## Supported Devices
2023-12-07 22:24:53 -08:00
Meshtastic firmware can be installed on a wide range of development boards. The list below provides a brief comparison of currently supported hardware.
### Which board should I choose?
While all the boards listed on this page will run Meshtastic and mesh with each other, some current community favorites are:
- RAK Meshtastic Start Kit
- Station G1
- LILYGO LoRa T3-S3
- HELTEC LoRa V3
Please do your research and choose the board that meets your needs (or maybe already have in a bin somewhere).

- The Semtech SX1262 transceiver is newer than the SX1276 and provides increased receive and transmit performance.
2023-12-03 15:24:45 -08:00
- nRF52-based devices use a fraction of the power compared to ESP32-based devices and are therefore generally preferred for solar and handset applications.
2023-12-05 22:47:04 -08:00
- ESP32-based devices require more power to operate but are typically lower-cost alternatives that do perform well when using house power, or for handsets that only require a day or two of runtime, and for applications that require WiFi connectivity.
