Changes:

  • For units with the Waveshare e-paper display:
    • Allows for screen rotation: either none or 180 degrees.
    • Allow for a dark mode (white text over black background).
    • Updates and fixes to how the scripts interface with Waveshare drivers.
    • Re-working of how the various status displays are used to improve consistency, and keep the user aware its operations.
    • Better use of sleep, and screen refresh.
    • On receiving a signal to terminate the Serial to Bluetooth Bridge Services, the unit attempts to determine through the use of flags, if it is being restarted, shutting down, or just being stopped, and puts the appropriate status screen up. This is far from perfect though, and still need work.
  • For units with the pisugar2 UPS:
    • Now allows for a long-press (3+ seconds) on the power button to reboot the unit, or a short-press (1 to 2 seconds) the power button to safely shut the unit down.
    • Tuned the timers to more frequently poll the battery state as the battery's reserves gets lower. This is to prevent the unit from waiting too long to shutdown.
  • Many updates to the upgrade script:
    • Provides more status updates as it goes through the upgrade/install process
    • Many bug fixes, and formatting/grammar corrections.
    • Now will install and upgrade all dependencies regardless if you are using a basic, or full install.
  • README file - a lot of fixes.
