We currently support devices that use the ESP32 and the nRF52 microcontrollers. Both of these offer low power consumption and long battery life, but each come with their own advantages:
|
||||
|
||||
## ESP32
|
||||
|
||||
The following ESP32 devices are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Lilygo TTGO T-Beam](/docs/hardware/supported/tbeam) - 1.1 (including M8N GPS and SX1262 LoRa variants)
|
||||
- [Lilygo TTGO Lora](/docs/hardware/supported/lora) - versions 1, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1-1.6
|
||||
- [Heltec LoRa 32 (V2)](/docs/hardware/supported/heltec)
|
||||
|
||||
:::caution
|
||||
Supported but not encouraged:
|
||||
|
||||
- Lilygo TTGO T-Beam - version 0.7 -- Very old, no power management chip, difficulty with GPS module and is frequently confused with other devices.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
Advantages:
|
||||
- Strong hardware/software support, as these devices have been on the market for a longer period of time
|
||||
- Wi-Fi capable, with full [web interface](/docs/software/web) support
|
||||
- Numerous 3D printed case designs are available
|
||||
- Range Test module is supported
|
||||
|
||||
Disadvantages:
|
||||
- Devices do not use Bluetooth 5.0 (BLE), as such may may draw more power
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## nRF52
|
||||
|
||||
The following nRF52 devices are currently supported:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Wisblock RAK4631](/docs/hardware/supported/wisBlock) (Modular system, requires wisBlock Base)
|
||||
- [Lilygo TTGO T-Echo](/docs/hardware/supported/techo)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Advantages:
|
||||
- Smaller, more compact designs are available
|
||||
- Draws 90-95% less power compared to ESP32
|
||||
- Very low Bluetooth power usage due to Bluetooth 5.0 (BLE)
|
||||
- Strong manufacturer documentation for RAK Wireless products
|
||||
|
||||
Disadvantages:
|
||||
- No Wi-Fi without additional hardware, the Web interface can only be used via the Serial connection option.
|
||||
- Newer hardware, as such less software-side support.
|
||||
- Currently, cannot be used with the Range Test module.
|
||||
- Fewer 3D printed case options.
