T-Beam SUPREME Meshtastic LoRa Radio Build Guide | PARTS | ASSEMBLY |FIRMWARE

This is a complete beginner's Meshtastic build guide for assembling a Lilygo T-Beam Supreme LoRa radio. The Supreme is the most feature-rich T-Beam model currently available. With this radio, you can connect your phone via Bluetooth to the free Meshtastic app and communicate on your own off-grid, encrypted text channel. You can transmit GPS and other data too!

🎇Buy a T-Beam Supreme: https://geni.us/TBeamSupreme
(MAKE SURE you select the correct frequency 915Mhz in the US. Also, you might notice two versions (SoftRF/Meshtastic), it doesn't matter which one you get because the only difference is the default firmware, and we'll be flashing new firmware anyways so it doesn't matter.)

🎇Buy an 18650 Battery: https://www.18650batterystore.com/
(MAKE SURE it's a flat top battery)
