Six public API functions had no callers anywhere in the firmware:
splash_prev, splash_set_active, splash_current_name, splash_count,
ble_is_connected, imu_set_rotation, power_is_usb_connected,
power_usb_changed. Trimming them lets power.cpp drop the VBUS state
machine (cached_usb, usb_changed_flag, last_vbus_ms,
enableVbusVoltageMeasure). usage_rate_reset becomes file-static since
the only caller is in usage_rate.cpp itself. Montserrat font flags in
platformio.ini were enabled but never referenced.
Group splash animations into four moods (idle/normal/active/heavy) and pick
which group plays based on a 5-min sliding rate of session_pct. Thresholds
sit at 0.10/0.20/0.33 %/min so Heavy fires when usage matches or beats the
5-hour session reset pace. Splash auto-rotates within the current group
every 20s; group recomputes on every BLE poll and the splash re-picks
immediately if it changes mid-display. 4-min minimum window prevents
single-sample bumps after boot from falsely landing in Heavy.
- Extract design tokens to firmware/src/theme.h (THEME_BG, THEME_PANEL,
THEME_TEXT, etc.); ui.cpp aliases COL_* to the THEME_* tokens
- Splash container + canvas COL_EMPTY now use THEME_BG / 0x0000 instead
of the hardcoded 0x0f0f0f / 0x10A2 dark grey
- tools/convert_to_c.js maps "transparent" palette entries to 0x0000
(true black) so regenerated splash_animations.h matches the new bg
- Re-regenerate splash_animations.h
- Convert logo to RGB565A8 (alpha plane) so it composites against any
background — no more grey halo around the upper-left logo on screens
where the bg differs from the previous baked-in 0x18E3 color
UX overhaul:
- Drop the Controller screen entirely (touch zones, swipe gestures, HID
gesture engine, four icon arrays, hand icon)
- Two persistent screens (Usage, Bluetooth) cycled by the middle PWR
button; splash becomes a touch-toggled welcome animation
- Left button (GPIO 0): hold to send Space (Claude Code voice-mode PTT)
- Right button (GPIO 18): press to send Shift+Tab (mode toggle)
- Middle button on splash cycles animations instead of screens
- Remove USB plug/unplug auto-switch (Controller was the unplug target)
- Hide battery indicator on splash when in LOW state — it's noisy over
the pixel-art animations
Implementation:
- Delete firmware/src/hid.{cpp,h} and touch.{cpp,h}; their roles fold
into main.cpp button handlers and LVGL CLICKED events respectively
- splash_get_root() exposes the splash container so ui.cpp can attach
a click handler for the dismiss-on-tap behavior
- Tap detection uses LVGL's built-in LV_EVENT_CLICKED with event
bubbling on the inner panels — debouncing is handled by LVGL
- On Bluetooth screen, only the Reset Bluetooth zone is clickable;
taps elsewhere are no-ops (no conflict with splash toggle)
Docs:
- README: drop Controller from screens table, rewrite Physical buttons
table, remove Gesture controls section
- CLAUDE.md: update file map, button assignments, drop gesture refs
Full hardware swap from Panlee SC01 Plus (480×320 IPS) to Waveshare 2.16"
square AMOLED (480×480, CO5300 + CST9220 + AXP2101 + QMI8658). Library
stack moves to Arduino_GFX, SensorLib, XPowersLib on the pioarduino
platform 55.03.38-1 (Arduino Core 3.x).
UI:
- 4 screens (splash, usage, controller, bluetooth) with 3-button physical
navigation: GPIO 0 = prev, AXP PKEY = cycle, GPIO 18 = next.
- IMU-driven 90° auto-rotation. CO5300 can't rotate via MADCTL, so flush
callback does CPU strip-rotation in PARTIAL render mode. Rotation
transitions use AMOLED brightness flash (instant black → redraw → ramp).
- Battery indicator (Lucide icons) in upper-right, RGB565A8 alpha so it
blends over the splash animations.
- USB plugged/unplugged auto-switches between Usage and Controller
screens (suppressed while on splash).
- Fonts and icons re-scaled ~1.9× for the higher-DPI panel; 20px margins
to clear rounded corners.
Splash:
- 13 × 20×20 pixel-art creature animations sourced from
claudepix.vercel.app via tools/scrape_claudepix.js (scraper handles
both PRESET creature-engine and standalone FRAMES+PAL formats).
tools/convert_to_c.js emits firmware/src/splash_animations.h.
Attribution preserved in README and the generated header.
Tooling:
- tools/png_to_lvgl.js converts alpha PNGs to LVGL RGB565A8 (planar
layout, with --tint to colorize Lucide black-on-transparent sources).
- tools/scrape_claudepix.js, tools/convert_to_c.js for the splash
pipeline.
Docs:
- New worktree CLAUDE.md with hardware pin map, file inventory, build
commands, and the 8 critical gotchas (CO5300 rotation, OPI PSRAM,
pioarduino requirement, LVGL 9 font patching, centralized touch read,
even-aligned flush regions, touch swap/mirror values, RGB565A8 layout).
