Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 5 e2d07d8428 fix + docs: "Save update bin to SD" on every board with a card, and list the boards we actually ship (#289)
oumike's gap list. Three of the four are closed here.

"Save update bin to SD" was gated on a list of board names that had grown to
three entries and still left the T-Lora Pager out, despite it having both a card
and OTA. It is now gated on the capability that actually decides it, CAP_SD &&
CAP_OTA (plus the ESP32 / companion conditions it already carried), which is what
device_caps.h exists for: a new board with a card no longer has to remember to
add itself to a list.

Both halves were gated separately - the helper block and the button that uses it
- so widening only the button broke the pager build on undefined symbols. They
are now character-for-character identical, which is the point: they cannot drift
apart again.

Docs were further behind than the issue said. DEVICES.md listed five boards and
we ship ten: the T-Lora Pager, Heltec V4-R8, T-Display P4 and Attaky Mesh Series
were all missing from the support matrix, and the Pager was still sitting under
"Requested boards" with an open issue link. README listed five envs and claimed
the repo covers "the two boards". Both now match what release.sh actually builds.

Still open from #289: the static deploy/flasher/ page carries only two manifests.
Left alone for now - flasher.wadamesh.com redirects to the site flasher, which
generates its manifests from gen-flasher-meta.py and already covers every board,
so that directory may simply be dead. Worth confirming before adding files to it.

All 8 S3 boards build.

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, 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

See DEVICES.md for the full support matrix, install paths and per-board status.

  • 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 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.
