LILYGO has announced a raft of new microcontroller development boards targeting different niches: a low-frequency LoRa board, an ultra-widescreen display board, a LoRa-equipped ePaper display board, and a CAN bus board. The boards are powered by the Espressif ESP32-S3 microcontroller.
A tutorial on how to flash Meshtastic with the Fancy UI firmware on the LILYGO T-Deck Plus, including detailed steps and troubleshooting tips.
T-Beam Meshtastic is a wireless module with ESP32, LoRa, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth capabilities. It features a 0.96-inch OLED display and supports various frequency bands including 433/868/915/923Mhz.
Meshtastic is an off-grid mesh network for short messages, but its use is limited by the need for a phone app or web UI. The T-Deck offers a standalone solution, though it has its issues. The article covers the installation and use of the experimental T-Deck UI firmware, its limitations, and community reactions.
