Supported Devices
Meshtastic firmware can be installed on a wide range of development boards. The list below provides a brief comparison of currently supported hardware.
Which board should I choose?
While all the boards listed on this page will run Meshtastic and mesh with each other, some current community favorites are:
- RAK Meshtastic Start Kit: RAK19007+RAK4631
- HELTEC LoRa V3
- Nano G2 Ultra
- Station G2
- LILYGO LoRa T3-S3
Please do your research and choose the board that meets your needs (or maybe already have in a bin somewhere).
- Devices using the previous-generation Semtech SX1276 are no longer recommended due to their inferior performance.
- nRF52-based devices use a fraction of the power compared to ESP32-based devices and are therefore generally preferred for solar and handset applications.
- ESP32-based devices require more power to operate but are typically lower-cost alternatives that do perform well when using house power, or for handsets that only require a day or two of runtime, and for applications that require WiFi connectivity.
