This project aims to produce a fully assembled Meshtastic node based on the ESP32-S3 and RA-01SH, both of which are avaliable for assembly by JLCPCB. The only components to be bought outside are the antenna and LiPo battery. The PCB will include battery charging and SMA connector.
Meshtastic® is a project that enables you to use inexpensive LoRa radios as a long range off-grid communication platform in areas without existing or reliable communications infrastructure. This project is 100% community driven and open source!
Meshtastic utilizes LoRa, a long-range radio protocol, which is widely accessible in most regions without the need for additional licenses or certifications, unlike HAM radio operations.
These radios are designed to rebroadcast messages they receive, forming a mesh network. This setup ensures that every group member, including those at the furthest distance, can receive messages.
Additionally, Meshtastic radios can be paired with a single phone, allowing friends
