T-Watch: So many UI changes. Also swapped render battery indicator to use the AXP2101 gauge for hopefully higher accuracy. Also implemnted meck rx duty cycle for watch builds only to test out power saving effects first on watch build before implementing elsewhere.
get dutycycle → reports the current duty as a percentage (e.g. > 50%)
set dutycycle <10-100> → sets it, saves to prefs, persists on reboot; anything below 10 or above 100 returns ERR - duty cycle must be 10-100
set af <value> is untouched, for anyone who prefers the raw factor
GPS — fixed (the "off" toggle and boot path now actually cut the XL9555 rail). Kept in main.cpp + UITask.cpp.
BLE controller — the ~13 mA between the BLE build (BLE off) and standalone is the controller staying initialised; the boot-gate in SerialBLEInterface.cpp/.h defers BLEDevice::init() until first enable, reclaiming it. That's the meaningful idle win.
CPU, gyro rail, ES8311, frontlight — all measured and ruled out. The residual ~12 mA Max-vs-Pro is distributed always-on hardware with no software switch — hardware overhead, not a bug.
Defer ESP32 BLE controller bring-up to first user enable
MyMesh::startInterface() called serial.enable() unconditionally at boot. On the ESP32 BLE build this ran the deferred-init SerialBLEInterface's _realBegin()/BLEDevice::init() and powered the BT controller before main.cpp's boot-time disable(), which only stops advertising and cannot power the controller back down -- so the controller stayed up while "off", drawing ~13 mA at idle. Guard the enable() so ESP32 BLE builds skip it at boot; the controller now comes up lazily on the first enable() when the user turns Bluetooth on from the Bluetooth page. WiFi builds are unaffected and still enable at boot.
SerialBLEInterface.cpp — added esp_bt.h include and three esp_ble_tx_power_set calls at +9 dBm after BLEDevice::init(), covering default, advertising, and scan power types.
MyMesh.h — FIRMWARE_VER_CODE bumped from 10 → 11.
MyMesh.cpp — The RESP_CODE_DEVICE_INFO frame construction now:
Byte 2: sends 0xFF (sentinel) when MAX_CONTACTS > 510, otherwise the normal MAX_CONTACTS / 2. Older apps interpret 0xFF as 510 contacts — completely harmless.
Bytes 80-81 (new, appended after the version string): uint16_t little-endian with the true MAX_CONTACTS value. Apps that understand v11+ read it here. Apps < v11 ignore trailing bytes — the BLE/serial frame protocol is length-delimited, so extra bytes at the tail are safe.
platformio.ini — Both BLE builds (meck_audio_ble, meck_4g_ble) bumped from 510 → 2000.
mymesh.cpp: writeContactRespFrame return type change (return _serial->writeFrame() result)
checkSerialInterface() batch-fill loop.
- Bond clearing on firmware version change (lines 38-67) — stores the firmware version string in SPIFFS at /ble_ver. On boot, if it doesn't match, all stored bonds are wiped. This fixes the forget/re-pair issue after flashing. Normal reboots keep pairing intact.
- TX power -3 dBm (line 73).
Connection parameter negotiation (lines 137-147) — latency=4 for power saving when connected.
- Advertising intervals 300ms/600ms (three places) — compromise between discovery speed and power.
- No controller power-down — the header file is unchanged from stock.
