twislaandClaude Sonnet 5.5 b2bc556f6e Site: how-tos and the FAQ (phase 3)
Eight how-to recipes and a FAQ page with a list of its questions, from the
README, the milestone documents and the Apps' source. The guide templates
become generic (the parent section gives the eyebrow, title and pager).

Everything the firmware writes goes in a folder at the top of the card. Switch the Cardputer off, take the card out and read it in a computer; or look at the same folders in the Storage App.

What Where Kind of file
Notes /notes .txt, named after the first line
GNSS Tracks /gnss/tracks .gpx, named by date and time
LoRa captures /captures/lora .pcap
IRC logs /irc one text file per buffer and day
Wi-Fi scan logs /wifi/scans <date>.csv
Gemini Saved Pages /gemini/saved/<host>/… .gmi
Gemini bookmarks /gemini/bookmarks.gmi gemtext
Files saved from Gemini that are not text /gemini/downloads whatever they were
Update files /updates .ota

Rules worth knowing

  • Eject first. A file being written (today's IRC log, a Track or a capture being recorded) is not complete until it stops. Stop it, or switch the device off, before you take the card out.
  • Notes are yours. You can edit them on a computer and they show up on the device; the clean-up never offers them for deletion.
  • Don't rename the top-level folders. The firmware looks for them by name.
  • Logs stop at 90% full, so the remaining space is kept for captures. The Storage App's Maintenance shows what is using the card and clears old logs and captures, after showing what it would free.
