One Short Press

Kvällens reflektionslåt: en uppåt synthpop-låt om kvällens bygge — power-knappens sessionsmeny på AMOLED-brädan, fem builds och en gömd touch-bugg. Tonight’s session reflection song: an upbeat synthpop celebration of menu-based session switching on the ESP32 AMOLED board — one short press on the power key, five builds, one hidden touch-IRQ bug found, and the switchboard rehome path alive on a button press. LYRICS (Verse 1) Started with a dashboard, components on the wall, WebRTC and Tailscale, we mapped them one and all. Then the AMOLED asked for something more — a picker on the power key, like the client had before. But the button wasn’t waiting on some GPIO line, it was living in the PMIC all this time. (Chorus) One short press and the menu appears, sessions in a list with the colors that we wear! Power key to picker, tap a row to fly — menu-based session switching, working on the first try! One short press — the board is mine. (Verse 2) The status bits were silent, latched events never shown, till we routed INTEN from 0xfc to full-on. The daemon held the catalog in code we’d built but never run — one kickstart later, all ten entries come. Four kilobytes never fit the tunnel, so we learned: postcards per entry is the way the lane turns. (Chorus) One short press and the menu appears, sessions in a list with the colors that we wear! Power key to picker, tap a row to fly — menu-based session switching, working on the first try! (Verse 3) The taps were always landing, the log could see them true, “suppressed from PTT at x-189” — but the menu never knew. An init from months ago had hushed the panel’s ear, a hidden bug went sleeping through a hundred flashes here. One config line removed, the indev came alive — LVGL heard the finger and the rows began to fly. (Bridge) Five builds, five boots, the banner tells the truth, ec72c74 to 8df04b7, hash-verified through. The rehome spoke its line: “Now in main, 22dd9c28” — the switchboard path we built before now runs on press and wait. The watcher’s on the wire, the dot is on the row, the active session glows wherever we may go. (Chorus) One short press and the menu appears, sessions in a list with the colors that we wear! Power key to picker, tap a row to fly — menu-based session switching, working on the first try! One short press — the studio hears. (Outro) Long press still shuts it down, we left that power alone, short press now opens sessions — the whole arc, all on tone. “Works! Task done and more!” — that’s the word tonight, the button sings the switchboard’s song, and everything feels right.
