What's new in v1.5

Pet (a new app)

  • A little creature you dress up: body, eyes, mouth, hat and an extra, or a random look. Name it on the device (a letter at a time) or on the website's Tools page; the name shows as a tag over its head.
  • It blinks every few seconds, and A says hi (happy eyes and a heart).
  • Meet: bring two unidex close (a row of dots shows how close) and press B. The two screens become one room: the Pets greet each other, visit (the host steps aside and they chat in speech bubbles), swap screens and take trips, by themselves or with the buttons. Pull them apart and each Pet walks home.
  • Friends: after a first meeting both are asked "Be friends?". Friends get their own greeting, a heart, and a friends list (when you met, how many times).
  • Send a badge to a friend: it goes over the radio in about a second, and they see it first and choose whether to keep it.
  • Meet talks straight to the other device (ESP-NOW: no router, no internet), only while the Meet screen is open, with a new random radio address each time. See PRIVACY.md.

Screen

  • unidex now has its own e-paper driver: screens refresh a little faster (a partial refresh takes 364 ms instead of 423).
  • A new font, Liberation Sans, with the same letter widths, so every screen keeps its layout.

Licence

  • From v1.5, unidex is under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0: free to use, fork and improve for non-commercial purposes; selling it, or devices with it, needs written permission. v1.0 to v1.4 stay under the GPL. Contributions: CONTRIBUTING.md.

Website

  • A Pet designer on the Tools page: every part with a preview, a name, and Send / Load over USB.

Fixes

  • A new or fully erased board no longer prints error lines on the USB connection the first time it reads its settings.
  • Settings > Battery & info: a version number between releases now fits.

Update from https://forrest404.github.io/unidex/ (Update keeps your settings and files), or with Sync everything on the Tools page.
