thinknode_m1

ThinkNode Series​

Portable and durable devices purpose-built for Meshtastic with outdoor use in mind.

NameMCUMCU (Microcontroller Unit). The microcontroller that runs the firmware on a device. The hardware tables list the MCU for each supported board.RadioWi-FiBTGPSGPS (Global Positioning System). A satellite positioning system. A node with a GPS module determines its own location and can report that position to the mesh.
ThinkNode M1nRF52840nRF52840A Nordic microcontroller from the nRF52 family, used in devices such as the RAK WisBlock core modules. Provides Bluetooth LE 5.0 and very low power consumption.SX1262SX1262A Semtech sub-GHz LoRa transceiver, used in most current Meshtastic hardware and recommended over the older SX127x series.NO5.0YES
ThinkNode M2ESP32ESP32A chipset of microcontroller made/designed by Espressif, used by a number of devices.
