In this video I show you how to Factory Erase (Reset), Update the Firmware, and Test a LILYGO T-Echo device on windows. The goal of this video is for a default Meshtastic setup.
Quick Guide:
1. Attach the Antena
2. Plug the device into your computer
3. Install Python
4. Factory Erase (Reset) 1:16 - 7:50 (If you have Python Skip 4:18 -6:50)
4. Update the Firmware 7:50 - 9:25
5. Testing the device: 9:26 - End
IMPORTANT! (I labeled the top button wrong in the video)
Reset Button (Top Button):
* Single press: Resets the device. (A single tap on the top button DOES NOT turn the device on)
* Double press: Puts the device into bootloader mode which allows you to update the firmware.
Program/Power Button (Bottom Button):
* Single press: Changes the information page displayed on the device's screen.
* Double press: Turns the screen backlight on/off and sends an adhoc ping of the device's position to the network.
* Long press: Signals the device to shutdown after 5 seconds.
