A test and code-analysis round of 0.2.72 to 0.2.76 (suites at every tag, sanitizers, ESP32 and GitHub builds, host harnesses on both boards, the editor in a browser, best practice checked against ESPHome, LVGL, Home Assistant and Vue) found these, fixed here with Max's choices for the product questions: - Firmware 0.2.65: the second hand of a single analog clock moves again; on a page that is one full on/off tile the waking push also switches it; on the Guition a flick is never a tap and a finger that slides off a tile doesn't tap it; Previous/Next react to a firm press; the same Go to page tile may sit on several pages; a layout the screen has no memory for is refused instead of crashing; 64-bit redraw mask for 48 tiles; Montserrat 14 no longer built. - App: Save refuses a layout too long for one message or too big for eight pages; an offline screen keeps its firmware version from the device registry; HA refusals reach the editor; 128 KB requests; changelog out of the live stream; cached hashed assets; tini as init and a clean stop; changelog parsing without asterisks or crashes. - Editor: clicking the open screen keeps unsaved edits, edits during a save stay unsaved, a Page row and phone dragging to other pages, repeated page tiles, limits from the server, HA's error messages, a type-checked build. - tools/check.sh + GitHub Actions + a CYD flash budget; docs match 48 tiles and the new editor.

# Test results app 0.2.75 / firmware 0.2.63 (2026-09-18)
|
|
|
|
Max: "dit icon ziet er overal gek uit op de CYD", with a photo of the mdi:power glyph on a grey key: a lumpy,
|
|
uneven ring. This release draws the icon fonts with four bits per pixel on both boards. See CHANGELOG 0.2.75.
|
|
Built on 0.2.74 (full-page tiles, `bb25353`), which itself follows 0.2.73 (the Vue editor, `1ed42dc`).
|
|
|
|
## What happened before
|
|
|
|
- Every Material Design Icons `font:` block of both boards (28/18/12 px on the CYD, 42/26/18 px on the Guition, plus
|
|
the 40/64 px font of a full-page tile since 0.2.74) had no `bpp`. ESPHome's default is 1 bit per pixel: it loads
|
|
each glyph with `FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO`, so every pixel is either fully on or off. The Roboto text fonts had `bpp: 4`
|
|
since the first release; nothing in the history or the docs says the icons were left at 1 on purpose.
|
|
- A thin stroke suffers most. The ring of mdi:power at 18 px (the climate power key, the settings page) comes out
|
|
between one and two pixels wide around its circumference; at 28 px (a tile) the ring still wobbles. Filled icons
|
|
such as the lightbulb or the cog only get a ragged outline. Rendering the real glyphs through freetype the way
|
|
ESPHome does, side by side at 1 and 4 bpp, showed exactly the ring of Max's photo.
|
|
|
|
## What changed
|
|
|
|
- `bpp: 4` on every MDI font block of `home-like-2432s028.yaml` and `guition-4848s040.yaml`; packages regenerated.
|
|
- `tools/generate_icons.py` (FONT_BLOCK) and `tests/test_tile_icons.py` expect the `bpp: 4` line between `size`
|
|
and `glyphs`, so the icon generator keeps it on every rewrite.
|
|
- No change to the tile protocol, the layouts or the app; the app raises `FIRMWARE_VERSION` so the manager offers
|
|
the update.
|
|
|
|
## Flash on the CYD
|
|
|
|
Measured by compiling the same profile twice at the same commit (0.2.72, `9f5694b`), only the `bpp` lines differ:
|
|
|
|
| Build | firmware.bin | of the 1.835 MB app slot |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| 1 bpp (before) | 1 538 032 bytes | 83.8 % |
|
|
| 4 bpp (this release) | 1 632 736 bytes | 89.0 % |
|
|
| difference | +94 704 bytes | +5.2 points |
|
|
|
|
Correction (after the release): that table was measured at 0.2.72, before 0.2.74's 40 px full-page icon font, which
|
|
also went to 4 bpp. The released CYD build of this commit (`261fa82`) is 1 655 584 bytes, 90.2 % of the 1 835 008-byte
|
|
slot: +107 744 bytes against 0.2.74 (1 547 840 bytes, 84.4 %), matching ESPHome's own glyph count (+107 756 bytes).
|
|
So the release costs 108 KB, not 95 KB, and the slot is 90 % full, not 89 %. Static RAM 21.7 % (71 188 of 327 680
|
|
bytes); about 180 KB stay free for later rounds.
|
|
|
|
The glyph bitmaps alone grow by 108 KB (309 icons at three sizes plus the big font, counted with freetype); the
|
|
linker's alignment takes a little of that back. Fonts live in flash, so RAM does not move (24.1 % static in both
|
|
builds). 2 bpp would have cost 38 KB but still shows four grey steps on a thin ring; the Guition has 16 MB flash and
|
|
gets the same 4 bpp so both brands look alike.
|
|
|
|
## Automated
|
|
|
|
- Python (`.venv-portal`, `unittest discover -s tests`): 409 tests OK on 0.2.74 plus this change (386 before the
|
|
rebase, at 0.2.72; the icon-font test now insists on `bpp: 4` in all four blocks).
|
|
- C++ (`clang++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -I.`): 17/17 PASS, before and after the rebase.
|
|
- `tools/generate_packages.py --check` and `tools/generate_icons.py --check` green.
|
|
- `esphome compile home-like-2432s028.yaml` and `esphome compile guition-4848s040.yaml` from a worktree
|
|
(`icon-bpp`), sequentially.
|
|
|
|
## Hardware
|
|
|
|
- Pending: the bench CYD flashed with this firmware, then Max looks at the power key, a light tile and the
|
|
settings page.
