Pulse AI Assistant

Pulse AI Assistant - Setup & Features Guide (V2.0)

🖥️ Enhanced Menu & User Interface Features

The User Interface (UI) has been completely redesigned to meet the professional standards of Enigma2 plugins. Key improvements include:

1. Dual-Screen Architecture

• Main Interface: Dedicated to seamless interaction and viewing AI-generated responses.
• Setup Menu: A separate, secure configuration screen (PulseAISetup). This prevents accidental changes to your API key while using the plugin.

2. Integrated Virtual Keyboard

• No more manual file editing: You no longer need to manually edit the plugin.py file to set up your credentials.
• Native Input: The plugin triggers the Enigma2 system keyboard, allowing you to easily type questions or paste your API key via the remote control or OpenWebif.

3. Color-Coded Navigation

• 🟢 GREEN Button: Context-sensitive action (Ask Question / Save Settings).
• 🟡 YELLOW Button: Quick access to the Setup menu from the main screen.
• 🔴 RED Button: Cancel or Exit.
• Graphical Icons: Visual button indicators are now visible on-screen for a more intuitive user experience.

4. Dynamic Status Monitoring

A real-time status label informs the user of the plugin's current state:

• "READY": System is idle and waiting for input.
• "THINKING...": The request is being processed by the AI.
• "ERROR!": Displayed if there is a connection issue or an invalid API key.

5. Advanced ScrollLabel Component

The response area now utilizes a ScrollLabel instead of a static text field.

• Scrolling: Users can navigate through long, detailed AI responses using the UP/DOWN arrows on the remote.
• Formatting: Text includes padding and is centered to ensure perfect visibility on 4K and OLED screens.

6. Auto-Scaling & Skin Compatibility

• Menus are defined with relative positioning (center, center), ensuring compatibility with various Enigma2 skins.
