Work in progress
This is a custom firmware being developed for the LilyGo T-Deck, currently it is experimental & buggy.
I am terrible at C++ and still am trying to wrap my head around the language's logic, so most of this code has been shit out and written like a cowboy.
The project started out with as IRC bridge for Meshtastic over MQTT, just so I could say "we have IRC over radio", which later led to me modifying the official Meshtastic firmware to add extended features. I am deep in the rabbit whole of embedded development and am starting from scratch making this an entirely custom firmware.
This is being developed in my free time as a fun project. It is no where near being useful.
