Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 & Wio-SX1262 Kit with 3D case for Meshtastic & LoRa is a compact and versatile LoRaWAN® gateway and communication kit. Built on the XIAO ESP32S3 microcontroller and Wio-SX1262 LoRa® module, it supports an 868–915MHz wide frequency range with a 2dBi gain external antenna. This enables single-channel LoRaWAN gateway operation (2–5km) and Meshtastic communication. Through the GPIO port, it can be expanded with GNSS modules and other hardware for enhanced IoT applications.
Note:
The SX1262 in the "XIAO nRF52840 & Wio-SX1262 Kit" is not compatible with the XIAO ESP32S3. Please ensure you are using the correct version.
The kit comes pre-flashed with LoRa single-channel gateway firmware, allowing quick setup via the SenseCraft app in just three steps. For Meshtastic users, please flash the firmware before use.
Features
