LILYGOT-Deck ESP32-S3 Meshtastic 915MHz LoRa BLE WiFi TTGO Module LoRaWAN Long Range Development Board with 2.8 inch LCD Display

Not sure why people return this, unless they didn't realize that there is no case included?I really REALLY love this board, it is well built and I did find a 3D printed case which is okay but this I think was more for the cool nerdy people like myself who enjoy tinkering with things. I flashed the device using the Meshtastic firmware with the cool UI. You need that UI if you want to have touch screen capabilities!!And you do not need to use Meshtastic on this device, I have seen people running old school versions of Window's 3.0 on here and using the track ball as a mouse, this thing is just super sweet to me. I paired it with an actual 8000mAh lithium battery and the life is days when using for the mesh. And if you plan on using this for the mesh network, it works great. Great quality and I love this thing! ❤️The best toy for me for this month!

Built out a proper T-Deck build with this, a battery, and a 3D printed case from Etsy. Meshtastic finally released the UI-based firmware, so it it now a complete standalone unit able to communicate on the mesh.

Works great with Meshcore. Firmware/client is somewhat different from smartphone app, still getting used to it. Nice, capable little PC.

Working great, lots of modifications and add on are possible. Make sure when you flash to turn switch to off position. Then hold trackball down while powering on. Screen will stay black and you are ready to install firmware, UI, maps, etc.

May work? No battery provided. Then the battery recommended does not fit the connector on the board. They did provide a connector but you need technical expertise to change connectors. Not so easy to perform as no change over connectors provided. They don’t make it easy.

Great! It works well and fits great into a 3d printed caseMy only issue is that when I connect a battery pack it does not work sadly, the board only works when USB-C is connected. Have tried to solder multiple battery packs to the board to no avail. Otherwise, solid device and will buy more.

I bought this when it first came out and it’s still going strong. 3-D print a case for it and haven’t had a single issue with it. I have a few other Lily products and I’m happy with all of them.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased two of these devices. One for me and one for my girlfriend. I added a GPS module and GPS antenna to both of them.I also purchased SMA antennas and cases for both of them.The T-Deck comes with the firmware choices:- LilyGo’s LoRa version-MeshtasticI chose the Meshtastic.It’s so much more convenient for me to use the T-Deck because of the built-in keyboard — I don’t have to carry my iPhone to use the Meshtastic application.The screen is bright and clear, in and out of the sun; and, the speaker is loud enough.I am pleased with the T-Deck.Check 6!/s/ Alfonso Faustino
