Elecrow Meshstick USB-To-SPI SX1262 TCXO LoRa USB Stick

Meshstick is an open-source LoRa mesh USB adapter built on the CH341 + SX1262 chipset. It has a standard USB plug-in design, a semi-transparent black case, and an SMA external antenna connector. It runs off USB bus power, so no separate power supply is needed.

Plug Meshstick into any Linux, macOS, or Windows device, including a Raspberry Pi, industrial host, software router, OpenWRT router, Steam Deck, or an x86 desktop, and the meshtasticd daemon turns that device into a full Meshtastic network node. A web management UI lets you configure the node, send and receive messages, and monitor the network without extra hardware.

Meshstick turns any Linux, macOS, or Windows device into a LoRa repeater node or area-coverage gateway on a Meshtastic network at low cost and in a small footprint, lowering the barrier to deploying Meshtastic networks. It's built for makers, radio enthusiasts, emergency communications, and IoT developers.

Note: The antennas currently shipping are round. The flat antenna style is part of an ongoing design upgrade. Both antenna styles are compatible with the same product SKU and do not affect the product's functionality.
