LILYGO T-Deck Plus Meshtastic Support Meshtastic UI


Description

  1. T-Deck-Plus has assigned the pins on the Grove interface to the GPS module, so the Grove interface of T-Deck-Plus cannot be used.

  2. T-Deck updated TFT_eSPI ST7789 initialization sequence on 20240726. Currently, the changes have not been pushed to the TFT_eSPI upstream branch. If you find that the screen display is incorrect during use, please check whether this is consistent with the initialization sequence in the warehouse.
