  • Prefer TF card; otherwise Flash LittleFS: /shot/<group>_<app>_<feature>.png (e.g. exi2c_gps_live.png; duplicates get _002)
  • When space is low, existing shots are not deleted; the device shows no space for shot
  • On success the screen flashes once (invert); beep is controlled by Options → Sound → screenshot (sound.screenshot)
  • Preview, download, delete one, or clear TF / Flash shots at /shots in Config Web
  • Info → Storage: press c to clear all shots (y confirm / n cancel)

Top Bar

The main menu and most Apps show WiFi / BLE status, battery, page dots, and similar info in the top bar. Back always uses ESC / GO — headers no longer draw a return icon.

Sound Feedback

Some actions (e.g. Mijia on/off, Time key presses, screenshots) can enable/disable beeps via Options or Config Web, and adjust speaker volume with sound.volume (0–100).
