Root cause, from the coredump against a matching elf: #0 UITask::findOrCreateThread (name="#test", channel=true) UITask.cpp:48598 _ui_threads is 'PSRAM-allocated in begin()' at line 49732 — AFTER the console early-return at the top of begin(). So in console mode it is null, and the first message to arrive dereferenced it. Because the panic rebooted straight back into console mode, it then did that on every boot: a loop, with no way to the UI from the device. The self-heal added earlier is what broke the loop. This is the 'everything that assumes the UI exists' hard part from CONSOLE_MODE.md showing up for real. showAlert and loop() were handled; the message-arrival path was not. * findOrCreateThread, appendMessage and the two inline accessors in UITask.h now tolerate a null table instead of assuming begin() ran to completion. * newMsgImpl prints the message to the console in console mode. That also supplies the receiving half, which was missing: it could send but nothing arriving was ever shown. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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, Heltec V4 + TFT and eight other boards (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.
Boards

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 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.
