Well, I guess it is time to sequester USB keyboard again (I have a raspberry Pi running Linux but have to steal my wife’s work computer keyboard).
I will try flashing a simple Arduino sketch again and then flashing it with meshtastic using device-install.sh from Linux terminal.
SOLVED:
Anyone that bought a board with SoftRF pre-installed;
- Remove battery, flash simple sketch using Arduino IDE, choosing partition scheme with larger spiffs, then reset board. I’m not sure what this accomplished but I’m thinking different partition scheme was flashed onto t-beam???
- Install Meshtastic using Linux terminal using device-install.sh, see meshtastic-device Git page.
Now you have a device that will support meshtastic-web installation
