Supported Hardware
| Hardware | Confirmed working | Expected to work | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| LoRa radios (working with Meshtasticd) | *Waveshare RPi hat is not recommended as it has issues with sending longer messages. | ||
| MicroSD cards | Any reasonably fast (UHS-I or better) card with 8gb or more | Stick with reputable manufacturers (Kingston, PNY Samsung, Sandisk, Transcend...) The faster the better! Consider sticking with "endurance" cards, especially for remotely deployed nodes. |
|
| RTC (real time clock) | DS1337, DS1338, DS1340, other DS3231 variants | Some DS3231 modules are listed as having a supercapacitor - these are usually actually lithium coin cells. | |
| Meshtastic nodes | USB+UART: RAK4631 with RAK19007 or RAK19003 base board | RAK4630 and 4631 are the same. | |
| USB wifi adapter chipsets | See below | ||
| Misc. hardware | If power draw exceeds supply, the device will reboot, bootloop or hard crash. Unpowered USB hubs seem to be notorious for causing reboots. Some users have reported that USB-C flash drives do not work. This requires more study. |
Wifi chipsets
The following wifi chipsets/devices have their drivers included in the OS images. Most of these have not been tested. Note that power consumption metrics are for a specific version of a chipset and may not apply to all implementations.
