What is the best meshtastic rig to buy and where do I buy it? #AskNostr
Discussion
Depends on how you want to use it; but I think a good start is the RAK WisBlock...
I have a little interest in mesh possibilities too, I heard recently about LolRa pushing some super cheap microchip to the limit but I don't know enough about the space to see how this competes/compares with meshtastic. Article writer made it seem like a big deal though https://youtu.be/eIdHBDSQHyw?si=93K9ZLA1-OD-DEd0
Simple, cheap, easy to setup
Heltec V3 board
~$25
Amazon
This is the one I went with.

I don't think there is a 'best' but I bought a lillygo t-beam on Amazon and I'm very happy with it
#tabconf ordered them from https://muzi.works
What are you looking to do?
Fiddle around with a prototyping board that you can add sensors to?
Send/receive on an established mesh with an all in one handheld unit? Or use phone for interface?
Increase your local mesh with a solar-powered base and a big antenna?
The Meshtastic website has a lot of info:
