The first working bench version of my button-controlled Meshtastic handheld is up and running on a Heltec Vision Master T190.
The buttons now navigate the menus, and I can compose and send messages from the device. The screen shows the node world, inbox, channel, and signal info. I’m going for a colourful, pixel-art, NES-inspired look.
It’s still a bench prototype. I’m fixing some font spacing, text collisions, and emoji rendering before moving on to the finished enclosure.

Great concept, I didn’t know about this Heltek but thanks for the inspiration. Will work on my own adapted version of MUI for a communicator using this module.
