Waveshare AMOLED 1.43C · 0.14.7: New profile for the 8 MB ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.43C: the full 466 px touch interface, BOOT-button navigation, a speaker connector and a battery estimate from cell voltage. It has no SD slot, RTC or GPS, and it does not fit the plain 1.43 or 1.43-B. Pre-release builds have been installed and started on one board; the picture, touch, buttons and sound await confirmation. Other board downloads remain on their existing versions. Setup and buttons · Release notes.
Waveshare AMOLED 1.75C · 0.14.6: Hold the smaller BOOT button for two seconds and release to sleep while the clock keeps ticking; short-press the larger PWR button to wake. The display and radios turn off during sleep. The four-screen cycle and stopwatch buttons are unchanged. Other board downloads remain on their existing versions. Controls and release notes.
M5Stack Dial v1.1: Version 0.13.27 adds ring navigation, touch menus, radar dot actions and separate Time/Date settings. Display, controls and RTC restart checks passed on Dial v1.1. See the guide for the compact profile’s feature limits; original K130 remains untested.
Press a dot for immediate selection, then tap its summary or double-tap for details. Device shades are distinct within their type's color range; AirTags stay low priority. Find My Beeper can repeat one selected tracker or Beep All, with a visible Stop control, sequential requests and per-device results. Instructions · Validation.
The round H0175Y003AM 1.75-inch model now has its own installer profile. Its display/touch pins and flash layout match the owner's tested 0.13.20 binary. The current build adds validated PCF8563 RTC saves and SPI-card support; new shutdown retention and SD behavior still need physical tests. Installation, RTC backup and SD instructions. This profile does not cover the rectangular 1.64-inch or 1.43-inch panels.
A native 480 × 480 stationary profile with touch and rotary controls: turn to highlight, press to select, and hold to return home. Internal storage replaces SD functions; time synchronizes over USB or a saved Wi-Fi network. Display centering, ring navigation, scanning and clock/timer operation have passed initial hardware checks. Installation and controls.
The tested non-C baseline now has SD-first profiles, events, captures and surveys, plus a separate LC76G GPS build for Wi-Fi/BLE wardriving and WiGLE CSV. Tap a dot for its summary; double-tap for details, Hunt and BLE/GATT tools. Both boards now have verified physical Wi-Fi/BLE SD captures. The GPS model adds a direct Start Wardrive button, live counters and save-before-exit controls. The receiver acquired a fix with its antenna outside, and 6,701 located CSV rows passed SD readback checks. The GPS build adds explicit WiGLE/WDGoWars uploads configured on SD; live authenticated service imports and moving routes remain unverified. No mandatory SD pack is needed. This local development build has not replaced the public flasher release. The standard 1.75 now offers optional external UART GPS under SYSTEM → GPS setup, disabled until configured. Both variants can recover an unset clock from a fresh GPS fix; RTC retention during power-off requires a battery supply. External GPS wiring. Hardware guide · RTC / external GPS validation · Located wardrive validation.
On every board, the clock and stopwatch/Locksport Timer pause background Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Lap history and time/date settings also stay paused. Return to the radar or other tools to resume scanning; a running timer keeps counting in the background. Previously configured Wi-Fi clock recovery may briefly connect for time synchronization. See power-saving behavior.
Build your own clock, radar and counter in the Custom theme tab. Add a logo, choose colors, hands and numerals, and enable locksport controls. The personal slot appears on the device only after you explicitly install a design. Creator guide.
- Open the web flasher in desktop Chrome or Edge and connect your board with a USB data cable.
- Select the exact board. Use Update matching Dragon Detector for a compatible installation, or Fresh install for a new board. Fresh install replaces saved files and settings.
- Choose Connect & install and keep USB connected until installation and automatic date/time verification finish.

The eleven full profiles share the radar, 45 built-in themes, logo watch faces, timers, notebook, badge editor, radio tools, and BLE Lab. StopWatch and the Waveshare AMOLED 1.75 models support 2 MiB captures and 2 MiB recon sessions; the 8 MB AMOLED 1.43C has 1 MiB captures and 256 KiB sessions. Their total file storage differs.
Lite provides five button-operated pages: radar, clock, timer, signals, and diagnostics. It shares detection and all 45 built-in themes, with compact clocks. It does not include Badge Studio, audio, or active labs.
Firmware is board-specific. The Waveshare 1.43C, 1.75C, 1.75 and 1.75-G each have a separate installer profile, and the 1.43C profile does not fit the plain 1.43 or 1.43-B. Non-C SD captures and GPS transport have passed bench checks; GPS routes still await field testing. Elecrow has passed initial checks on one unit.

The Watcher port adds touch and rotary navigation, SD logging, optional manufacturer resources, RTC and speaker integration. External AT6668 GPS wiring is documented but GPS testing is deferred. Camera, microphone recording and Himax AI are not enabled. See the Watcher guide for installation, pin mapping and validation status.
