Alpha tester thread (1.1.8 device code ready for alpha testing) 🙂

Lots of changes in this alpha release. Alpha tester geeks if you could try this and report back that would be great.

Major changes

  • @mc-hamster added Wifi support. If enabled by setting the access point name and password, the API port will be exposed on a TCP port 4403. Also there is an HTTP server embedded into the device.
  • @mc-hamster added a HTML UI
  • Much lower power consumption for all boards, but particularly boards with GPSes
  • SX1262 code had a bug that could cause sleep to hang (and enormous power draws)
  • Substantial cleanup of the GPS codebases
  • Add support for router mode (enable with “meshtastic --set-router”). Currently lowers power consumption even more than normal and ensures the devices will not go to sleep if permanently installed. Other enhancements for this config will come later in the 1.1 development queue.
  • There is now a factory_reset option you can set via the python tool to force the device to a factory state.
  • Region settings are now stored in flash, so that we can soon move away from having different builds for different regions.
  • Add support for the prototype TTGO eink device
