Hi I am using meshtastic software with a RAK4631, GPS and a RAK1921 to display radios and messages. The software creates a multi-page output for the OLED. So I see several dots at the bottom of the screen associated with the meshed radios, the gps fix etc.
I need a way to page through these screens - does anyone know how this is done? Thanks!
Hi Fred,
I do not know much about Meshtastic, but I guess it assigns some GPIO’s as button inputs. I guess it should be in the Meshtastic documentation or you could ask in their forum.
Hi Bernd
Thanks for the response. I am asking about this in the Meshtastic Forum, I just thought you may have a standard approach. You are right in the Meshtastic firmware under the rak4631 board there is a file called variant.h - this defines four buttons. The four gpio pins are 11, 12, 24 and 25. I thought 11 and 12 could be TX1 and RX1 - is this right? How would you normally use them to scroll pages on the rak1921? I tried making a tactile switched button connection to gnd but this did not seem to work! Thanks for your help.
Oh, you just found a bug in our BSP. Thank you very much.
The RAK4631 has no buttons, but the variant.h defines 4 buttons. This is wrong.
11/12 are not connected to anything and 24/25 is the second I2C bus.
Available GPIOs on the RAK4631 are 17, 34, 21, 4, 9, 10
