in that slot starts with default notifications / no favourite (also when deleted from the phone app)
• L1 (ui-new): Messages > Channels add / edit / delete / mute / pin still work (now through the shared ChannelControl)
• L1: deleting a contact from the app still unpins it from the dial and clears its mute / melody (cleanup moved into the Core)

New: Repeater admin (2026-09-25)

• Nearby > a repeater or room server you have in contacts > "Admin" (the Fav button is just a star there)
• First time: password field + keyboard; wrong password → "Login failed", back on the node; right one → tabs System / Radio / Routing / Actions
• Next time: logs in by itself with the saved password (no keyboard); a node you just used opens straight away
• Out of range: "No answer to the login" after a while, and the saved password is forgotten (asks again next time)
• Name / Owner info: "Reading..." then a text field with the current value; ✓ sends it, reply popup "OK"
• Admin password: set a new one → the saved password follows (next login works without typing)
• Routing > Repeat switch; Advert interval / Flood advert / Max hops with − / +; Radio > SF / Bandwidth / Coding rate choices, Frequency typed, TX power − / +
• Actions: Send advert / zero-hop / Sync clock give a reply; Reboot and Start OTA ask first (red button)
• Custom command: e.g. ver, neighbors (long replies scroll)
• "Reading... (tap to stop)" stops waiting when tapped
• Room server login from the phone app / L1 still works while this exists (only admin logins go to the new session)
• L1 (ui-new): Tools > Admin works as before (login, saved password, typed values, confirm reboot); it now also skips the login for the node you just used

New: Bot (2026-09-25)

• Home page 2: Clock, Bot
• Bot: tabs Channel / Room / Direct / Other; header shows "N sent" once it has replied
• Switches (Enable, Commands, Actions) change and survive a reboot; Direct > DM allow All / Fav
• Channel / Room: list popup (current one highlighted), picking closes it and shows the name
• Trigger: text popup ("*" = any message, shown as "(any msg)"); Reply: {name} {hops} {loc} {time} buttons insert at the cursor
• Other > Quiet from / to: − / + hour, Done; both the same = "Off"
• With Channel enabled + trigger "!hi" + reply "Hi {name}, {hops}": another node writing "!hi" on that channel gets the reply; !ping answered when Commands is on
• L1 (ui-new): Tools > Bot looks and works as before (now from the shared BotConfig table)

Basics after the_mesh moved to PSRAM (MESH_IN_PSRAM)

• Boots normally, contacts and channels are all there
• Messages arrive and send (channel + DM), delivery ticks work
• Companion app over BLE connects and syncs
• A few hours of uptime without a reboot

WiFi map download

• Settings > WiFi: Scan lists networks, pick one, password, Save
• Map > download button: popup shows tile count / size, Download starts
• Pill on the map: "Connecting..." then "↓ n / total"
• Popup while downloading: IP, dBm, heap (internal free / largest block) — note the numbers: ______
• Mesh messages still arrive during a download; BLE stays connected
• Stop → popup shows "Unfinished: z…-…, N tiles" with Resume / trash
• Power off mid-download → power on → map shows "↓ Resume?" (top right; tap it) → Resume continues (count jumps past the tiles already on the card)
• Trash discards the unfinished job
• Download finishes: toast "Map: Done, N new tiles", new tiles appear on the map

Overzoom (map past the downloaded detail)

• Zoom in beyond the highest downloaded level: map stays visible (magnified), zoom pill reads e.g. "z17 (map z15)"
• Panning over magnified tiles is smooth enough (note if it stutters)
• From a magnified view, download a higher zoom for that area — the sharp tiles replace the magnified ones

GPS

• Settings > Navigation shows a "GPS" switch; toggling it turns the module on/off (and survives a reboot)
• Status bar: GPS icon grey while searching, green with a fix, gone when off
• Map crosshair with GPS off: turns GPS on ("GPS on, waiting for a fix"), centres once a fix arrives
• Bot !gps on / !gps off works on L2

Two maps

• Nodes map (Nearby > map icon): contacts with a position as markers, tap → node detail, back → map
• Map: hold the map → "This spot" → Add waypoint → "WPn" at the finger
• Map: pin button → Waypoints → Here (GPS) → waypoint at the GPS position
• Bar (bottom) → "Navigate to" list: waypoints with distance, Trail start (if a trail exists), people sharing live
• Tap a waypoint → target: ring, dashed line from you, bar with distance / bearing / your course / ETA; view frames you + target
• ✕ on the bar clears the target
• Waypoint menu (pencil): Go / Name (Polish letters, 11-byte limit) / Share / Delete (second tap confirms)
• Share → Messages → pick a conversation → compose holds [WAY]lat,lon name → send; a Solo L1 receiving it can save it
• Settings > Trail, live share, alerts > "Show others' positions" on → someone's [LOC] share appears on the Map and in the list; tap → navigate to them
• Node detail (a node with a position) has the compass button → Map with that node as target
• Settings > … > "Arrival alert" on + target set → toast "Arrived: …" when you get within the radius

Positions in messages

• A received message with [WAY]lat,lon name, [LOC]lat,lon or plain "lat, lon" shows Go / Save under the bubble
• Save → waypoint named from the [WAY] label (else the sender), Polish letters not cut in half
• Go → Map with that spot as the target

Trail & live share (Map > ☰ tools button, left column)

• Record → pill "REC 0 m" at the top; walk: blue trail line follows, distance grows
• Auto-pause (Settings > Trail, live share, alerts): standing still → "PAUSED", walking resumes
• Stop / Save / Load / Reset (second tap confirms) behave; a trail saved on L2 loads (same /trail file as L1)
• Export GPX → toast "Saved trails/trail-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.gpx"; the file opens in a GPX viewer (track + waypoints)
• Live share: pick "Send to" (channel or favourite), Share live → pill "LIVE 1h00"; another node sees the [LOC] updates while you move; stops by itself after the chosen time
• Send once: with sharing on → "Position sent"; with it off → Messages with [LOC]lat,lon waiting in the compose field
• Track back (with a recorded trail): bar "Back: n pt" with distance / bearing, ring on the breadcrumb; walking advances it; at the start toast "Back at the trail start"; ✕ stops it
• ☰ > Download this area opens the download popup
• Waypoint averaging 5 s/10 s/30 s: pin → "Averaging GPS… n s" pill (tap cancels) → waypoint saved at the mean

Settings > Trail, live share, alerts (schema-driven)

• Every row changes and survives a reboot; "Imperial units" relabels point spacing and distances
• Changing "Stop sharing after" during a session restarts its clock
• Radius / Alert on (arrive, leave, both) change when the arrival toast fires

Same data on L1 (ui-new) after the Core changes

• L1: waypoints saved before the update are still listed (Tools › Trail › Waypoints)
• L1: add / rename / delete waypoint, navigate, ETA line still shows
• L1: Home GPS toggle still works
• L1: Tools › Trail Save / Load / Reset still work (now via TrailEngine)
• L1: Mark with averaging (Trail › Settings › Mark avg) still counts down and marks
• L1: Track back still advances along the trail and ends at the start
