BlueNode 0.1.4-alpha.1 — Dashboard guide

Understand your dashboard

This release adds a plain-language guide to every dashboard section and control, including the difference between preset Saved nodes, personal Favorites, and Recent Nodes. Open it from the dashboard header or the welcome page after installation.

Download BlueNode-Setup.exe below for Windows x64. Enter your working Debian 12 ASL3 node login, confirm the station, install, and open the dashboard. Keep the app open for private SSH access. No separate .NET installation is required. The guide is bundled locally; reading it sends no commands to your radio.

The Windows app remains an unsigned early-testing alpha and may show a Windows reputation/publisher warning. It requires an existing working ASL3 node with SSH/sudo and does not configure a blank Pi. Existing installations are opened without replacement; updates use the explicit backed-up CLI workflow.

This guide update passed desktop/mobile rendering, section navigation, welcome/local-file/fresh-dashboard and five-viewport dashboard checks, plus Windows package/runtime and GitHub checks. Radio control behavior is unchanged. The prior release’s installation validation and hardware limitations remain applicable.
