Haruki’s Meshtastic Experiments

Welcome to my personal Meshtastic experiments. Here, I share my own measurements, values, and various comparisons to help others interested in Meshtastic. Feel free to explore the different sections through the navigation links below.

Battery Runtime Tests I conducted various tests with different devices and batteries to determine the actual runtime. This helps in better planning how long a node will remain powered on when using a battery.
LoRa Boards Power Measurements I personally tested and measured the power consumption of each node I own to provide real values based on the tested firmware.
Antennas Tested This is a list of all antennas tested and recommended
ADC Calculator The ADC Calculator on the Meshtastic website is often inaccurate as it calculates based on percentage. This calculator, however, uses the voltage measured by the node for more precise results.
LoRa Boards Comparison Table This extensive table compares all development boards with built-in LoRa, allowing you to see and plan out the features available for better planning.
Recomended Etsy/Tindie Nodes This is a list of all nodes I could find on both marketplaces that meat a decent runtime, quality and functionality standard to best enjoy Meshtastic
Compatible Peripherals This is a list of all additional hardware currently supported by Meshtastic.
