#t-deck — Public Fediverse posts

This is the #TDeck Max running #TactilityOS with support for the new chipsets found in the #TDeckMax over the Pro. If you got one of these new devices from #LilyGo you're probably wanting some more capability out of it too.

I have a repo I can give you if you want it now. These changes will be pushed upstream to the main TactilityOS repo for inclusion

Oh yay, the factory firmware for the #LilyGo #TDeckMax isn't production ready 🥲
There's a fix out for the Wi-Fi connection keyboard issue, but there's no chat app, the GPS doesn't work, accelerometer doesn't report, and it doesn't actually connect to the #meshtastic network yet. #TDeck

Well. i guess i'm learning how to set up my own #MQTT and #MeshMap or something soon...

#Meshtastic #TDeck

I shot a video preview of the #MonsterMesh the #Pokemon#Meshtastic firmware for the #TDeck. This is the original project and it's ready to start testing early versions. I'm waiting to post it to reddit on Monday morning to get maximum impact. Mastodon can see it early.

This video only shows some of the functionality. There's also a lot in the pipeline. Including some easter eggs you might be able to figure but by watching the video closely.

LILYGO T-Deck MAX is an upgraded mobile dev kit with an E Ink screen, QWERTY keyboard and 4G LTE

The LILYGO T-Deck MAX is a mobile communications device with an ESP32-S3 microprocessor, a 3.1 inch E Ink display, a QWERTY keyboard, and support for WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, and LoRa. In other words, it’s a lot like the T-Deck Pro that launched more than a year ago.

But while 4G LTE is optional on the Pro, it’s standard in the new Max model. And LILYGO has added several additional hardware […]

Hey #meshcore friends,

any idea why meshcore with Ripple GUI for my #tdeck / #tdeckplus is unresponsive/lagging?
Meshtastic and MeshOS work fine.

Продолжаю рубрику "всратые железяки". Довольно давно мне подарили t-deck pro. Однако добрался до него только сейчас. Играюсь с lvgl, ковыряю заводскую прошивку и пытаюсь сделать что то приличное. Буду по мере успехов и косяков писать наверное. На фотке - написал пока основу модуля читалки. Как дошлифую и соберу побольше шишек от платформы, впихну русскоязычные шрифты перейду к Лоре, либо к 4г-модему/телефону. #tdeck

I'll be releasing the tech demo of my #Meshtastic firmware project for the #TDeck that lets you play #Pokemon or any other GB game on the TDeck inside the meshtastic firmware.
This is probably the first/only preview I will release before we get the Cable Club (PvP Battles) working over off grid meshtastic messages with no internet.
If you're interested in testing it out I have the binaries on the discord for this project.

Wanted to update the firmware from Linux.

I managed using chromium and https://flasher.meshtastic.org/, but not until I restarted while holding down the scroll button, and running sudo setfacl -m u:avuko:rw /dev/ttyACM0.

Took me a blessed search to figure out this incantation, so this is my documentation.

#Tdeck arrived last week.

Pretty cool device, though honestly, the #BruceFirmware has been far more interesting than Meshtastic so far.

Looks like my #lilygo #tdeck just cleared customs this past weekend.

Hopefully I'll get to play with it in the next week or two.

Like I mentioned, I don't know a lot about #MeshNetworks, but I'd love to know what others think of the #MeshTastic systems. This seems to be a pretty up-to-date guide on how to set up a Mesh network (there wasn't a date on the piece, but they referenced QR codes). Personally, I'd rather go the #HamRadio route, but there's a few hoops to jump through for that (like the Ham radio test and licensing).

How to Set Up Meshtastic: A Beginner-Friendly Guide You Need

"Meshtastic enables encrypted communications over distances of 11 kilometers with uninterrupted line of sight. Setting up this powerful technology is surprisingly simple.

"A LILYGO® TTGO Meshtastic T-Beam board costs just $30 and ships with pre-installed software. The devices are equipped with AES256 encryption to ensure secure communications between authorized radios. A single 18650 battery powers these units for days without charging, and solar cells can keep them running indefinitely.

"This piece covers the complete setup process for #TBeam, #HeltecV3, and #TDeck hardware. You’ll learn everything about antenna installation, firmware updates, and message configuration to optimize your device’s performance in #OffGrid conditions."

IMHO, the #LILYGO #TDeck plus #meshtastic gadget is not worth the price of 90-100€ from a local distributor.

OK, it is a standalone device with a rudimentary keyboard and touchscreen, but there are more disadvantages, e.g.,

1. For setting up the device, you need to put it in a dedicated bluetooth mode and use an app on your mobile phone,

2. the GUI lacks many features of the app (such as a context menu for nodes),,

Finished my review and configuration guide of the Lilygo T-Deck Plus Meshtastic / LoRa radio. (This time with specs!)

All-in-all it's an interesting device, though the lack of a functional bluetooth radio while it's active is a real limiting factor in my use case, (as a personal radio that I can also use to remote admin other radios).

Anyway, see the full article if you're interested in more details; boosts/shares/comments are always welcome!

So I went on to resume my #Meshtastic experiments.

Yesterday used my #Wireguard VPN to broadcast my coordinates from the phone while the 868 MHz #tdeck was left at home on the wifi.

It worked just fine :)

FINALLY! A little clear time and headspace to work on a few bits and bobs. Been putting together my #tdeck #meshtastic setup, but I still also have my #picocalc and a wonderful @rc2014 picasso kit to put together! Progress in the coming weeks!

I already have a T-Deck Plus. Is it worth it to get a T-Deck Pro?

LILYGO T-Deck Pro is a mobile dev kit with an ePaper display, QWERTY keyboard, 4G and

Last summer LILYGO launched a pocket-sized mobile communications device called the T-Deck Plus that looks like a phone, but is really more of a mobile dev kit with a 2.8 inch IPS LCD display, a BlackBerry keyboard, and support for WiFi, Bluetooth, and LoRa wireless connectivity… but no support for cellular networks.

The new LilyGo T-Deck Pro is another mobile dev kit with a similar design […]

Es funktionierte nicht auf Anhieb, musste ich doch zunächst die GPS Sensor Baudrate von 9.600 auf 38.400 ändern, und das Erstellen der Kartenausschnitte (5 Stunden) und das auf die SD-Karte schreiben (nochmal 4 Stunden) hat ebenfalls "ein wenig" gedauert, aber schlussendlich ist mein T-Deck einsatzbereit 😀

Can anyone recommend (based on your usage/experience) a decent GNSS (GPS, Galileo, etc.) module for #LilyGo #TDeck ?

Would like one that has an external antenna connector, possibly an onboard battery for hot-start and maybe the u-blox M9 or M10 chip as the core.

Rapidly moving my meshtastic nodes over to meshcore 🤘🏿

Going very smoothly so far. Meshcore is notably very fast at message delivery and delivery confirmations back to the sender.

Thinking I'll leave my primary meshtastic infrastructure nodes up and build meshcore nodes to deploy next to them so as the network matures I can do head to head comparisons.

#tdeck #Notfallkommunikation #messaging

After a few days leaning to compile #meshtastic firmware, I got the experimental device-ui running on my #tdeck .
And aww, it feels so cool to chat over radio without a smartphone or any internet connection.

Also motivates me to learn more German :neocat_happy_blep:

Nachdem die erste Dockingstation leider nicht gepasst hatte, kam heute die korrigierte Version per DHL.
Diesmal ist alles in Ordnung 😀
