$380 or $410 with an SD card... Yeah, not the device for someone like me who wants to try LoRa out...

If you just want to try it out get yourself a heltec v3 off aliexpress. I bought 2 to test it out.

[–] Bubs@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. I'm looking at getting a few of those and maybe even a t-deck in the future if I get really into it.

Okay but why

[–] ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why not?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well primarily because this is the wrong tool for the job. Compared to something like a LilyGo T-Deck, this thing is way bigger and way less efficient. Lasts a few hours vs. several days. But also because this guy charges a fat premium to put it in a 3D-printed case.

What job?

[–] tomiant@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ok that is legitimately cool AF!
