An App in the Launcher that runs the same commands as USB serial and the Debug Console, trusted like the first. It shows what the console prints while it is open, through a second ring of the console's that exists only meanwhile; Ctrl+b keeps only what follows your own commands. Tab completes a command's name from the firmware's help text, Fn with up and down recalls earlier lines, Alt with up and down scrolls back. `rm` asks first in the Shell, `rm -f` doesn't. Nothing is kept once the App is left. `screenshot [seconds]` saves the screen as a PNG in /screenshots on the card, now or after a pause: written a row at a time, indexed colour with RGB332 as the palette, in one stored deflate block. 487 host tests (11 new: the PNG writer, the Shell's log filter, Tab). Checked on the device over the Debug Console: commands, Tab, history, a screenshot fetched and decoded on the PC, rm with and without the question, a delayed screenshot of another screen. 12 KB of flash; 7 KB of heap while open. Decisions Q204 to Q212 in docs/milestones/S1.md. Safe Mode: #77. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EhqxQ49eCju4CzKYNjZzwT

Move with the arrows. On a toggle, a choice or a slider, left and right change the value; <kbd>Enter</kbd> opens a text field or a list of choices, or a page marked `>`. Back leaves.
|
|
|
|
| Setting | What it is |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **Long name**, **Short name** | The names you gave in the first-start Setup (up to 39 bytes, and up to 4 characters) |
|
|
| **Region** | The regulatory region; EU868 |
|
|
| **Timezone** | For the clock and the dates in file names |
|
|
| **Brightness** | A slider |
|
|
| **Dim after**, **Screen off after** | Screen timeouts. Dimming must come before the screen turns off |
|
|
| **Sound & LED** | The beep and the flash on a [Toast](/guide/basics/) |
|
|
| **GNSS** | Switches the receiver on and off (see [GNSS](/guide/gnss/)) |
|
|
| **Pause GNSS for LoRa** | Puts the receiver on standby while the radio listens (see [LoRa Scanner](/guide/lora-scanner/)) |
|
|
| **Coordinates** | Decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes and seconds |
|
|
| **Wi-Fi** | The page below |
|
|
| **Check for updates** | Once a day, see [Updates](/guide/updates/) |
|
|
| **Firmware** | The page described in [Updates](/guide/updates/) |
|
|
| **Debug Console** | Off unless you switch it on. It lets a PC on the same network read the device's console and drive it, with a token shown on this page: see [the developer docs](/dev/debug/switch-it-on/). Leave it off if that means nothing to you |
|
|
| **About** | The firmware version, the node number, battery, memory, uptime, clock and licence |
|
|
|
|
## Wi-Fi
|
|
|
|
**Wi-Fi** on its own page switches the radio on and off. The page also has:
|
|
|
|
- **Status:** whether it is searching, joining, or connected, and to what.
|
|
- **Add a network:** scans, lets you pick one, and asks for the password (leave it empty for an open network). **Add a hidden network** asks for the name first.
|
|
- **DNS and NTP:** see below.
|
|
- **Your saved networks.** The device joins one on its own whenever it is in range, the strongest first. <kbd>Enter</kbd> on a network opens its page.
|
|
|
|
### An address by hand
|
|
|
|
A network normally gives the device its address by itself (DHCP, **Automatic**). On a network without DHCP, open its page and set **IP address** to **Fixed**: then it takes an **address**, a **prefix** (24 is 255.255.255.0) and an optional **gateway**. Switching to Fixed starts from what the network is giving the device at that moment, and the setting is checked and applied when you leave the page. IPv4 only. **Forget this network** is on the same page.
|
|
|
|
### DNS and NTP
|
|
|
|
Two DNS servers (9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 by default), used on Fixed networks, or on every network if **Always use my DNS** is on; and two NTP servers (pool.ntp.org and time.cloudflare.com), used after any that the network's DHCP offers. <kbd>Enter</kbd> on **Status** shows what is in use and where each value came from.

|
## The keys, as the device lists them
|
|
|
|
What <kbd>Fn</kbd> + <kbd>h</kbd> shows on these screens. These tables are generated from the firmware's own lists, so they are always the current ones.
|
|
|
|
{{ keys(scopes=["settings", "settings-choice", "wifi", "wifi-servers", "wifi-network", "wifi-status", "wifi-scan", "wifi-name", "debug-console"]) }}
