rating No review at the moment

The Elecrow LoRa Meshstick USB drive is a Plug & Play adapter designed to instantly transform any single-board computer, router, or PC into a fully functional Meshtastic network node or gateway. Based on the Semtech SX1262 chipset with a TCXO oscillator and the CH341A USB-SPI bridge, it provides reliable and stable long-range LoRa communications on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

  • Direct USB-to-SPI converter via CH341A bridge
  • Semtech SX1262 transceiver with integrated TCXO (+22 dBm max)
  • Natively compatible with the official meshtasticd daemon and Web UI
  • Powered directly via the USB bus (no external power supply required)
  • Compact translucent black enclosure with standard SMA antenna connector
  • Integrated I²C EEPROM (24C02) with unique, traceable serial ID
  • Fully open-source hardware architecture

Includes: 1x Meshstick LoRa SX1262 USB adapter, 1x 868 MHz external SMA antenna, 1x quick start guide.

Data sheet

Summary

The Elecrow Meshstick is the most cost-effective and compact solution for deploying a Meshtastic relay or fixed gateway. Designed for ham radio operators, emergency communications (EmComm) enthusiasts, makers, and IoT developers, this USB dongle adds 868 MHz LoRa capabilities to a Raspberry Pi, a Linux server, a mini-PC, or an OpenWRT router in just a few seconds without complex wiring.

Key Features

  • Seamless software integration: Works with the native meshtasticd daemon, enabling full remote management via the web UI without an external MCU.
  • High-precision TCXO oscillator: Ensures excellent frequency stability during LoRa transmissions, preventing thermal drift caused by temperature fluctuations.
  • Plug-and-play: Powered directly via the USB 2.0 bus with a standard SMA connector to connect the included antenna or an external high-gain antenna.
  • Unique hardware identifier: Includes a 24C02 EEPROM preprogrammed with a unique serial number for tamper-proof network identification.
  • Open-Source Design: Open schematics and code facilitate custom development, feature extensions, and active community support.

  • Supported processor architectures: x86-64, ARM64 (aarch64), ARMhf (ARMv7).
  • Host hardware: Raspberry Pi (all USB models), x86 mini PCs, OpenWRT routers, industrial servers, Steam Deck.
  • Software and protocols: meshtasticd daemon, Meshtastic LoRa Mesh network stack, raw LoRa packet communications.
  • Antennas: Any LoRa / ISM 868 MHz antennas equipped with a male SMA connector.

FAQ

How does the Meshstick work compared to a standard Meshtastic module (such as the ESP32 or nRF52)?

Unlike standalone boards that run Meshtastic on an embedded microcontroller, the Meshstick delegates software processing to the processor of your host computer (PC, Raspberry Pi) via the meshtasticd daemon. The dongle handles only LoRa radio communication via the CH341A USB-SPI bridge and the SX1262 chip.

Do I need to connect the antenna before inserting the USB dongle?

Yes, it is essential to securely screw on the included SMA antenna (or a suitable external antenna) before connecting the Meshstick to the USB port. Transmitting without an RF load can irreparably damage the amplifier stage of the SX1262 module.

Can the Meshstick be used to set up a Meshtastic MQTT gateway?

Absolutely. By combining the Meshstick with a Raspberry Pi or a router connected to the Internet, the meshtasticd daemon easily acts as a gateway between the local LoRa mesh network and the Meshtastic MQTT servers.

Is an external power supply required?

No, the Meshstick draws all of its power from the host device’s USB port, greatly simplifying both permanent and temporary installations.

How do I access the node’s control interface?

Once the meshtasticd daemon is running on your host system, the built-in web UI becomes accessible via your local web browser (or via the Meshtastic app connected to the host machine’s IP address).
