History / Built in Apps

Revisions

  • Canvas apps: Lumina Clock (rename), Weather Sky v2, + News Ticker / Date Card / World Time / Countdown Bars; document the rich-render helpers

  • Canvas clock: replace Analog Clock with Aurora Clock (time as flowing colour)

  • Built-in Apps: add Weather Sky (canvas)

    @avandeputte avandeputte committed Jul 17, 2026
  • Canvas capability: drawing apps, on-device effects, and image push Writing-Apps §7 (canvas apps: surface:canvas, the canvas helper, lifecycle), Built-in-Apps (Effects / Analog Clock / Image), Matrix-Gateway (the panel as a raw canvas). Cross-checked against the firmware openapi + web.cpp.

  • Two gateways, two names — plus Provisioning and Calibration get their own pages SplitFlap Gateway drives real modules; Matrix Gateway draws a simulated wall on an LED matrix. The Gateway and Matrix-Portal-Gateway pages are renamed (redirect stubs left at the old names), 21 pages re-worded, and both diagrams regenerated with the new labels — the configurations diagram also aligns all seven Modules boxes on one row. New: Module provisioning (the full process — the SplitFlap Gateway's Provision tab and bare-metal provision.py in detail, splitflap-os's built-in equivalent acknowledged without detail) and Module calibration (the CALIBRATION_GUIDE ported: the three quantities, the golden order, nudge vs exact offset, per-flap tuning, the wizard and whole-board pass, the control reference). Linked from the sidebar's Build-it section, Home, Module-Firmware and the SplitFlap Gateway tab tour.

  • The companion has its own app library — the csader relationship, stated honestly The ecosystem graphic claimed the companion 'runs the splitflap-os app library (csader)'; it ships its OWN library and speaks the splitflap-os plugin format. Regenerated, and the framing aligned across the wiki: splitflap-os is an acknowledged alternative content engine (A/B/E/F); apps written for it drop in and run here — that inbound direction stays a hard contract; apps written here MAY run there, without the injected helpers and unoptimized, with no guarantees. Compatibility's goal paragraph now says exactly that. Also: Writing-Apps documents the grown get_weather surface (sky tokens, days=N forecast + hourly, air=True with labels and canonical bands), and Built-in Apps gains the countdown's per-unit colour-bar panel and the weather app's forecast/AQI/UV/pollen in their rows.

  • Wiki: five reference pages close the repo-doc gaps; provisioning is in splitflap-os now A census of all four repos found documentation living only in repo READMEs; the wiki now carries it: - Bus Protocol — the RS-485 wire reference: frames, addressing, every module command with reply grammars and result codes, EEPROM layout, boot sequence. - Gateway API — REST + MQTT for both gateways, /api/capabilities set arithmetic, the companion registration + settings-blob contract. - Companion without Home Assistant — Docker, the install script, the full COMPANION_* configuration reference, settings storage & disaster recovery. - Languages & Localization — every language surface and how to contribute one. - Serial Bridge — splitflap-os over the gateway's MQTT via a virtual PTY, including Mosquitto setup. Corrections: splitflap-os now provisions from its own UI (provision.py is optional, three pages updated); Multiple Displays documents the network scan; Gateway links its API reference; Home lists all 22 pages + release-notes links; sidebar gains Reference entries; Built-in Apps adds the Binary Clock and the Matrix-Portal-only seconds options. Every GitHub link curl-verified.

  • Wiki: Built-in Apps — the full catalog at a glance All 63 shipped apps, grouped, with badges for i18n/trigger/animation/API-key and each app's minimum grid, built from the manifests. Leads with the disclaimer that the ecosystem is always changing and the App Library in the companion is the source of truth. Linked from the sidebar (Drive it) and the Companion page.
