Pull request overview

This PR introduces a new (WIP) hardware variant for the RadioMaster Nomad Gemini (LR11x0-based) and adds shared infrastructure for (1) external PA power mapping/bias control and (2) standardized fan enable control (including optional PWM) across several existing variants.

Changes:

  • Add a new radiomaster_nomad_gemini variant (pins, LR11x0 RF-switch table, and a new PlatformIO env file).
  • Add a generic “external PA” hook layer and a Nomad-specific implementation using an ESP32 DAC pin (APC2) to bias an analog PA.
  • Standardize PA fan control by renaming RF95_FAN_EN → RADIO_FAN_EN, centralizing fan enable/disable in RadioLibInterface, and adding optional PWM support.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Fan control is centralized under RADIO_FAN_EN with PWM support. A new external PA interface is integrated with radio power and lifecycle paths and implemented for Nomad Gemini. Input, keyboard, modem preset, and CH341 handling are also updated.

Changes

Radio hardware control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fan control implementation
src/mesh/RadioLibInterface.*, src/main.*, src/modules/AdminModule.cpp
Adds shared fan helpers, PWM/GPIO handling, and the default pa_fan_percentage value.
Radio fan lifecycle wiring
src/mesh/*Interface.cpp
Uses shared fan helpers during radio initialization and sleep.
Fan variant configuration
variants/esp32/.../variant.h, variants/esp32s3/t-beam-1w/variant.h
Renames fan-control macros to RADIO_FAN_EN and adds RADIO_FAN_PWM for the RadioMaster 900 Bandit.
External PA interface and radio wiring
src/mesh/RadioExternalPa.*, src/mesh/RadioInterface.cpp, src/mesh/LR11x0Interface.cpp
Adds power mapping and lifecycle hooks with weak defaults, then invokes them during power configuration, TX, receive idle, and sleep.
Nomad Gemini PA and board support
src/platform/extra_variants/radiomaster_nomad_gemini/variant.cpp, variants/esp32/radiomaster_nomad_gemini/*
Adds calibration-based PA mapping, APC2 DAC control, build configuration, RF-switch tables, and board definitions.

Platform and input updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Input and keyboard handling
src/input/InputBroker.cpp, src/main.cpp
Changes the ThinkNode M8 double-press action to privacy toggle, guards I2C keyboard initialization, and detects STC8HKB.
Radio platform utilities
src/mesh/RadioInterface.cpp, src/main.cpp
Adds modem preset recognition and changes CH341 recovery to smart-pointer reset and construction.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0a4e5

This PR changes radio fan control and currently leaves two concrete failure paths: when PWM setup fails, later fan updates may not affect the GPIO-controlled fan, and SX126x sleep may leave the fan powered. These can cause incorrect cooling behavior and unnecessary power draw, so the PR is not merge-ready until both paths are corrected.

5-20: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Comment exceeds repo's brevity guideline.

This doc comment is useful, but the repo guideline caps comments at one or two lines. Consider trimming to a short summary and moving the detailed rationale to a design doc/PR description.

rationale and mechanism comparison out of the comment. Keep the public API
context around RadioExternalPa and the weak defaults in RadioExternalPa.cpp, but
trim the explanatory paragraphs to fit the repo comment-length guideline.

14-56: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Move the pasted ELRS reference dump out of the header comment.

This ~40-line block of raw reference data (JSON snippets, macros, tables) far exceeds the repo's comment-brevity guideline and reads as leftover scratch notes rather than documentation for this code. Consider moving it to the PR description, a design doc, or trimming to a one-line pointer to the ELRS source.

Trim the header doc comment per repo comment-brevity guideline.

Same brevity guideline applies here as in RadioExternalPa.h.

1129-1129: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Drop the no-op XOR.

LOW ^ 0 and HIGH ^ 0 always evaluate to LOW/HIGH; the XOR adds nothing but confusion.

-    digitalWrite(RADIO_FAN_EN, config.lora.pa_fan_disabled ? (LOW ^ 0) : (HIGH ^ 0));

config.lora.pa_fan_disabled, keeping the same behavior while removing the
redundant XOR.

1111-1113: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Trim the comment block to the guideline's 1-2 line limit.

As per coding guidelines, "Keep code comments minimal: one or two lines maximum, only when the reason is not obvious." This block has three comment lines.

Minor: pinMode re-issued on every call.

Calling pinMode(RADIO_FAN_EN, OUTPUT) inside both enableFan() and disableFan() on every invocation (rather than once at init) is redundant but harmless.

- Around line 1116-1123: Update the PWM failure branch in the radio fan
initialization: after `ledcSetup()` fails, configure `RADIO_FAN_EN` as an output
and drive it to a safe state based on `config.lora.pa_fan_disabled` (or abort
initialization if that is the intended policy), ensuring the pin is never left
unmanaged.
- Around line 259-260: Handle a false return from ledcSetup() during PA fan
initialization by applying a safe fallback, such as configuring the fan GPIO and
forcing the fan on, rather than only logging a warning. Update the
initialization logic around pa_fan_percentage so the radio cannot continue
without cooling when PWM setup fails.

Pass frequency in Hz to radioExternalPaMapPower()

getFreq() returns MHz, but the hook documents freqHz. Convert the argument here or rename the parameter/docs; otherwise a band-aware external PA override will read the wrong unit.

Note

GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer.

Fall back to plain GPIO fan control when ledcSetup() fails so the PA
is never left uncooled. Rename the external PA hook frequency
parameter to freqMhz to match what getFreq() returns. Trim oversized
comments per repo guideline.
The CI matrix generator now requires board_level on every environment.

Preserve the GPIO fallback after PWM initialization fails.

After ledcSetup() fails, src/main.cpp drives RADIO_FAN_EN as GPIO. Later enableFan() and disableFan() still call ledcWrite(). Fan state changes can then have no physical effect. This can leave a fan off after configuration enables it.

  • src/main.cpp#L1195-L1200: Store whether PWM initialization succeeded.
  • src/mesh/RadioLibInterface.cpp#L815-L824: Use GPIO control when the stored mode is GPIO fallback.
  • src/modules/AdminModule.cpp: Apply the same stored mode during administrative fan updates.

Disable the fan in SX126xInterface<T>::sleep().

Line 67 enables the fan. SX126xInterface<T>::sleep() does not call disableFan(). The fan can remain powered while the radio sleeps.

Call disableFan() before sleep() returns.
