According to #AliExpress, the official outlet for #Heltec and #Lilygo, you cannot buy their private and secure off-grid radio boards unless you use Facebook/Telegram.

Order undelivered, refund denied, case closed.

I doubt they can even appreciate the irony of this asshole move.

Cześć miłośnicy DIY!

Oto mój najnowszy projekt w ESPHome – tym razem to mój pierwszy krok w stronę technologii ubieralnych (wearables)! Buduję własny zegarek na bazie LilyGO T-Watch S3.

Ustawiłem już kluczowe elementy przy użyciu oficjalnych komponentów:

✨ Wyświetlacz i dotyk z biblioteką LVGL
🔊 Dźwięk i podczerwień
🌐 WiFi / Internet

Kolejny etap: monitoring baterii, silniczek wibracyjny oraz akcelerometr.

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.

Mailbag #164 und Review LilyGo T Echo Plus BME280 mit Meshtastic Firmware

#meshtastic #LilyGo #TDeck.

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.

Folks familiar with #meshtastic and #lilygo t3s3 node -- anyone know if the board can charge a battery via usb, when the battery is connected to the board's battery connector? I couldn't find much documentation from the manufacturer..
