~~I'd be excited if anyone wants to take up the challenge of supporting this device, but I don't feel that InkHUD is particularly suitable. The device really deserves a more interactive UI, but that'd be no small task to implement, whatever the approach.~~

Edit: I had confused this variant with the T-Deck Pro. The non-touch version of the T5-4.7-S3 E-Paper probably is a reasonable target for InkHUD.

@todd-herbert T-Deck pro adds a keyboard to a similar device. Epaper Pro does have a touchscreen too. I have the V1.2 with GPS here, while @mverch67 does have the first iteration. Since there's more differences it's a challenge to make both of them work :-)

I have one of these units if you need me to test anything. I downloaded the files manually and was able to build it via Visual Studio. Seems like the radio portion itself it operational, but the screen never does draw; not a boot logo or anything. Attached bootup log if anything is useful or I failed to do something.

it's still draft. display support is missing. radio also does not work yet.

Bumping this - grabbed one - hoping for future support!

Please note: Apparently the meshcore team support this device - but there now appears to be a version with GPS and a version without.

They individually require different approaches to get running from what I understand.

I have the newer model with GPS - brand new - happy to send to the dev team as long as I eventually get it back... =)
