PocketOBI v2.6.0: ES3C28P board and Simplified Chinese
A third board, the ES3C28P (ESP32-S3 with a capacitive touch screen), and Simplified Chinese in the Asia build.
Added
- ES3C28P board. The LCDWiki ES3C28P, a 2.8" ESP32-S3 board with an ILI9341V screen and FT6336G capacitive touch, now has its own build. Same screens and logic as the CYD, driven by touch, with Settings > Calibrate if taps land off target. Languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Vietnamese. The board has a LiPo charger and a battery socket, so it can run from a small cell instead of a USB cable. The pack lead takes two of the board's sockets: DATA and ENABLE from Expand, 3.3 V and GND from I2C, with 470 Ω pull-ups. Wiring in the README. Thanks to the tester of discussion #22, who brought this board up and tested every early build.
- Simplified Chinese in the Asia build (Settings > Language > ZH), translated by a Chinese user (#29). Thanks to @wu3266089-collab for the translation! The "Connecting..." banner was added after the translation, so its Chinese wording is ours and provisional: corrections welcome.
No change to the reading, the verdicts or the PC bridge: the PackScope companion app needs no update.
Known issue
Flashing a .bin by hand at 0x0 resets the saved settings (language, screen flip, touch calibration). The web flasher keeps them unless you tick "Erase device". After a manual flash, set them again (on a touch board: Tools > Settings > Calibrate touch).

Easiest: the web flasher, from Chrome or Edge, nothing to install. Or by hand: each .bin is a merged image (bootloader + partitions + app), flashed at address 0x0.
pip install esptool

esptool --chip esp32 write_flash 0x0 PocketOBI-v2.6.0-cyd.bin
esptool --chip esp32s3 write_flash 0x0 PocketOBI-v2.6.0-es3c28p.binIf a CYD flash stops halfway ("chip stopped responding"), add --baud 115200. If the ES3C28P is not detected, hold BOOT, press RESET, then release BOOT. SHA-256 checksums are in SHA256SUMS.txt. The *-parts.zip files hold the separate images and their offsets (OFFSETS.txt).
Never connect the pack's B+ (18 V) to the ESP32.
