Hi all

Yesterday I emailed TTGO/ Lily to see if in principle they could install the disaster radio boards they ship. After a bit of linguistic miscommunication they went ahead and did it.

So it's now possible to order the boards pre-flashed here:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000396836096.html

I didn't intend to do this without asking the list, so apologies if I've overstepped. 

If you really don't want to do this, then I can ask them to remove the listing. I realise that fully open hardware is needed in the medium term.

They are willing to donate a $1 for every board sold: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H856d5793d514415187b910e3fd4a3139w.jpg

Assuming you're happy to leave the listing up, where should we send this trickle of donations? Do you have a bank?

This does leave the task for the users to configure their SD card, is that as easy as formatting to ext2 and copying index.html to it? https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/tree/master/web/static or is it more involved than that?

Let me know what you want to do about the listing, and if it stays up, where to send the money.

Thanks

Sam
