1 Button - Canned Message Module Configuration

Support
1

I would like to use the Canned Message Module with one of the common DEV boards Heltec, TBeam, TLora with only 1 button.

Is this possible? How do I have to configure the module?

For Wemos boards with WiFi, 1 button operation was implemented at the time. This would also be conceivable for Meshtastic.

Current implementation:
Short Click = next screen
Long Push 10s = power off

Possible implementation:
additional canned message screen
Medium Push 2-5s = enter menu
Short Click = next option/message/down
Double Click = prev option/message/up
Medium Push 2-5s = select/confirm
Long Push 10s = power off

menu idea:
message 1 - select
… send message 1
… exit message
message n - select
… send message 1
… exit message
exit module

Generally speaking, you could derive different events (up/down/ok) from the gestures (click, double click, push) for the 1-button operation. Interactive menus could thus be realized without a smartphone, e.g. context menu for nodes with traceroute or canned messages.

Where you able to achieve this? Would be interesting to experiment with canned messages without having to add additional hardware…
