The SuperBase is a $75 standalone Meshtastic device from muzi works, combining a Base Uno and Super IO board inside a 3D-printed translucent PETG case. It offers built-in GPS (dual GPS/BDS), a digital compass, a large square OLED screen, and a 1500mAh battery that lasts up to 2 days with GPS enabled. Available pre-assembled or as a DIY kit requiring soldering.
- Powered by the nRF52840 SoC and SX1262 radio, supporting both 868MHz and 915MHz via a universal stubby antenna
- Weighs 80.3g (2.8oz) with antenna; dimensions roughly 48 x 80 x 19mm
- Features a 2-mode power switch, tone buzzer for notifications, fast USB-C charging up to 1A, and onboard RTC
- Customer reviews (4.55/5 from 11 reviews) praise portability and ease of use but note the translucent case chips easily and the display shows horizontal line shadowing at max brightness
The ITU‑R Recommendation P.833‑2 provides guidance on estimating radio‑wave attenuation caused by vegetation for frequencies between 30 MHz and 60 GHz. Because foliage conditions vary widely and experimental data are limited, the recommendation offers separate models for different frequency bands and path geometries. For a terrestrial link with one end inside a woodland, the extra loss is expressed using two parameters: the specific attenuation rate γ (dB / m) that describes short‑range scattering loss, and a maximum attenuation Am that caps the total excess loss due to additional mechanisms such as surface‑wave propagation and forward scattering. The excess attenuation for a path length d inside the vegetation is given by Aev = Am 1 – exp(–d γ / Am) » . This formulation allows engineers to calculate the additional loss when a transmitter or receiver is located within dense vegetation.
Information about Meshtastic, an open-source, decentralized, off-grid mesh network, and the MDARC's involvement with it, including node locations and configurations.
Frozen intends to be a radio BBS optimized for slow connections. This is the very beginning of the project. It has a working message board, admin tools, a terminal client, and a server supporting serial and TCP connections to Meshtastic radios.
Meshtastic is an open-source mesh networking platform designed to facilitate decentralized, long-range, and ad-hoc communication. This article provides a full guide on how to get started, covering its features, use cases, compatible hardware, and setup instructions.
It is a high-performance tracker designed for Meshtastic, as small as a credit card, effortlessly fitting in your pocket or attaching to your assets. It embeds Semtech's LR1110 (Supports 863-928 MHz range), Nordic's nRF52840, and Mediatek's AG3335 GPS module, providing Meshtastic users with a high-precision, low-power positioning and communication solution.
OpenEmbed is creating the MeshWalkie, a Meshtastic-ready LoRa handheld using the housing of a Baofeng UV-K6 radio. It features an Espressif ESP32-S3, a Seeed Studio Wio-SX1262 LoRa transceiver, and a Seeed L76K GNSS receiver, all on a custom PCB. The project aims to provide a rugged, open-source alternative to 3D-printed or expensive injection-molded handhelds.
Meshnology offers a range of IoT and Meshtastic related products including ESP32 LoRa modules, batteries, antennas, development boards, sensors, and cases.
Meshtastic is an open-source project that provides long-range, off-grid communication using inexpensive LoRa radios. It allows users to send text messages, GPS locations, and voice messages over long distances without relying on internet or mobile networks.
