Recently there have been reports of intermittent difficulties
detecting U-Blox chips. This patch proposes a new approach that should
be more reliable.
Previously we were fighting with NMEA messages to try and send binary
commands. We unusually also tried changing the Baud rate of U-Blox
chips, something we don't do with any other GPS.
It turns out U-Blox has another method to disable NMEA
messages. PUBX,40 is a text-based command, supported on all the
U-Blox versions we care about that can set the rate of NMEA messages
to zero.
This is what we attempt to do with all other GPS and it works quite
well.
So this patch alters the probe code to:
1. Remove UBX binary code to stop NMEA messages
2. Remove code that tries to reset UBX chips to 9600 baud
3. Add UBX proprietary text commands messages to stop the NMEA flood
4. Improve log strings sent to the user.
Tested on Ublox 6, Ublox 9, and Ublox 10 on multiple devices.
Also tested on several devices with
non-Ublox GPS to ensure it does not interfere with their detection
(heltec-wireless-tracker, wio-tracker-wm11110)
@allanmac noted we were not enabling QZSS on the UC6580.
QZSS is an augmentation service that runs on the same frequency
as GPS, so turning it on should not have any impact on usage other
than improving performance for users in the Asia Pacific.

* Add stub health telemetry module
* Add detection for MAX30102 Health Sensor
It lives on I2C bus at 0x57, which conflicts with an existing
sensor. Add code to check the PARTID register for its response 0x15
per spec.
* Add detection for MLX90614
An IR Temperature sensor suitable for livestock monitoring.
* Add libraries for MLX90614 and MAX30102 sensors
* Fix Trunk
* Add support for MLX90614 IR Temperature Sensor
* Add support for MAX30102 (Temperature)
* Make it build - our first HealthTelemetry on the mesh.
If a MAX30102 is connected, its temperature will be sent to the
mesh as HealthTelemetry.
* Add spo2 and heart rate calculations to MAX30102
* Switch MLX90614 to Adafruit library
Sparkfun was having fun with SDA/SCL variables which we can avoid
by switching to this highly similar library.
* Enable HealthTelemetry if MLX90614 detected
* Change MLX90614 emissivity for human skin.
* Add health screen!
* Remove autogenerated file from branch
* Preparing for review
* Fix MeshService master sync from before.
* Prepare for review

* Toggle Blutooth with Fn+b shortcut
Problem:
As many are aware, ESP32 devices are known for their high power consumption. For instance, the Heltec ESP32 V3 draws around 110mA when powered on with the screen active and connected to a phone via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth radio alone is responsible for approximately 50mA of that consumption. For keyboard-based standalone devices, which rarely need Bluetooth other than for changing settings, users were forced to keep Bluetooth on regardless of necessity. There was no way to toggle Bluetooth on or off without physically connecting the device to a computer via serial or using the admin channel, which required another node for access.
Solution:
I implemented a new feature that allows users to turn off Bluetooth on keyboard devices by pressing Fn+b and turn it back on when needed. This enhancement significantly improves power efficiency for these devices.
Result:
With Bluetooth off, the device now consumes only 55mA. When combined with Power Save mode, the consumption can drop as low as 11mA, a substantial reduction from the previous 110mA. Users can still easily reconnect to a phone using the shortcut when necessary, offering greater flexibility and extended battery life.
* Remove 1 reboot at least.
I was able to prevent a reboot using the disableBluetooth(); command, current tested at 47-55mA, it doesn't require a reboot to turn off, but it does need reboot to turn back on.
* Update CannedMessageModule.cpp
* Fix LED pinout for T-Echo board marked v1.0, date 2021-6-28
* Merge PR #420
* Fixed double and missing Default class.
* Use correct format specifier and fixed typo.
* Removed duplicate code.
* Fix error: #if with no expression
* Fix warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive.
* Fix antenna switching logic. Complementary-pin control logic is required on the rp2040-lora board.
* Fix deprecated macros.
* Set RP2040 in dormant mode when deep sleep is triggered.
* Fix array out of bounds read.
* Admin key count needs to be set otherwise the key will be zero loaded after reset.
* Don't reset the admin key size when loading defaults. Preserve an existing key in config if possible.

There are three different frequencies available for Meshtastic
in the Philippines, each with pros and cons:
433 - 434.7 MHz <10 mW erp
868 - 869.4 MHz <25 mW erp
915 - 918 MHz <250 mW EIRP, no external antennna allowed
Philippines may also use LORA_24 unrestricted at up to 10mW, or up to
250mW if there is no external antennna.
Frequency rules in the Philippines are determined by aggregating the
information in laws, following the circulars referenced in the
[National Radio Frequency Allocation Table (NRFAT)](https://ntc.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2022/frequencyallocations/NRFAT_Rev_2020.pdf)
and then circulars that amend the circulars referenced in the NRFAT.
A full description of the regulatory basis can be found in the github issue:
https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/issues/4948#issuecomment-2394926135
For 433MHz and 868MHz we refer to the Low Power Equipment rules for
"Non-specific Short Range Devices, Telemetry, Telecommand, Alarms,
Data In General and Other Similar Applications.".
For 915MHz and Wireless Data Network Services indoor device rules.
A device approved by the NTC is required for any use of Meshtastic
in the Philippines.

Previously our debug message for screens blandly stated
"Module wants a UI Frame"
This patch replaces the word Module with the name of the Module
in need of a frame a frame, enhancing debugging ability.
GetTimeSinceMeshPacket was duplicated in PowerTelemetry and
EnvironmentalTelemetry, albeit one had a cooler name than the other.
As we add HealthTelemetry, to avoid creating a third instance of
this method, let's move it somewhere that makese sense.
Adds a new method GetTimeSinceMeshPacket to MeshService and updates
EnvironmentTelemetry and PowerTelemetry to use it.

In 2020, geeksville had a NRF52840-dk development board with a
busted oscilliator. Let's retire it from service :)

The lora-relay boards were important pathfinders for nrf52
support some years back. They are no longer commonly produced and
there are now many nrf52 options on the market. Retire these
boards and associated variant.
