Settings

Note: This panel currently can't be opened from the on-screen panel list - its menu entry is commented out in firmware. The device's on-screen Settings home - pick a category to jump straight to its settings. It's a hand-maintained subset of what's in the console's Settings menu; RTC, Analog In, and Orca settings aren't listed here yet (Orca has its own Orca Setup panel).

Main CPU Setup

Picks and edits every setting the main-CPU firmware exposes as its own category - communication buses, both onboard radios, GPIO directions, the NeoPixel light show, Wifi, Bluetooth, the websocket server, Neptune CAN/LIN/SENT, and a general category.

The screen

A list titled "Setup" with fourteen categories: SPI, I2C, UART, FPGA Clock, Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio Frequency Analyzer, GPIO Directions, NeoPixel Light Show, Wifi, BT, Websocket Server, Neptune CAN LIN SENT, General. Opening one replaces the list with that category's own fields, each shown as "Name [value]".

Blue is labeled Save, but a short press does nothing - see below. Red carries a back-arrow label while a field list is open and steps back to the categories list; on the categories list itself it has no label and does nothing. HOME leaves the screen from here, as it does everywhere else in the menu.

Editing a field

Opening a field shows whatever dialog fits its type: a number pad, a hex entry, a text box, or a pick list. A plain on/off field, or a pick list with only two choices, has no dialog at all - selecting it just flips the value in place. Confirming a dialog writes that one field to flash immediately and returns you to the field list, so it survives a reboot from that point on - nothing is ever left unsaved, which is why tapping Blue does nothing. Holding Blue instead resets every field in every category on this screen back to its factory default, right away and without asking to confirm.

Where this fits

This screen is not on the on-device main menu; it is reached from the console, since Setup & Actions (Menu Xplorer) on the main menu now covers the same ground from inside the ordinary menu system. The Display Setup screen is a separate set of categories that belongs to the display side of the device instead of the main CPU - see Display Setup.
