# CrossPoint User Guide
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the **CrossPoint** firmware. This guide outlines the hardware controls, navigation, and reading features of
|
|
the device.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Hardware Overview
|
|
|
|
The device utilises the standard buttons on the Xtink X4 in the same layout:
|
|
|
|
### Button Layout
|
|

|
|
| **Right Side** | **Power**, **Volume Up**, **Volume Down** |
|
|

|
## 2. Power & Startup
|
|
|
|
### Power On / Off
|
|
|
|
To turn the device on or off, **press and hold the Power button for half a second**. In **Settings** you can configure
|
|
the power button to trigger on a short press instead of a long one.
|
|
|
|
### First Launch
|
|
|
|
Upon turning the device on for the first time, you will be placed on the **Home** screen.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** On subsequent restarts, the firmware will automatically reopen the last book you were reading.

## 3. Screens
|
|
|
|
### 3.1 Home Screen
|
|
|
|
The Home Screen is the main entry point to the firmware. From here you can navigate to the **Book Selection** screen,
|
|
**Settings** screen, or **File Upload** screen.
|
|
|
|
### 3.2 Book Selection (Read)
|
|
|
|
The Book Selection acts as a folder and file browser.
|
|
|
|

|
|
and down through folders and books.
|

### 3.3 Reading Screen
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 3.4 File Upload Screen
|
|
|
|
The File Upload screen allows you to upload new e-books to the device. When you enter the screen you'll be prompted with
|
|
a WiFi selection dialog and then your X4 will start hosting a web server.
|
|
|
|
See the [webserver docs](./docs/webserver.md) for more information on how to connect to the web server and upload files.
|
|
|
|
### 3.5 Settings
|
|
|
|
The Settings screen allows you to configure the device's behavior. There are a few settings you can adjust:
|
|
- **White Sleep Screen**: Whether to use the white screen or black (inverted) default sleep screen
|
|
- **Extra Paragraph Spacing**: If enabled, vertical space will be added between paragraphs in the book, if disabled,
|
|
paragraphs will not have vertical space between them, but will have first word indentation.
|
|
- **Short Power Button Click**: Whether to trigger the power button on a short press or a long press.
|
|
