GM Nostr! Happy Saturday!
So gave up on the prototype "pretty" UI for the T-Deck and went bact to the stock #meshtastic firmware (at least for the time being).
The UI was amazing, but just not stable enough (biggest problem for me was if it was turned off (or reset--easy to do with the T-Deck) it couldn't send messages--well, they get sent and you get an ACK back, but messages never show up on the remote devices. The only way to solve this that I found is to receive a message on the T-Deck first--and once that message is received you can then send messages. I also couldn't connect to the T-Deck with the Meshtastic phone app - could only connect via a serial connection to Meshtastic web, and even that was buggy. (So really hard to change settings--espeically GPS which is not part of the prototype UI).
The stock firmware does not exhibit these behaviors, so I'll stick with that as it's simply more usable. Still love the T-Deck though--the keyboard makes it a true stanalone unit, which is what makes Meshtastic a compelling technology.
Time for coffee after writing such a long post...
