LILYGO® T-Deck Portable Microcontroller Programmer LoRa 915 MHz

Disappointed

The device works as it should, but I dislike that I have to make setting changes via Bluetooth. I also don’t like the fact that I have to go find map tiles to make maps work. Even then, they are very low resolution. The one I found only zooms to the State level. I also can’t see “favorites” on the device. Those show only in the settings when connected Bluetooth. The device is perfectly fine to use, it’s just more difficult to deal with than what I expected. I would not buy another AIO type node again.

Works as expected!

Not much else to say. Im new to lora mesh networking and everything was pretty straight forward. :]

It also works with Meshcore

Unfortunately my area of Northern Nevada sees very little Meshtastic activity. However, Meshcore sees very strong usage. I was able to reflash the radio for Meshcore without problems. In using it, the keyboard is small, but with practice does work well. The screen and the print is also very small, but I can still read it with my reading glasses. It didn't take long for me to figure out how to use the radio. Because I live in a low area, I didn't expect to do very well at home, BUT someone on higher ground must have a repeater that I'm hitting, because I can make contacts that are 30+ miles away. Truly a fun radio to have.
