Worked on the meshtastic/firmware repository to implement cross-device touch-to-backlight support for the T-Echo family of devices. Using C++ and embedded systems expertise, generalized the e-ink backlight gating mechanism by replacing device-specific logic with a device-agnostic approach based on the PIN_EINK_EN signal. This change enabled the touch-to-backlight feature on all devices equipped with an e-ink backlight pin, achieving feature parity between T-Echo and T-Echo Plus models. The solution addressed a previously reported limitation, resolved Issue #7630, and reduced ongoing support needs by ensuring consistent firmware behavior across supported hardware. Focus areas included firmware development and hardware abstraction.
March 2026: Implemented cross-device touch-to-backlight support for the T-Echo family by generalizing the e-ink backlight gate. Replaced device-specific gating (TTGO_T_ECHO_PLUS) with a device-agnostic PIN_EINK_EN, enabling the feature on all devices with an e-ink backlight pin and achieving parity across T-Echo and T-Echo Plus. This resolves the previously gated limitation (Issue #7630) and enhances user experience on affected hardware.
