MeshCore is a protocol implementation ON TOP of DongLoRa, not part of the
dongle itself. Moving it to examples/ makes the separation clear while
keeping it accessible as a real-world usage example.
Firmware:
- fix(protocol): SNR type i8→i16 to match lora_phy PacketStatus
- fix(display): combine splash + waiting into one screen
- fix(display): move TX power to row 0 right-justified
- feat(display): sparkline distinguishes TX from RX — TX bars are dotted
(alternating pixel rows), RX bars are solid. TX-only slots show a short
marker. TX takes precedence over RX in the same time slot.
Host tool (tools/meshcore_rx.py):
- feat: full MeshCore packet decoder with colored ANSI output
- feat: GRP_TXT decryption using 276 channels from channels.csv
- feat: Watchman loop/collision reporter to #watchman
- feat: ADVERT-informed node registry with 12h TTL persistence
- feat: transport code fallback for older MeshCore firmware
- fix: robust error handling for long-running operation
- fix: collision detection uses evidence-based reasoning from advert cache
Channel directory (tools/channels.csv): 276 channels
Test corpus (corpus/): JSON Schema, 28 hand-crafted vectors, Hypothesis generator
Implement full SSD1306 OLED display support:
- Splash screen on boot (1.5s) with project name, version, board
- Dashboard showing radio state, config, counters, RSSI/SNR
- RSSI history sparkline (64-sample ring buffer, 2px-wide bars)
- DisplayOn/DisplayOff host commands routed via dedicated channel
- Pure render functions against generic DrawTarget (no hardware coupling)
- Display on/off control bypasses radio task entirely
