Jakub e51bc0629d feat(tools): add GPX Downloader web app 
Single-file Web Serial app for GitHub Pages. Connects to the device
over USB CDC, auto-detects <?xml…</gpx> frame from the Export GPX
action, and offers the file as a browser download with an editable
filename (defaults to trail_YYYY-MM-DD.gpx). Resets automatically
after download so back-to-back exports work without reconnecting.

Requires Chrome/Edge (Web Serial API). Enable GitHub Pages from the
repo settings pointing at the branch root or docs/ as needed.

Display Screenshot Tool

⚠️ Note: The screenshot feature requires the ENABLE_SCREENSHOT build flag to be enabled. Add -D ENABLE_SCREENSHOT to your PlatformIO build flags, then recompile and flash the firmware.

The firmware supports capturing the current display contents and transmitting it over USB serial. This is useful for debugging, remote monitoring, or creating documentation.

Important: When the device is connected to the companion app, the USB serial port is not available for communication. To use the screenshot tool, ensure the device is not connected to the companion app.

Usage:

  1. Build and flash firmware with -D ENABLE_SCREENSHOT build flag enabled

Example for the OLED dual firmware:

PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS="-D ENABLE_SCREENSHOT" pio run -e WioTrackerL1_companion_dual -t upload

  1. Connect the device to your computer via USB (ensure no companion app connection)

  2. Install dependencies and run the screenshot tool. To manage python and python dependencies, use uv: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/

    cd tools
uv run tools/screenshot.py

    Options:

    • --port PORT — Serial port to use (default: auto-detect)
    • --scale SCALE — Upscale factor for the output image (1=no upscale, 2=2x, 3=3x, 4=4x, etc.; default: 1)

  3. In the tool's interactive menu, press S to capture a screenshot

  4. The tool will save the screenshot as a PNG file in tools/pngs/ with a timestamp-based filename

How it works:

  • The tool sends the CMD_GET_SCREENSHOT command (66) to the device
  • The device responds with RESP_CODE_SCREENSHOT (29) containing the framebuffer data
  • The framebuffer is transmitted in chunks (128×64 display = 1024 bytes, split across multiple frames)
  • The tool reassembles the chunks and converts them to a PNG image
