--- id: devices title: Devices sidebar_label: Devices sidebar_position: 1 --- ## Supported Devices 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). :::info - The Semtech SX1262 transceiver is newer than the SX1276 and provides increased receive and transmit performance. - nRF52-based devices use a fraction of the power compared to ESP32-based devices and are therefore generally preferred for solar and handset applications. - 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. ::: ### [RAK Wisblock](./rak/) Modular hardware system with Base, Core and Peripheral modules including the low-power and solar ready nRF52840-based Meshtastic Starter Kit (19007 & 4631).
