Full Changelog: 0.1.1...0.1.2

0.1.1

Vestaboardian 0.1.1

Release-guideline compliance follow-up to v0.1.0:

• Added MIT LICENSE at the repository root.
• Command IDs no longer embed the plugin ID (Obsidian prefixes it automatically). If you bound hotkeys to the old commands, rebind them once.
• Release tag now exactly matches the manifest.json version (0.1.1, no v prefix), per Obsidian's plugin submission requirements.

No functional changes to sending, preview, history, or polling. 74 unit tests pass.

Install (beta)

BRAT → "Add a beta plugin" → patrick-knight/Vestaboardian (leave the version field empty).

v0.1.0 — Beta

Vestaboardian v0.1.0 — Beta Release

An Obsidian plugin that sends notes to a Vestaboard split-flap display.

Features

• Core compiler: Text-to-grid character-code compilation with device-aware validation
• Auto-fix: Normalizes invalid messages (unsupported chars, over-wide rows, extra rows)
• Transports: Local LAN API (HTTP, mDNS to vestaboard.local:7000) and Cloud Read/Write API (HTTPS)
• UI: Live tile preview sidebar, pre-send confirm modal with grid preview
• History table: Records send times with infer-on-next-post exit stamping
• Optional polling: Detects external board changes to clear stale "live" state
• Test coverage: 69 unit tests covering pure core logic and Obsidian integration

Status

Beta — builds cleanly and passes all unit tests. Not yet loaded in Obsidian or sent to a physical board. See the manual verification checklist in the README before relying on it for production use.

Install

1. Install BRAT community plugin
2. BRAT → "Add a beta plugin" → patrick-knight/Vestaboardian
3. Enable Vestaboardian in Community Plugins

Setup

Settings → Vestaboardian:

• Choose device (Flagship 6×22 or Note 3×15)
• Select transport (Cloud Read/Write API or Local LAN API)
• Paste API keys from your Vestaboard account settings

First use

Add a ## Vestaboard section to any note:

## Vestaboard
🟦 HELLO WORLD 🟦
VESTABOARD

Run "Vestaboard: Send message from this note" command, confirm the tile preview, and send. The message goes live and a history entry is recorded.

Notes

• Local API keys and cloud API keys are stored plaintext in your vault's .obsidian/plugins/vestaboardian/data.json (vault-local, never in source repo)
• Local transport uses unencrypted HTTP (Vestaboard Local API limitation)
• Cloud transport uses HTTPS
