I just got 2 of my 3 TBeams up and running and started playing with them yesterday to see what they can do.
I was having issues setting up both from one phone. I was having issues with texting the link to add the second TBeam, but eventually (somehow) it worked I also have some questions about the Android App and how some of the features are designed to work.
I imagine that most of my questions (if not all) have been answered before. I’ve been looking but have not found what I need. Is there a place that I can find documentation on basic feature operations? I don’t want to waste peoples valuable time if a little reading will likely answer most of my questions.
I’m curious about the “Broadcast position period” and “Device sleep period” settings.
Is broadcast position just what it sounds like?
What exactly is meant by “sleep”? Can it still receive messages? What events will wake it up?
I think those are advanced configurations, I don’t have hardware to test but if they are already defined I don’t think it would be wise to modify them without knowing what they are for
But I infer that “Broadcast position period” is the time in which the position is announced to the other nodes
And “Device sleep period” I think is the time in which it is put in power saving… but it will wake up when a message arrives
Is there any interest in indexing the various locations the documentation is found? If I’m not mistaken, most of the documentation is in the wiki of each project, I started a repo on GitHub to act as kind of a landing page for the documentation, but don’t want to waste my time on it if it’s not something that will prove useful. I thought it would also be a good place for firmware flashing, radio/battery purchasing, FAQs type of thing. It can just link to each wiki/README.md or it could also be more in depth.
