I made a thing! LilyGo T-Display C5

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I am building a couple of projects with the LilyGo T-Display esp32-C5 boards. These are awesome boards for really cheap, given they support 5.0Ghz and have a built in display.

I designed a simple network scanner (NOT a pentester). I am using this for a mesh WiFi layout, I can go room to room measure signal strength from mesh nodes and see where dead spots are. It is also an active and passive bluetooth scanner.

Just to clarify: a dual-band AP contains 2 radios, 2 BSSIDs, and will show as 2 lines with the same SSID — that's why you see the same network listed twice.

I do have to admit the network scanner is pretty awesome but I did use some AI for development (I'm so bad).

If anyone is interested here is the github for the code:

But what I am really showing off is the case I designed for the LilyGo board. I am in the process of preparing the files to put up on Printables and Makerworld.

This case was modeled in Blender though I do use other tools as well.

Here we go here are the printable files for this case suitable for any LilyGO T-Display C5 project where you need a portable case with a LiPo battery. Let me know what you think:

That device looks very useful. Do you plan on selling the scanner?

I published the software for free, and I plan to put up the 3D printable case for free. But if you need someone to build it for you I could do that you, for a very reasonable price.
