Meshtastic 2.5.19 Fancy UI for T-Deck

[cfultz]

Following the Alternate Route building instructions, I have the Fancy UI built for the T-Deck on firmware 2.5.19. If you want to do the same, there are a few changes you need to make in order to get it to currently build (there is a bug in the ViewController.cpp file that stops it from compiling).

Start by pulling the correct branch in GitPod (you will need to authenticate with Github):

Code:

git switch tft-gui-work
git submodule update --init

Make the following changes to ViewController.cpp:
Find:

Code:

bytes[232], bytes[233], bytes[234], bytes[235], bytes[236]}},

Replace with:

Code:

bytes[232]}},

Then run the following to build:

Code:

pio run -e t-deck-tft

This will output the firmware.bin file to .pio/build/t-deck. Once there, you can use the Official WebFlasher to flash the file to your T-Deck! I have attached the latest build from 2.5.19 below just in case you don't want to run through all those steps.

Enjoy!

Hello SVmesh, just a user of meshtastic firmware on several device types. Will try running your .bin file for the fancy UI on my T deck plus.
I have the older version running on the original Tdeck that I added GPS to it. But was not able to get it running on the Plus, and they took down the Github file I originally used. I did try the self-build method from TechAirSpace channel. That did not work, probably my mistake somewhere, as I am not a programmer. I am not in your area of the USA, being from Dallas area. But I have setup several different nodes locally and have 2 WisMesh Pockets when out in the wild. Neat little comms system for off grid use. Thanks for letting me join your group and read from your resources.
