Pinecil v2: Rename Bluetooth option or keep BLE?

[StevenSeifried]

Hey there,

I'm considering whether it makes sense to rename the Bluetooth option from BLE to Bluetooth or Bluetooth LE.
I think that the most users know what BLE mean, but Bluetooth or Bluetooth LE are more wildly used.

What do you think? Depending on the results of this survey, I will open a pull request (or not).

Bluetooth

Bluetooth LE

what about also adding the pixel art for Bluetooth symbol? several examples already exist, it would be best in just black & white.

needs to be a lot smaller than that. I'm not sure of the parameters for square icon on IronOS.

@discip do you know offhand if Bluetooth pixel icon could be done there?

[discip]

I could try.

Dicip this will also be good for non-english readers since that symbol is universal. needs no translation.

I agree, but unfortunately this is a very memory-hungry solution if we were to implement it throughout the firmware.

Please see the comment below for more background information.

I would not impement it on all the irons. there is no need since there is no bluetooth on anything else.
@discip the T80 and T80p do not have a Bluetooth category in advanced menu correct? so how would a BLuetooth icon affect them? They also do not have a lot of other features that Pinecil V2 has like all the extra code for detecting short and long ts100 tips since they don't support those tips.
I'm confused how a T80 not having memory is related to Bluetooth. Could you explain?

@StevenSeifried I vote for the Bluetooth Icon that Dicip just made. with words BLE.

but I don't mind if it's also the icon and bluetooth word or BLE word . Must have the Art Icon though as this is Universal Symbol!!
would be fantastic if the Icon art comes out with the 2.21 release as that will be first time that we have BLE onboard a stable release after ~6 months of testing.

i like pixel art

[StevenSeifried]

I had not thought of a Bluetooth symbol. It is a great idea. Thanks @River-Mochi

Thanks @discip for the icon. It's great

What do you think about
Symbol | BLE Enabled | Checkbox?
(Symbol | Bluetooth Enabled | Checkbox) should also fit on the screen

[River-Mochi]

I half agree with dicip and half with stephen . The pixel art will take space on screen
More than one character wide. might end up being art+ ble and box [x]

I'm willing to test any of them but getting icon on blisp is something I don't know how do yet . Need ralim or discip to get ble icon in there

@discip can you please contact me on Discord (GAMELASTER#8007) or EMAIL (gamiee@pine64.org)? Thanks!

Will do later, when I'm home again.

Hi,
is there any news regarding the BLE symbol implementation?

[River-Mochi]

on newest beta I just installed tonight with "firmware version sent on Ble" it shows this but no Bluetooth icon yet.
Having icon would be nice since it's universal

[River-Mochi]

need to wait for dicip to add Icon to Beta, and then could see what could fit there with Icon and the checkbox as must have.
