Choose by the job your prototype must do: a T-Display model for an integrated screen, a T-Beam style board for projects that combine LoRa and positioning, or a T-Watch style device for wearable concepts. Confirm the exact processor, display, radio and connector requirements on the product page.

Choose the hardware variant intended for your location and intended network. Frequency support is determined by the board and firmware, so always verify the product specification and the local radio requirements before use.

A suitable USB data cable, the documented development environment and the correct board support package are the usual starting points. The official LILYGO GitHub repository and product documentation provide model-specific examples and installation guidance.
