Newbie: Drivers for linux

[linox71]

Hello everyone, I purchased a 433 Mhz module model LILYGO T-LoRa V2.1-1.6 to experiment with Meshtastic. I connected said module to my pc and it was not being recognized; trying to figure out why, I found out that drivers are needed for the device to be recognized once connected. This is where my problem arises: I use Linux Debian 12 with LXDE and although I have searched , I am not managing to find a driver that will make the module work for me. Now I ask for help from you,much more experienced than me , could you kindly recommend me a driver that will work well ? Thank you so much for your help

Try talking to the module over USB-serial. You can install the meshtastic CLI (https://github.com/meshtastic/python) with pip (pip install meshtastic). Its default behavior without specifying a target device will in many cases figure out what /dev endpoint your device lands on.

Hoi @linox71 , what does it mean "I found out that drivers are needed for the device to be recognized", where did you find it?

Ideally linux should work OOTB. So no driver needed.

The other question is, as you mention you are a newbie, what were your actual expectations?

Cheers
