915MHz LoRa 32 V3 ESP32 OLED Board + 915 MHz LoRa Antenna + LoRa Case Enclosure for Meshtastic LoRaWAN, not Compatible with Heltec LoRa32 V2

If the system allowed, I would have knocked off a fractional part of a star because the screen decal was crooked. At first, I thought it was the PC board, but no. It is just a decal on the case. Not a big deal except it makes the text look catywompus. Thankfully, the sticker glue is really goopy, so it peels off easily-ish. Be careful, and the sticker can be repositioned straight. Other than triggering my OCD, the unit works perfectly. 100% recommend the hardware.

Work, flashed well, should have bout a bigger antennae.

They com with a case, and a horrible but usable antenna. But with that and a usb port to plug it into on say, a computer or power bank, its enough to dive into LoRa and meshtastic! There are also a lot of better 3d printable cases online that are free to download. I do reccommend getting a dedicated battery and antenna at least as the basic upgrades. The esp32 board is more "power hungry", but with a decent battery and power bank it will run for a long time. Remember to disable wifi or bluetooth depending on what your are using to connect your phone or computer to the node for messaging and settings. This will help it use a lot less power and run a lot longer. For the price, these are probably impossible to beat! Have a good one, and hope to see you on the mesh!

I put this thing in my attic with an inexpensive 915MHz antenna from Amazon and this thing picks up all of Seattle. Not only that, it has picked up nodes fifty miles away over water. I am super impressed. I'm powering it externally, so I don't really know how long it lasts on a battery, but it works well on USB power. Small, basically plug and play after flashing, and SUPER inexpensive. This and the Wizblock are now my go-to Meshtastic radios!

works fine out of box, board is good quality, antenna is the same free crap they give with all lora boards case does the job only if powered bu usb no space for batteries

This is a great way to start playing with meshtastic on a budget.

You will have to go to Meshtastic.org and get the Flash software to program it initially.

The antenna does not have a connector to attach it to the board.

L'objet correspond bien à mes attentes. Je suis encore en train d'effectuer des tests de portées mais je suis déjà satisfaits.

Really nice kit. Made connection without any problems. Would buy it again if needed.

Pre-installed meshtastic does not work. Cannot connect by phone.

great little device to get into mesh-communication can flash Meshcore and Meshtastic,

Exactly what is needed for a starter to the meshtastic world.
