Docs: the E-ink section describes the landscape and portrait builds, what the tall screens add, and the settings, with three screenshots; the e-ink build flags; the release file names. Sim: each orientation gets its own factory, so a page can load both, and simEinkScale 0 leaves the canvas' CSS size to the page. CI builds both into solo-sim-wasm.zip (wasm/eink/).

# MeshCore Solo
|
||
|
||
Solo is a MeshCore companion firmware that works on its own: messages, contacts,
|
||
GPS navigation and tools right on the device, no phone needed. The phone app
|
||
still connects as with the stock firmware, over Bluetooth or USB.
|
||
|
||
**Try it in your browser: [solo.marekzegarek.com](https://solo.marekzegarek.com)**
|
||
|
||
## What it does
|
||
|
||
- **Messages without a phone**: channels, direct messages and rooms, with
|
||
quick replies, live placeholders (`{loc}`, `{time}`, sensor readings) and
|
||
keyboards for Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and European diacritics.
|
||
- **GPS navigation**: trail recording with GPX export, waypoints, a compass,
|
||
navigate to any node, waypoint or shared location, live location sharing
|
||
and a geofence alert (Locator).
|
||
- **Nearby nodes**: who's around, signal and distance, ping, and remote
|
||
admin of your repeaters and rooms.
|
||
- **Tools**: clock with alarm, timer and stopwatch, a remote bot that answers
|
||
commands over the mesh, repeater mode, a ringtone editor, and a status
|
||
screen with the radio, GPS, battery and mesh counters.
|
||
- **Screen lock** with an optional PIN.
|
||
- **On the Wio Tracker L2**: an offline map, message history on the SD card,
|
||
the SD card as a USB drive, updates over WiFi.
|
||
|
||
## Devices
|
||
|
||
The firmware is the same everywhere; how you drive it depends on the device.
|
||
These docs mark the differences with notes like this:

|
||
| Group | Devices | Controls |

|
||
| **Joystick** | Wio Tracker L1 (OLED / e-ink), GAT562 30S, GAT562 Watch13, Heltec V3/V4 with a joystick | Four directions, Enter, Back |
|
||
| **Keyboard** | M5Stack Cardputer ADV, T-Echo Lite + KeyShield, any board with a CardKB | Keys; arrows or their Fn combinations for the directions |
|
||
| **Touch** | Wio Tracker L2 | Taps, swipes and holds; two side buttons |

|
||
|
||
The joystick and keyboard devices share one interface, sized for small OLED
|
||
and e-ink screens. The Wio Tracker L2 has its own, built for a 320 × 240
|
||
colour touch screen, with extras its hardware allows: an offline map, message
|
||
history on the SD card and updates over WiFi.
