Discover the best Meshtastic devices tailored to your needs! From solar-powered options like the RAK WisBlock to budget-friendly choices like the Heltec LoRa 32 V3, this guide covers various use cases. Whether you prioritize portability, ease of use, or advanced features.
As someone that’s used a pile of Heltec Lora V3: they’re fragile pieces of shit. I’ve kept buying them as they’ve kept failing and I think I’ve about a dozen in order to keep 2 devices alive, and those two are only a few weeks old. I’ve had a brand new just stop working as I’ve programmed it for the first time, and I handle these things with an ESD strap on because I think they’re just really poorly protected.
I’m porting my project (a solar pump with radio linked trough float) to eByte e32s and a standard ESP32 because I’m tired of having these things crater if I look at them sideways.
Never even heard of these before today. This seems so interesting and would be really nice if you live in a really rural area.

How does this differ from walkie talkies?
