Trifolium Menu & Settings Reference

Every setting on the on-device OLED menu: what it does, whether it takes effect immediately or needs a reboot, and when it disappears from the screen because something else made it irrelevant. Plus what is not in the menu at all, and where to change it instead.

Setting up a board for the first time, start with Building and Flashing. There is nothing to compile: one firmware fits every board, you tell it which one you have from the Web Console, and it remembers.

Already running, start with Using the Menu for the buttons and the screen patterns. Everything after that is reference, organized the same way the menu is.

Reading the tables

Every settings table on this wiki uses the same columns. The Takes effect column carries more than just timing:

Tag	Meaning
Live	Applies as soon as you save it.
Reboot	Stored immediately, but the blaster keeps using the old value until it restarts.
conditional	The row only appears when the condition named in its description is true. Otherwise it is not on screen at all, rather than greyed out.
can lock	The row is always listed, but under the condition in its description it refuses: selecting it shows a short message and changes nothing. Used where a setting would drive the wrong piece of hardware.

The Scope column says whether a setting belongs to the blaster itself (Device) or to the loadout you are shooting (Profile). That distinction is worth getting straight early, so it has its own section below.

How settings are organized

Settings split into two groups, and mixing them up is the easiest way to get confused about why a change did not do what you expected.

Device settings describe the blaster in front of you. There is one set, shared no matter what you are shooting:

• Pins and switch polarity
• Display settings and debounce
• Per-motor KP, KI, Kv and pole count
• Solenoid extend/retract timing and vibration pulse
• Battery type, cutoffs and calibration
• Pusher type and dart sensing, which select-fire hardware is wired, and a speed pot's range

Profile settings describe how this loadout shoots. There are 3 of them, called Low / Medium / High by default, and you can rename them to anything:

• RPM targets, dwell/idle time, idle RPM, spindown, rev safety timeout
• Its own list of 1 to 10 fire modes, each with a firing mode, burst length, target rate and display name

Because the mode list belongs to the profile, Low / Medium / High can each carry a different number of modes, tuned differently.

Pages
