[Feature Request] - More info on node page
I posted this on discord and it seemed to have positive feedback. My suggestion is to add a single extra line to the node page for each individual node so the following is shown.
BAT% BATVoltage Last Heard LAT LON ALT #SATS RSSI SNR Channel (and/or freq.) TEMP HUM PRESS AIR-RESISTANCE (future sensors)
BATVoltage is key... the current structure of simply showing that it is plugged in is nearly useless. In the field I need to know once the battery is fully recharged and currently the only way to know is to disconnect, reconnect then look at the debug messages. Quite frustrating.
(Also: Easily seeing last known Lat/Long/Alt is great for SAR)
mine shows the battery voltage and percent when unplugged (there may be a hardware limitation when plugged in and not reading the voltage of the battery when charging). Is yours not and that's the reason to go to the debug?
Negative. The problem is it doesn't show the voltage of the battery while charging. The voltage is available in the debug while charging, it's just not available in the GUI.
We want to keep the devices connected to the charger for as little time as necessary because, as you know, once it gets full it stops taking a charge altogether (and starts drawing down the battery again). By knowing how close you are to a full charge you know how long you can walk away for (or must stay up at night waiting for it to finish charging).
i agree with everything you are saying except the drawing down the battery after. If you keep the nodes plugged in the charging circuit will keep the batteries topped up.
This is interesting... my nodes that are plugged in just show battery at 100% and the corresponding voltage. I always thought that the nodes showing the plug were "hard wired" nodes, not battery nodes that were charging
Bingo... And it shows the plug and no voltage.
It should always show the voltage so you know how close it is to being full.

@andrekir Could you reopen this one? That PR didn't include all the changes here
@b8b8 How important is it to actually see the coordinate values? I would love your opinion on this: https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/issues/545#issuecomment-1969312902
i think its really important to show the actual location coordinates. its good for screen shots and provides the raw data. I dont think this info should be dumbed down.
Battery voltage now shows 1 significant digit instead of 3. 3 significant digits is a bit overkill, but showing just 1 significant digit is nowhere as useful as 2...
Also: I think it's safe to assume any node reporting 0v is running on external power. No need to display an empty battery alert for those, just display plug icon and 0.00v...
Oh, yup, you're right. Looks like it used to show 2 and I changed it to 1. https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/commit/95c0d182806ea8f2ed16beef3d81819d78ccfbac I'll set it back to 2
@andrekir Not sure why merging #895 didn't close this one, but I believe this is complete
