MeshStick

The MeshStick is a CH341 USBUSB (Universal Serial Bus). The wired connection used to power a device, flash firmware onto it, and communicate with it over serial.-to-SPISPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). A bus used between the microcontroller and peripherals such as the LoRa radio and the display. 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. radio with a Semtech SX1262SX1262A Semtech sub-GHz LoRa transceiver, used in most current Meshtastic hardware and recommended over the older SX127x series. transceiver, sold assembled by Elecrow and also published as open hardware you can build yourself.
