Elecrow MeshStick USB-to-SPI SX1262 TCXO LoRa USB Adapter | Plug-and-Play Meshtastic & LoRa Mesh Node
The Elecrow MeshStick USB-to-SPI SX1262 TCXO LoRa USB Adapter is a compact, open-source solution for building Meshtastic and LoRa mesh networks with minimal hardware. Based on the CH341 + SX1262 chipset, it features a standard USB plug-in design, integrated TCXO, SMA external antenna interface, and USB bus power, so no separate power supply is required.
Simply connect the MeshStick to a Linux or macOS device such as a Raspberry Pi, OpenWRT router, Steam Deck, industrial computer, or x86 desktop, and use the meshtasticd daemon to turn it into a complete Meshtastic network node. With web-based management, users can remotely configure the node, send and receive messages, and monitor network activity.
Its small size and low-cost deployment make it a practical LoRa USB adapter, Meshtastic node, LoRa repeater, or coverage gateway for makers, radio enthusiasts, emergency communication projects, and IoT developers.
Features:
- USB Direct Plug and Play: No external power supply is required; powered by the USB bus, it is automatically detected and started when inserted into a Linux device.
- Multi-Device Support: Supports x86-64/arm64/armhf architectures and is compatible with popular platforms such as Raspberry Pi, industrial hosts, soft routers, OpenWRT routers, and the Steam Deck.
- Meshtastic Compatibility: Fully compatible with Meshtastic's official firmware, powered by the meshtasticd daemon and featuring a web-based management interface.
- Open Source Ecosystem: A fully open-source hardware design with a thriving ecosystem that encourages secondary development and feature enhancement.
- Long-Range LoRa Communication: Uses the Semtech SX1262 chip, an external SMA antenna interface, and supports EU868/US915 bands and external antennas.
- Onboard I²C EEPROM (24C02) is pre-programmed with a unique device serial number for identification purposes. Ensure that every node in the Mesh network has a distinct and traceable identity.
