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.

Raw Blame History

Tools

On joystick devices, the tools are in Tools, grouped into Location, Comms and System. The navigation tools are on the Navigation page, Nodes and Admin on Contacts.

Note

Wio Tracker L2: the tools are apps on the home screen: Messages, Nodes, Settings, Compass, Clock, GPS, Bot, Repeater, Admin, Diagnostics. The trail, live sharing and the locator are on the map (its tools button) and in Settings › Map.

Clock

The Clock home page shows the time, the date and up to three fields you choose (hold Enter): battery, temperature, humidity, pressure, altitude (barometric or GPS), light, CO₂, GPS position, satellites, contacts, unread messages. The time comes from GPS or the phone app; the time zone is in Settings.

Enter on the clock opens the clock tools:

Alarm: a time, repeating daily, on weekdays, at weekends or once. It rings with the screen off or locked, but not after a shutdown.
Timer: a countdown that rings when it reaches zero, whatever screen you're on.
Stopwatch.

Any key silences the ringing; it stops by itself after a minute.

Remote bot

Tools › Bot answers messages for you. It watches your direct messages, one channel and one room, each switched on separately:

Trigger and reply: when a message contains the trigger (several can be separated by commas, * matches any message), the bot sends the reply. The reply can use placeholders, plus {name} (the sender) and {hops}.

Commands: messages starting with ! get live data back:

Command	Reply
`!ping`	`pong`
`!batt`, `!temp`, `!time`, `!loc`	battery, temperature, time, position
`!hops`	how many hops the command took
`!status`	battery, position and time
`!help`	the list of commands

Several in one message get one reply: !batt !time → 4.10V | 14:30.

Actions (off by default) let the command change the device: !buzz (sounds the buzzer to find it), !gps on / !gps off, !gps fix (turns the GPS on, waits for a good fix and sends it), !advert.

DM allow = Fav limits the DM bot to your favourites, and quiet hours stop trigger replies at night (commands still answer). Replies are rate limited so two bots can't answer each other forever. The room bot uses the room's saved login.

Tools › Auto-advert sends an advert with your position every 30 seconds to 1 hour, so others see you in their Nearby list. With it on at both ends and Settings › Sound › AD sound set, each device beeps when it hears the other: a hands-free "still in range".

Repeater

Tools › Repeater makes the device relay other people's packets while it keeps working as a companion. By default it relays on a separate repeater profile (the community's repeater frequency) and switches back when you turn it off; Network = Current relays on your own frequency instead.

Optional filters keep a mobile repeater from adding noise: skip adverts, a maximum hop count, Yield (let fixed repeaters go first), a minimum SNR, drop duplicates already relayed by someone else, and relay only your scopes. Diagnostics shows how much it forwards.

Ringtones

Tools › Ringtone composes two melodies of up to 32 notes (pitch, octave, length, tempo). Use them for notifications in Settings › Sound, or for a single contact or channel from its options.

Note

Wio Tracker L2: the melody editor is under Settings › Sound.

Diagnostics

Tools › Diagnostics shows live counters (packets received and sent by type, forwarded, errors), memory, the radio's noise floor and the last packet's signal; a System tab with the firmware and radio settings; and a Font tab with a sample of every script the font covers. Hold Enter on the live tab to reset the counters.

Note

Wio Tracker L2: the Diagnostics app, with a Noise tab that measures the noise floor over time.

GPIO

Wio Tracker L1 only. Tools › GPIO sets four spare pins as input, output or (GPIO1–2) analog input, shows their level and switches outputs. The bot's !gpio1…!gpio4 commands read and set the same pins.

GPS and sensors

The GPS home page shows the fix and satellites; Sensors shows the readings of the sensors the board has. GPS pwr in Settings › System turns the GPS off between fixes to save battery; anything that needs your position (the trail, live share, the locator) keeps it on.

Note

Wio Tracker L2: the GPS app draws a sky plot of the satellites and each one's signal strength.
