JakubandClaude Opus 5.5 e822242660 docs: stage I3 -- documentation rewritten under docs/solo
Short pages by feature (getting started, messages, contacts, navigation,
tools, settings, lock, hardware) instead of one page per OLED screen, with
Wio Tracker L2 differences as notes; facts checked against the code
(keyboard scripts vs. hold-for-accents, {batt}/{dist}, L2 limits and
settings layout). Developer guides and build flags under docs/solo/developer.
Old docs/solo_features and its ~50 screenshots removed; a hero banner and
three simulator screenshots added; links updated.

Settings

Settings are saved as you change them and kept through reboots and updates. On joystick devices they're folding sections: Enter on a section opens it, Left / Right changes a value, Back leaves. Only the rows your board supports are shown.

Section What's there
Display Brightness, auto-off, lock screen and PIN, battery as icon / % / volts, clock format and seconds, wake on message; on e-ink also rotation and full refresh
Sound Buzzer on / off / auto (quiet while the app is connected), volume, quiet hours, the melody for messages, channels and adverts
Home Pages Order of the home pages, and which are shown
Radio TX power, preset, frequency, SF / BW / CR, saved presets, Auto pwr, the scope list
System Device name, time zone, low-battery shutdown, GPS power saving, units, reboot
Keyboard ABC or T9 layout, the two scripts, CardKB mode
Contacts Show all or favourites only (DMs, channels, rooms), favourites on top, contact expiry and prune
Messages Automatic resend of direct messages, the ten quick messages

A few notes:

  • Auto pwr lowers the TX power on strong links and raises it back on weak ones; the power set above is the ceiling.
  • Scope is a list of named regions (plus *, no region). Messages are tagged with a scope so repeaters can tell communities on the same frequency apart. The default one is used for direct messages and repeating, and each channel picks its own (see Messages). Anyone who types the same name gets the same scope; it isn't encryption.
  • Low battery shuts the device down at the voltage you choose, which is also 0 % on the battery indicator.

Note

Wio Tracker L2: one list of pages:

  • Device: Display (including the lock and Tap to wake), Home apps, Power (battery, GPS), Sound (with the melody editor), Keyboard, Messages & contacts.
  • Connections: Radio, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS.
  • Map & data: Map (trail, live sharing and arrival alert options), Storage.
  • System: Name, Time, Firmware update, About; Reboot and Power off.
