Description

Overview
Mesh Node is a development board based on nRF52840 and SX1262, supports LoRa communication and Bluetooth 5.0, and provides a variety of power interfaces (5V USB, lithium battery and solar panel), optional 1.14 inch TFT display and GPS module as accessories. Mesh Node has powerful long-distance communication capabilities, scalability, and low power design, which make it excellent in a wide range of application scenarios such as smart cities, agricultural monitoring, logistics tracking, etc. With Heltec nRF52 development environment and libraries , you can use it for LoRa/LoRaWAN development work, as well as to run some open source projects, such as Meshtastic.

Product Features 

  • MCU nRF52840 (Bluetooth), LoRa chipset SX1262.
  • Low power consumption, 11 uA in deep sleep.
  • Powerful display function (optional), onboard 1.14 inch TFT-LCD display contains 135(H)RGB x240(V) dots and can display up to 262k colors.
