Christopher Van HooseandClaude Fable 5 d91737bb3f Lua apps on the firmware's black; GPS Compass: one-press north, swapped sides
The Lua app page painted itself 0x0E1216 while the rest of the firmware
paints pure black (COLOR_BG), so every app read as a lighter panel floating
over the UI. The page is now black and wada.ui.colors gains `panel` for the
raised surface an app draws on top of it -- the compass dial uses it, so the
instrument stands out instead of the page doing it.

Rotate/flip are gone from the user's side. They existed because the QMC6309's
axis orientation on the M9 is undocumented, which is not the user's problem to
solve by trial and error. `A` now does the whole job: whether the heading runs
clockwise or anticlockwise follows from which way the sensor's Z axis faces,
and that shows in the sign of the vertical field -- Earth's field dips down
north of the magnetic equator and up south of it -- so with a position (a fix,
or the node's last known one) the app reads the handedness off the sensor and
the press only has to set the offset. `F` stays as the fallback for a flat
field or no position at all.

Layout: stats column on the left, dial on the right (its status line above
it, the hint centred along the bottom).

The host harness now tumbles the simulated device during calibration rather
than spinning it flat -- min/max on an axis that never moves subtracts the
true field along it, which is precisely the case the handedness check has to
detect and refuse, and the flat mock was hiding it.

WADAMESH

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.

Boards

See 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
  • Elecrow ThinkNode M9 — env ThinkNode_M9_companion_radio_touch (beta) — keyboard & d-pad guide
  • RAK WisMesh Tap V2 (RAK3312) — env rak_tap_v2_companion_radio_touch (beta)

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.
