Elecrow MeshStick

The MeshStick is a USBUSB (Universal Serial Bus). The wired connection used to power a device, flash firmware onto it, and communicate with it over serial. LoRaLoRaA low-power, long-range wireless communication technology used by Meshtastic devices to enable communication over distances of several kilometers without the need for cellular, Wi-Fi, or other traditional network infrastructures. radio rather than a standalone node. It supplies the SX1262SX1262A Semtech sub-GHz LoRa transceiver, used in most current Meshtastic hardware and recommended over the older SX127x series. transceiver, and a Linux host running meshtasticd supplies the processor, storage, and network. Plug it into a Raspberry Pi, a server, or a laptop.

Specifications​

  • LoRaLoRaA low-power, long-range wireless communication technology used by Meshtastic devices to enable communication over distances of several kilometers without the need for cellular, Wi-Fi, or other traditional network infrastructures. Transceiver
    • Semtech SX1262SX1262A Semtech sub-GHz LoRa transceiver, used in most current Meshtastic hardware and recommended over the older SX127x series. (TCXO), up to 22 dBm
  • Host Interface
    • CH341 USBUSB (Universal Serial Bus). The wired connection used to power a device, flash firmware onto it, and communicate with it over serial.-to-SPISPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). A bus used between the microcontroller and peripherals such as the LoRa radio and the display. bridge
    • USBUSB (Universal Serial Bus). The wired connection used to power a device, flash firmware onto it, and communicate with it over serial. 2.0 Type-A
  • Connectors
    • SMASMAA threaded coaxial connector for attaching an external antenna. RP-SMA is the reverse-polarity variant, which is not interchangeable with it. antenna connector

Features​

  • Identifies itself over USBUSB (Universal Serial Bus). The wired connection used to power a device, flash firmware onto it, and communicate with it over serial., so meshtasticd configures the radio without manual setup.
  • Runs from the host's USBUSB (Universal Serial Bus). The wired connection used to power a device, flash firmware onto it, and communicate with it over serial. power, with no battery to manage.
  • Open hardware: the schematic and gerbers are published.
