M5Stack Unit C6L

M5Stack Unit C6L

The M5Stack Unit C6L is a compact, enclosed LoRaLoRaA low-power, long-range wireless communication technology used by Meshtastic devices to enable communication over distances of several kilometers without the need for cellular, Wi-Fi, or other traditional network infrastructures. communication unit built on the ESP32ESP32A chipset of microcontroller made/designed by Espressif, used by a number of devices. Higher power usage than nRF52, but often cheaper and supports Wi-Fi if desired.-C6 and SX1262SX1262A Semtech sub-GHz LoRa transceiver, used in most current Meshtastic hardware and recommended over the older SX127x series.. With an onboard OLEDOLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode). A display type used on many Meshtastic devices. The OLED Type setting selects which panel driver the firmware uses., buzzer, RGB LEDLED (Light-Emitting Diode). An indicator light on a device. The External Notification module can drive one in response to mesh activity., and button, it is a ready-to-use Meshtastic node.

Specifications​
