MeshCore Cardputer ADV + Cap LoRa 1262 variant

This variant designed to not change the original codebase. I tried to make the implementation as clean as possible.

Building

1. Get a copy of MeshCore. Current development is based on v1.15.0.

2. Copy the variants/cardputer_adv directory from this repository into the variants directory of the MeshCore source tree.

3. Run in the MeshCore directory:

Build:

platformio run --environment cardputer_adv_companion_radio_ble

Build and flash:

platformio run --target upload --environment cardputer_adv_companion_radio_ble

State

Currently implemented (companion):

• Cap LoRa-1262 initialization (+ port extender)
• G0 Button
• Basic display
• BLE connection
• GPS support
• GPS power management with CAS commands (Cap LoRa-1262 does not have a GPS switch pin)
• Store data to SD card
• Basic speaker support (keyboard/message beeps)
• Basic keyboard support (left/right/enter)

Todo:

• More complex UI with ability to change settings, write messages
• Find a way to include MeshCore as submodule in this repository and build it from here
• GPS will turn on again after 18 hours (max standby time is 65535 seconds)
