What's New in v4.8.6
- Fixed v2.0 board pausing / stuttering — the device no longer freezes for seconds at a time during scans. Root cause: battery readings share GPIO 2 with the buzzer and each read blocked ~70ms while spiking current; they were firing on every screen redraw, which starved the firmware and browned out boards on battery. Battery is now sampled at most once every 5 seconds and cached. (issue #1)
- No change for v2.1 boards — only the sampling frequency changed; measured voltage and battery % are identical.
Highlights since v4.6.7 (v2.0 board compatibility)
- Battery percentage on v2.0 — divider is now selected from the detected PCF8574 address (v2.0 = 4:1, v2.1 = 2:1), fixing the v2.0 battery stuck at 0%.
- Phantom / ghost button presses on v2.0 — fixed spurious SELECT and button events (touch-only v2.0 boards no longer trigger random menu actions).
- Button Checker on v2.0 — now forces fresh I2C reads instead of returning a stale buffer.
- New tools — Touch Calibrate and an SD File Manager.
- About page — fixed SEL:Back flashing / redraw glitches.
