mangavalkandClaude Opus 5.5 58a7cb03c2 Split the README into docs/ pages, add web UI screenshots
- README is the overview; web UI, pages, Home Assistant, how it works,
  wiring, Nano over WiFi and the recovery app have their own page in docs/.
- docs/web-ui.md has a screenshot of every tab, made with headless Edge by
  tools/make_webui_screenshots.py.
- The web UI opens a page in the editor with #pages/<name>. Version 2.7.2.
- The reply wire is fitted (flashing the Nano over WiFi works).

Wiring between ESP32 and Nano

← Back to the README

The ESP32 talks to the Nano on UART2 (Serial2, 115200 baud). The ESP32's own Serial (UART0, USB) is free for debug output.

ESP32 Nano Notes
GPIO 17 (TX2) D0 (RX) Display commands
GPIO 16 (RX2) D1 (TX) READY and ERR replies, and bootloader answers when flashing over WiFi. Use a 5 V → 3.3 V voltage divider (e.g. 1 kΩ / 2 kΩ), because the ESP32 is not 5 V tolerant. Without it, the ESP waits a fixed 3 s after power-on, and nano_ota doesn't work.
GPIO set in NANO_RESET_PIN RESET (through an NPN transistor) Optional, only needed to flash a Nano with Optiboot over WiFi. See Bootloaders.
GND GND Common ground
GPIO 13 Relay input Relay powers the panels and the Nano (LOW = on)
