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.

Previews

Flashing the Firmware

1. Add your user to the dialout group: sudo gpasswd -a YOURUSERNAME dialout (You will need to re-login after adding your user to the dialout group for it to take affect)
2. Install Visual Studio Code
3. Install the PlatformIO plugin
4. Hold down the trackball on the device, turn it on, and plug it in to the computer.
5. Press F1 and select PlatformIO: Build
6. Press F1 and select PlatformIO: Upload

Note: Your device will likely be /dev/ttyAMC0 or /dev/ttyUSB0
