📦 Unboxing & First Impressions
Opening the kit was a pleasant surprise—the board is remarkably compact! Everything comes in a no-frills plastic pouch, and inside you’ll find:
-
🧠 XIAO ESP32S3
-
📡 Wio-SX1262 LoRa extension board
-
📶 Wi-Fi antenna
-
📻 LoRa antenna
🛠️ Setup Notes & Tips
-
Antenna confusion is real: The skinny antenna is for LoRa, the wider one is for Wi-Fi. Take care when attaching them—U.FL connectors are tiny and fragile.
-
Board connection trick: At first glance, it looks like soldering is needed, but nope. The Wio-SX1262 snaps cleanly onto the XIAO using a proprietary connector. Just remember to peel off the protective tape underneath before snapping it in. That adhesive keeps things from wiggling loose over time.
-
BYO USB-C: No Type-C cable is included, so be sure you’ve got one that supports data + power.
Once you’ve got those pieces in place, setup is smooth sailing.
🔥 Flashing Meshtastic Firmware onto the XIAO ESP32S3
Getting your node Meshtastic-ready only takes a few minutes:
-
Plug It In: Connect the XIAO to your computer with a USB-C cable that supports data transfer.
-
Launch the Flasher: Open the Meshtastic Flasher.
-
Select Device: Pick “Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3” from the list.
-
Choose Firmware: Pick a version (latest stable is ideal) and click Flash.
-
Review → Continue: Skim the changelog, then proceed.
-
Full Erase + Install: For best results, select Full Erase and Install, then click Update.
-
Done! Your node will reboot, fresh and ready.
📲 Pairing with the Meshtastic App
Pairing the device is just as seamless:
-
Get the App: Download from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
-
Find Your Node: Head to the Bluetooth section and wait for your new node to appear. It’ll show a Node ID and other details.
-
Enter Pairing Code: Use
123456by default—or check the terminal log after flashing if it’s different. -
Select Region: Pick the right LoRa region (like EU868, US915, etc). The device will restart with your settings locked in.
