“Works pretty decently for Meshtastic / Meshcore, Very small in size. I'd prefer it without the pins pre-soldered to the ESP module as that'd make it even smaller.
The only downside was compared to another module I found the auto reset capability slightly buggy making it trickier to reprogram just over USB without having to press the program button on the module itself.”
“Big fan of this - for around a tenner I've been able to to get myself experimenting with meshtastic. Set up took 5 mins (follow the video on the pages linked in the description). The antenna included is fine for experimentation but I'd strongly recommend a better one quite quickly.”
“Really great device, super tiny. Tried soldering a battery to the board after not soldering for 28 years and fried it. Luckily they are super cheap too! :)”
“Great service as always from PiHut. I am using these with Meshtastic and experimenting with Reticulum and both just work without fuss. No issues uploading firmware and communicating with different nodes.”
“Excellent radio & MCU combination which works well once set up. However, the tiny form factor is very difficult to work with.
The tiny buttons are hard to see, never mind keep pressed while trying to plug in a cable (required to re-flash the board).
Soldering to such closely-spaced pads and pins is extremely difficult, especially if you are inexperienced or not as young as you used to be!
Attaching the antennas required a lot of force, pliers, a third hand and a lot of care.”
