Mesh Hardware

Device guidance for MeshCore and Meshtastic hardware, including handhelds, dev boards, and gateways.

Handheld Devices (Enclosed units with built-in battery)

These portable Meshtastic/MeshCore nodes come with integrated power and (often) displays, ready for field use. They are officially supported for flashing via the web UI of both MeshCore and Meshtastic unless noted. For example, devices like the LILYGO T-Echo, Seeed T1000-E, and RAK WisMesh Pocket are listed in the web flashers as supported targets[1][2].

Notes: (1) MeshCore support for this device is not yet official - it may require community firmware or manual flashing.

Fixed Nodes & Dev Boards

These are development boards or fixed-installation nodes often used as repeaters or integrated into projects. They typically lack a built case (though some support battery attachments) and are flashable via the web tools. The Meshtastic hardware docs enumerate many of these boards[27][28]. MeshCore supports a wide range as well (Heltec, RAK, LilyGO, etc.)[29][30], though a few are Meshtastic-only.

Notes: (1) MeshCore support is community-based or experimental for this device. (2) GPS can be added via an external module (not built-in). (3) Newly supported in Meshtastic; support may be experimental or require latest firmware.

Gateways and High-Power Nodes

These devices serve as gateways (bridging the mesh to internet services) or high-power base stations. They may require special firmware. Meshtastic’s web flasher supports these where applicable (e.g. RAK Ethernet/WiFi gateways)[64], whereas MeshCore (focused on off-grid use) does not currently implement internet-bridge firmware.

Device Name	Chipset (MCU+LoRa)	GPS	Form Factor	MeshCore	Meshtastic
RAK WisMesh Ethernet Gateway	nRF52840 + SX1262[64]	◐ Optional²[64]	Gateway (Ethernet, nRF52)	❌ No	✅ Yes[64]
RAK WisMesh WiFi Gateway	ESP32 + SX1262[65]	◐ Optional²[65]	Gateway (Wi-Fi, ESP32)	❌ No	✅ Yes[64]
B&Q/UnitEng Station G2	ESP32-S3 + SX1262[66]	◐ Optional²[66]	High-Power Base (HAM)	✅ Yes[67][68]	✅ Yes[68]

Notes: (2) GPS optional - an external receiver can be connected if needed (not built-in).

All listed devices can be flashed with the appropriate MeshCore or Meshtastic firmware using their respective web-based flasher tools as of the latest updates[9][69]. Devices marked with ❌ under a platform indicate no official support in that flasher’s device list.
