v1.1.0
Added
- Connect over USB — plug a companion radio in with a USB cable instead of
using Bluetooth. Devices you've connected to before show up as buttons for
one-tap reconnecting. - Repeater support — you can now plug a MeshCore repeater into USB,
not just a companion radio; the app detects which kind it is on its own. With
special logging firmware it shows full detail for every packet; with normal
firmware it shows what it can read from the repeater's logs. - Connect over WiFi (Android app only) — reach a WiFi companion over your
network by typing in its IP address. Web browsers can't do this, so it works
only in the Android app. - Android app niceties — it now shows the current status in the phone's
notification bar (with a speaker icon while beep alerts are on, and a "paused"
marker when capture is stopped), opens web links in your normal browser, and
closes pop-ups when you press Back. - 3D map additions:
- optionally show your own device's location on the map (off by default —
while on it keeps asking the device for its position, which can drain the
battery faster, so leave it off when you don't need it); - a Center on me button that recentres the map and then follows you as
you move; - pin repeaters to the map and point the camera at one;
- while capturing, the map keeps the area around you loaded so you don't drift
off the edge.
- optionally show your own device's location on the map (off by default —
- Disconnect warning — a clear full-screen alert if the connection drops
unexpectedly (cable unplugged, device reset, out of range). It stays quiet
when you disconnect on purpose.
Changed
- Tidier header — the connect/disconnect buttons and the status are grouped
into one colour-coded box (red when disconnected, green when connected). - Sound is easier to notice — when the beep-on-each-packet sound is turned
on, its control turns yellow so you can see at a glance that it's on. - Clearer repeater colors — brighter and easier to tell apart.
Fixed
- Trace packets now show the correct route (they used to show the wrong path).
- Your contacts list no longer sometimes fails to finish loading.
- The 3D map's "Enable location" button no longer freezes when your phone's
location is switched off — it works again once you turn location back on. - The same Bluetooth device no longer shows up several times in your list of
saved devices. - The 3D map's fullscreen button now works in the Android app (it did nothing
there before).
Plus lots of smaller improvements throughout.
