WADAMESH

A real touchscreen UI for your mesh radio. · open source · GPL-3.0

Touch-UI [MeshCore](https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore) companion-radio firmware for the **LilyGo T-Deck / T-Deck Plus**, **Heltec V4 + TFT** and eight other boards (ESP32-S3). An LVGL touch UI — map, chat, contacts, channels, settings — split out of [meshcomod](https://github.com/ALLFATHER-BV/meshcomod). The app depends on a MeshCore fork via PlatformIO `lib_deps`. ## Boards See **[DEVICES.md](DEVICES.md)** for the full support matrix, install paths and per-board status. - LilyGo T-Deck / T-Deck Plus — env `LilyGo_TDeck_companion_radio_touch` (stable) - Heltec V4 + TFT + CHSC6x touch — env `heltec_v4_tft_companion_radio_usb_tcp_touch` (stable) - Tanmatsu (ESP32-P4) — built from `tanmatsu/` (ESP-IDF), ships via the Tanmatsu app store — [sideload guide](TANMATSU_SIDELOAD.md) for running your own build - Elecrow ThinkNode M9 — env `ThinkNode_M9_companion_radio_touch` (beta) — [keyboard & d-pad guide](THINKNODE_M9_SHORTCUTS.md) - RAK WisMesh Tap V2 (RAK3312) — env `rak_tap_v2_companion_radio_touch` (beta) - LilyGo T-Lora Pager — envs `tlora_pager_lr1121_companion_radio_touch` / `tlora_pager_sx1262_companion_radio_touch` (beta) — [keyboard shortcuts](TLORA_PAGER_SHORTCUTS.md) - Heltec V4-R8 + Expansion Kit V2 — env `heltec_v4_r8_tft_companion_radio_usb_tcp_touch` (beta) - LilyGo T-Display P4 — built from `tdisplay_p4/` (ESP-IDF); AMOLED by default, `WADA_P4_LCD=1` for the TFT-LCD SKU (beta) - Attaky Mesh Series — env `attaky_mesh_series_companion_radio_touch` (beta) ## Architecture This repo holds only the **app**: the `companion_radio` glue, the `ui-touch` LVGL UI, each board's glue/variants, and `platformio.ini`. The **MeshCore core is not vendored here** — it's pulled as a library via `lib_deps` from the [`ALLFATHER-BV/meshcomod`](https://github.com/ALLFATHER-BV/meshcomod) monorepo (the same repo as the non-touch firmware), pinned by a lean source-only `core-*` git tag. The touch-app files this repo owns (TouchPrefsStore, WifiRuntimeStore, the transports, …) are dropped from the lib via `-DMC_VENDORED_TOUCH_APP` so they aren't compiled twice. The build is byte-identical to the original in-tree meshcomod firmware. Lua apps use the on-device SDK described in [LUA_APPS.md](LUA_APPS.md). For WAV/MP3 playback, including a ready-to-sideload transport test app and exact SD and internal-storage paths, see [AUDIO_PLAYBACK_TESTING.md](AUDIO_PLAYBACK_TESTING.md). ## Build [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org/) pulls the core fork and all libraries automatically: ```bash pio run -e heltec_v4_tft_companion_radio_usb_tcp_touch # Heltec V4 TFT pio run -e LilyGo_TDeck_companion_radio_touch # LilyGo T-Deck # or just `pio run` to build both ``` Flash with the NVS-preserving 4-component chain (bootloader / partitions / boot_app0 / firmware at `0x0 / 0x8000 / 0xe000 / 0x10000`) so saved Wi-Fi credentials survive — not a merged image, which 0xFF-pads and wipes NVS. ## Contributing Contributions are welcome — see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).

This keeps the UI open and concentrates community effort instead of fragmenting it into closed forks. wadamesh incorporates and depends on [MeshCore](https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore) (MIT, © Scott Powell / rippleradios.com) and other third-party components — see [NOTICE](NOTICE) for the full list and their licenses. MeshCore-derived files keep their MIT notices; the combined work is distributed under the GPL (MIT is GPL-compatible). The MeshCore fork that wadamesh builds against stays **MIT** on purpose, so its Wi-Fi/BLE hooks remain upstreamable to MeshCore.
