Two reports of remote management, telemetry and ping all failing against a repeater or room server while the same operations work from other MeshCore clients, with no error anywhere: "Logging in..." disappears and nothing happens. Multi-byte path hashing fails exactly like that. sendFloodScoped() stamps path_hash_mode + 1 bytes of repeater hash onto unicast floods, which is the login / status / telemetry / ack path specifically, while channel traffic takes a different overload. A repeater that predates the feature, or does not implement it, drops 2- and 3-byte-hash packets SILENTLY, so the request never arrives and nothing on either side reports a failure. randelreiss said outright he is running 3-byte hashes (#280). It defaults to 1 byte and is opt-in, so this is behaving as designed. What is not reasonable is that someone who turned it on has no way to connect that choice to "remote management stopped working" weeks later. The timeout already had the operator's attention and was spending it on password, server and clock; it now names the path-hash setting and where to change it when the setting is not on its default. Does not change any send behaviour. This is diagnosis, not a fix for the drop itself, and it is deliberately worded as a thing to try rather than a verdict: neither reporter has confirmed the cause yet. All 8 S3 boards build.

A real touchscreen UI for your mesh radio. · open source · GPL-3.0
Touch-UI MeshCore companion-radio firmware for the LilyGo T-Deck / T-Deck Plus and Heltec V4 + TFT (ESP32-S3).
An LVGL touch UI — map, chat, contacts, channels, settings — split out of
meshcomod. The app depends on a
MeshCore fork via PlatformIO lib_deps.

Architecture
This repo holds only the app: the companion_radio glue, the ui-touch
LVGL UI, the two boards' 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 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.
Build
PlatformIO pulls the core fork and all libraries automatically:
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.

License
GPL-3.0-or-later — see LICENSE. wadamesh is copyleft: anyone who distributes a build or a fork must also make their source available under the GPL. This keeps the UI open and concentrates community effort instead of fragmenting it into closed forks.
wadamesh incorporates and depends on MeshCore (MIT, © Scott Powell / rippleradios.com) and other third-party components — see 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.
