“I purchased a pair of these together with "LoRa Antenna with Pigtail - 868MHz Black", "LoRa Antenna with Pigtail - 868MHz Black" and "SMA to uFL/u.FL/IPX/IPEX RF Adapter Cable". They work, with Meshtastic, out of the box with the provided antennas. The provided WiFi antenna works well for my use indoors, but the LoRa was replaced with the additional ones. There wasn't much Meshtastic activity near me, so I reflashed with MeshCore and both device and antennas all work well.”
“First time Meshtastic user. Great service from the PI Hut team, who helped me with a hardware problem, quickly resolved, perfect. Now texting with a friend miles away, with no Internet or mobile network, result!”
“Got 4 of these got 2 wired up to my pi zero2w. One running as meshcore repeater and another as mashtastic repeater and using the pi to provide power and run a montoring server so i can reboot remotely ect from my pc ect. Just need to attach to my shed and connect to my solar set up. The other 2 will be portable nodes once iv 3d printed the cases.”
“Really impressed with the kit, seems to be the cheapest way to get into meshtastic and arrived in 24 hours compared to waiting for a direct from china seller. Came with older firmware which was to be expected but nice to be able to quickly test and updating via webUSB was easy.
Stacked design meant the LoRa module would occasionally lift out of its socket but noticed there's an adhesive pad to fix it in place, and there're 3d printed cases which bolt together too. Would be nice to have an option with external antennas instead of the adhesive ones but they're not that expensive to buy separately.
Only complaints are the bootloader button is difficult to press when plugging in the cable but seems unavoidable on a board this small, and would have been better for me for the headers not be presoldered but not too hard to remove them so more personal preference.”
“Absolutely brilliant little kit, just power on and ready to pair with your phone. It definitely benefits from a battery add-on when using it as a portable node”
“Rich
