Who wants to make blackberry style mesh radio encrypted communicators with e-ink displays?

You could use this for Meshtastic or Reticulum.

Think of all the nuts you can zap with this. Imagine how crisp your QR codes will look on this.

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 😀

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.

How to get started with MeshCore

first boot experience with 2.6 was pretty great, sometimes you need to roll down a bit further to get an OK CANCEL modal to clear but so far no big blockers in operation of the device. i'm re-deploying keypairs and channels later today so i might have a different opinion heh

i also updated a heltec v3 but that's what i clip to my bag around town usually, i need to get a new node i can leave running at the house on WiFi and get that #BBS code sorted out! #meshtastic #newUI #tdeck #radio

Meshtastic 2.6 Release Preview
By Crichton

“Meshtastic 2.6 Preview is here! This has been 1.5 years in the making and includes the first release of our brand new UI for standalone devices, Meshtastic UI or MUI for short. We're also rolling out an all new routing algorithm for Direct Messages. Plus more! We're super excited about this preview and it's probably our most feature-packed release since 2.0 back in November 2022. We can't wait to hear what you think!”

i'm definitely missing something in my #meshtastic firmware builds for #tdeck. even if i use someone else's compiled binaries with new-ui it installs correctly but the new UI isn't ever active. i've used webflasher with the zipball, the `.bin` for tdeck/s3, and also used espwebtool to load all four images into the documented offsets.

i'm using gitpod and i did this successfully once and never again 😂 i'm using the `tft-gui-work` branch in `firmware`, but `strings` has no [DeviceUI] syms on mine
