Hey DIY enthusiasts!

I’m currently working on my latest ESPHome project, this time it’s my first wearable! I’m building a custom smartwatch based on the LilyGO T-Watch S3.

So far, I’ve got the core features using official components:

✨ Display & Touch support with LVGL
🔊 Audio and IR
🌐 WiFi / Internet

Next: bit more "under the hood" tweaking, like battery monitoring, vibration motor, and accelerometer. Stay tuned!

I'm updating my T-Decks to Ripple 9.2 today. Fun Stuff.

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.

sooo this weekend I finally flashed #Meshtastic onto the #pager 🙌

HOT TIP, when they say "check that your cable isn't power-only", THERE'S A REASON THEY SAY THAT. if it doesn't work, check your cable.. swap it out.. try a different one... Ask me how I know 🙃

Anyway, once that was done, I was shocked to find that I was able to see 4-8 nodes online at any given point!

There's still SO much I don't know, but this is a fun little starter device IMHO.

#mesh #LilyGo

Live tracking with 4× LilyGO T-Beam SUPREME units.

Each node transmits GPS coords every 10s, logs TX/RX to SD, and stays µs-disciplined to avoid collisions. A Semtech SX1303 sniffer on an RPi 4B captures all traffic → UDP → CSV → live web map with fading positions. Includes 49 second video (sped up 500%).

Structured Exercise 12 now documented:
