T-Echo screen and button performance #3840

Closed todd-herbert closed 2 months ago

todd-herbert commented 2 months ago

Two small tweaks which I believe improve the T-Echo UX. Changes affect only the T-Echo.

Disable ghost-pixel tracking

"Ghost pixels" referring to the after-image left by setting black pixels to white with a fast refresh. These artifacts are fairly faint for this model of display, and there doesn't seem to be much benefit in tracking / actively avoiding them with the T-Echo. Disabling this results in fewer full-refreshes; a smoother experience.

Increase the "click ms" value

This value determines how long a button waits to register a double-press, before accepting the current input as a single click. This PR increases the value from 250ms to 400ms. I don't believe this is perceptible when single-pressing, as the display refresh operation is fairly slow.

The benefit is that the double, triple, and quad presses are easier to execute.

To enable this change, the PR allows for variant-specific "click ms" values. If not specified, the current values are used as a default.

Really nice, much easier with quad click for backlight now :)
