8 track oscilloscope doesn't show #24

Open dylanzt opened 1 year ago

Not sure if I'm missing something but at a skim of the repo couldn't find any indication this is an unsupported feature and/or known bug. The all-track oscilloscope accessed by pressing all the arrow keys doesn't show for me. It shows on the physical unit but the web display will freeze on the last shown screen and return to normal when the scope is closed.

Firmware 3.0.1 Windows Chrome 64 bit 111.0.5563.147

This is normal―you can only view the oscilloscope locally on a hardware M8. It can't be displayed remotely due to serial throughput limitations.

That makes total sense. Am I missing a note on this somewhere in the repo or is it worth dropping a mention of it in the README?

colonel-blimp commented 1 year ago

I only know about it because it came up once or twice in the M8 discord.

It might be worth putting in a PR to mention quirks like this, but: the oscilloscope feature isn't even documented in the M8 manual―it's intended to be an Easter egg. Happy Easter!
