ThinkNode M1 Meshtastic™ radio

Good beginner companion for Meshtastic, maybe not so much for Meshcore.

Meshcore support is lacking. It’s definitely good as a beginner companion BLE radio if you need one that doesn’t break the bank, but if you’re already deep in the mesh sauce like me—it’s pretty bland to be quite honest. I’m running a community software named “Zephyrcore” on it due to the default Meshcore firmware not even having one of the buttons on the side of the device mapped for a function, which has left me dumbfounded onto why that is. For meshtastic it works pretty good. It has better firmware on it than Meshcore. I like the E-Ink display for indoors usage, it saves a lot of battery life when in a pinch especially with a battery as small as the one in this one. However, I very much dislike how the antenna mount is male…the majority of 915mhz antennas on the market need a female mount, imo that’s the number 1 issue with this device.

Works Great Right Out Of The Box!

This is just what I was looking for, a plug and play solution that does not require assembly and programming. Highly recommended for those that just want something ready to use. Thanks!

Great little transceiver! Impressive battery life.

Great little transceiver! Impressive battery life, crisp clear screen in all light. Bluetooth connection distance is excellent. I do wish it was NOT RP-SMA as most portable antennas are not. The GPS isn't all that sensitive or fast, but it's tiny. Having a whole knob just for backlight brightness seems more like a prop than something useful. 3 brightness settings would suffice, and make a lighter unit. All in all, not much to complain about. Has good reach, stays connected, and sips power. Lightweight and super compact.
