About this video
Installing MCLite on the LilyGo T-Deck Plus, the MeshCore firmware that finally makes this device worth using. Off-grid text messaging over LoRa, no internet, no cell towers, no monthly fee.
I reviewed the T-Deck Plus last year and I was both kind and rough on it. Specifically, the touchscreen, which I didn't realize was a touchscreen because It was slow, laggy, and frustrating to actually use. MCLite fixes that. This is the full install walkthrough: web flasher, config file, SD card, first messages.
