”Amend mymesh.h to Meck v0.3 || ‘target.h’ - Added #include "variant.h" at the top to ensure HAS_GPS is always defined before the conditional includes || target.cpp - Added debug output to verify HAS_GPS is defined at compile and runtime || ‘TDeckBoard.h’ - Added #include "variant.h" for pin definitions || Added #include "variant.h" to ‘main.cpp’ to ensure HAS_GPS is defined || Added code to ‘main.cpp’ to enable GPS by default after sensors.begin() as longpress not currently functional for gps toggle || Changed battery icon size in ‘uitask.cpp’ from 24 to 22 width and 10 to 8 height.”
