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.

# Tools
|
||
|
||
On joystick devices, the tools are in **Tools**, grouped into Location, Comms
|
||
and System. The navigation tools are on the [Navigation](./navigation.md)
|
||
page, Nodes and Admin on [Contacts](./contacts.md).
|
||
|
||
> [!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.
|
||
|
||
## Auto-advert
|
||
|
||
**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.
