Update a running station (keeps settings and calibration): in the station's web page open
Settings → Update and upload opentag-station-1.0.0-rc.21-application.bin from this release.

New station or recovery (erases settings and calibration): use the
USB installer, which installs this same build.

Writing and erasing tags: fewer steps, one reminder

  • Touchscreen: tapping a spool in MY SPOOLS reads the tag and opens the review page straight
    away; "Use this spool?" is gone. After CREATE SPOOL the review page opens by itself.
  • Touchscreen: "Move this tag?" is now the review page itself, not an extra page before it. It also
    appears when the station's preview finds that the tag belongs to another spool, and a tag that
    holds another spool's data shows "This tag holds another spool's data. Writing replaces it."
    Before, the touchscreen showed the generic text in those cases.
  • Browser: Continue reads the tag at once and shows the preview; the separate Review step and
    its Preview tag click are gone. The steps are Select → Preview → Write → Done; an Edit
    step appears only while editing. Write tag asks no further question for an ordinary write;
    the extra question (and a red button) remains when the tag belongs to another spool, holds other
    data, or has an interrupted write. "Create this physical spool in Spoolman?" is gone.
  • "Keep the tag on the reader." appears once, and only while the tag is read, written, checked or
    erased. While only Spoolman is updated the browser now says "The tag is written. Saving the link
    in Spoolman…" (or "The tag is erased. Removing the link in Spoolman…"); before, it still asked to
    keep the tag on the reader.
  • After a finished clear in the browser, Done closes the dialog instead of reopening Manage tag.

Reading progress

  • The full read before a write or clear reports its progress (160 block reads, both passes).
    Touchscreen and browser show a progress bar; the background read shows a spinner with
    "Reading tag" / "Hold the spool still."
  • Two tags on the reader now show "Two tags on the reader. Remove one." on the touchscreen and
    "Tag not read" in the browser, instead of "Reading tag…" that never ends.
  • Progress messages from the station are plain: "Reading tag", "Checking tag", "Writing tag",
    "Erasing tag", "Verifying tag".

Spool colour

  • The touchscreen review and TAG READY pages show a ring in the spool's colour; the browser
    preview and result show a spool picture in that colour.
  • Home on both interfaces uses the Spoolman spool's colour when the tag itself has none.
    The spool API now includes primary_color.

Setup and About

  • The setup network OpenTag-Setup-XXXX is open; there is no password to read off the screen.
    When it comes back on a station that already has Wi-Fi saved, a station with an access token
    still requires the token over it.
  • The first setup page no longer shows "Configuration schema 3". It says "Tap Next to start", or,
    on a station that is set up, that you can review a step or go Home.
  • About this station is one scrolling column in a larger font, one value per line, in the
    sections Network, Scale and screen, System and Memory.

Scale

  • Every tare, including the zero step of a calibration, first re-runs the scale converter's own
    offset calibration, so the zero matches the converter's current temperature. If that tare then
    does not finish, weighing asks for a new tare instead of using a zero that no longer fits.
  • Both calibration screens advise calibrating after the station has been on for about 15 minutes.
    Troubleshooting explains warm-up drift and load-cell creep.

Releases

  • Every version merged to main is published automatically as a GitHub release (a pre-release
    for candidates) with the update file, and the USB installer is built from that same release.
