  2. TTGO vs. LILYGO: what is the difference? Developers often ask us the difference between TTGO and LILYGO. When dealing with various T-Beam and T-Echo products, some pictures will show the former, while others show the latter. Many of the product titles include both words. What do they mean? The company/manufacturer name is LILYGO, however it used to be called TTGO. So this is why there is still some occasional photos that reference TTGO, and why both company names are still used in product titles.
  3. LILYGO® TTGO Meshtastic T-Echo now available in colors New for July we have black and grey color options for the LILYGO T-Echo H505 SKU, and black and brown for the T-Echo H511 SKU with BME280 Humidity and Pressure Sensor. Note the SKUs do change when you select a color option on our page, but the color you select does not change the specs of the product. So for example, the H505 will become K147 for black or K148 for gray, but it is the same product as H505, just different color.
