# Use the sensor's local touchscreen.

> Touch tools, the full web console, on-screen typing and Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad pairing.

Unified **2.1.36 beta** includes an opt-in local console for the tested Pi 5
CUQI/MHS35 3.5-inch GPIO/SPI panel. Other panels need their own supported profile;
matching screen size alone is not compatibility.

## Open a tool or the full website

The home screen has six large tiles: **Wi-Fi, Capture, Network tests, Services,
Results and Device**. They use the same local tools, jobs and result storage as
the remote web console. **Full Console** opens the complete sensor website with
a compact page selector. Expert tools keep their own interfaces.

| Toolbar control | Use |
| --- | --- |
| Home | Return to the six tool tiles |
| Back | Return through local pages |
| Up / Down | Scroll the page or focused scroll area |
| Keys | Show or hide the on-screen keyboard |
| Lock | Sign out and clear the local browser session |

Drag page content to scroll, or use Up/Down for smaller steps. Tap a text field
to type; **Done** finishes and **Cancel** restores its previous value. Shift and
the number/function layer provide symbols. Small keys work best with a stylus
or an external keyboard. For long configuration forms, opening the same console
on a laptop or phone is often more comfortable.

Browser speed tests are hidden on the local panel because loopback would not
measure your LAN. Use a LAN-bound iPerf3/xfr listener and a second network client.

## Pair a Bluetooth keyboard or touchpad

Open **Device → Bluetooth**, put the accessory in pairing mode, scan and select
it. Discovery can show nearby unnamed devices; choose the name or identity of
your intended accessory. Follow the displayed prompt:

- Type a displayed pairing code on the Bluetooth keyboard and press Enter.
- Approve a matching code when the accessory supports confirmation.
- Enter the accessory's documented PIN when asked, or explicitly approve a
  device that pairs without a code. Do not assume every accessory uses 0000.

**Input ready** means a saved bond and Linux input device were found. Check
actual typing, pointer movement and scrolling. A combined keyboard/touchpad may
create multiple input devices. The IS11-BT05 combination worked in the lab;
other accessories still need individual testing. USB receiver accessories use
normal USB input and do not need Bluetooth pairing.

Saved devices offer **Reconnect, Disconnect and Forget**. Forget requires
confirmation and removes that accessory's bond. Pairing is limited to an
owner-controlled window; sign-out, timeout or leaving the pairing page cancels
it. Existing phone/PAN bonds are kept separate.

## Orientation, calibration and locking

Select the supported display profile and **0° or 180°** orientation in Device,
then restart. Settings are bound to this Pi and persist on Data across signed
A/B updates. Recalibration uses four corner targets and a center check.

The standard profile requests **48 MHz SPI / 30 Hz refresh scheduling**. Choose **60 Hz · experimental** in Device to try the faster schedule. The
lab panel passed an operator smoothness check at this setting. The selection
stays on Data and is reapplied to verified boot assets during OTA updates.
Neither setting guarantees that many complete frames per second: SPI bandwidth,
changed screen area and rendering affect visible performance. A capacitive or
HDMI panel is not enabled automatically by selecting this SPI profile.

Lock signs out immediately. Five minutes without input also clears the ephemeral
browser session. The local browser verifies this sensor's HTTPS identity and
retains its sandbox; local touch access uses the same owner permissions as a
remote browser.
