# Femtofox <sub><sub>The tiny, low power Linux Meshtastic node
|
||||
#### The Luckfox Pico Mini is a compact and power efficient Linux capable board, capable of running Ubuntu. Femtofox is an expansion of the Luckfox's capabilities, combining a customized Ubuntu image with a custom PCB, integrating it with a LoRa radio to create a power efficient, cheap and small Meshtastic Linux node.

### Features
|
||||
* Tiny size (63x54mm for the Kitchen Sink Edition, 65x30mm for the Smol Edition). Roughly equivalent to a Raspberry Pi and Pi Zero.
|
||||
* Power efficiency (~0.35-0.4w average with a 30db radio and no wifi)
|
||||
* Full Linux CLI (Ubuntu) via our pre-built Foxbuntu image
|
||||
* Meshtastic native client support via SPI
|
||||
* USB host support
|
||||
* USB wifi support
|
||||
* RTC support for timekeeping
|
||||
* USB host support - attach USB peripherals (see [supported hardware](supported_hardware.md))
|
||||
* USB wifi support (see [supported hardware](supported_hardware.md))
|
||||
* RTC support for timekeeping (see [supported hardware](supported_hardware.md))
|
||||
|
||||
**Accomplished:**
|
||||
- [x] Meshtastic native client controlling a LoRa radio (see [supported hardware](supported_hardware.md))

- [x] Allow editing of config files by plugging in thumb drive
|
||||
- [x] Ability to activate or deactivate WIFI via Meshtastic admin

**Project goals:**
|
||||
* A solar-deployable Meshtastic node running Linux, without needing a giant solar panel / battery
|

* Wifi capabilities (with ability to disable/enable wifi via mesh for power savings)
|
||||
|
||||
The preconfigured images will reboot every 24 hours. If the internal clock is accurate, this will be at 3am. Reboot timing is set in `crontab`. To keep accurate time, an RTC module can be installed (see [supported hardware](supported_hardware.md)) or internet connectivity can be utilized for NTP via [Chrony](https://chrony-project.org/).
