The Elecrow ThinkNode-M1 is a high-performance multi-function Meshtastic Transceiver integrating advanced wireless communication technology and multiple sensors. This LoRa device is expertly designed for outdoor adventures, environmental monitoring, and emergency communications. The Elecrow ThinkNode-M1 uses nRF52840 as its main processor and supports Bluetooth, allowing users to easily configure and monitor it via mobile phones. The M1 comes pre-installed with Meshtastic firmware. Combined with the powerful SX1262 wireless chip, this Transceiver can efficiently send and receive LoRa signals, providing users with reliable long-distance communication capabilities. The ThinkNode M1 is perfectly compatible with the official Meshtastic App, which enables users to configure device parameters, manage message communication, share maps and locations, and monitor network status.
A key feature is the built-in 1.54-inch EPD (Electronic Paper Display), which allows for real-time viewing of data and device status with minimal power consumption. In addition, the M1 has a built-in 1200mAh rechargeable battery with a life of more than 48 hours, meeting the needs of long-term outdoor use. The external LoRa antenna ensures a stable and powerful signal. The device adopts an integrated, durable shell design, making it compact and easy to carry. The built-in GPS module of the ThinkNode M1 provides accurate positioning, making it an essential independent communication tool for off-grid emergencies.
With its highly integrated design, the Elecrow ThinkNode-M1 combines advanced technologies like LoRa and GPS to ensure efficient data exchange. In remote areas without cellular coverage or in emergencies, the M1 serves as a reliable Meshtastic Transceiver for critical safety and communication.
