Elecrow MeshStick — USB-to-SPI SX1262 TCXO LoRa USB Stick (Meshtastic Compatible)

Elecrow MeshStick — USB-to-SPI SX1262 TCXO LoRa USB Stick (Meshtastic Compatible)

The Elecrow MeshStick is a compact, plug-and-play USB LoRa adapter designed to turn almost any computer into a full Meshtastic mesh node or gateway. Powered by the Semtech SX1262 with TCXO and a CH341 USB-to-SPI bridge, it requires no external power — simply plug it into a USB port and it is ready to use. Ideal for creating low-cost LoRa mesh nodes, repeaters, or regional gateways on Raspberry Pi, industrial PCs, OpenWRT routers, Steam Deck, and other Linux systems.

KEY FEATURES

• True Plug-and-Play: USB bus-powered — no external power supply needed
• SX1262 + TCXO: High-performance LoRa radio with temperature-compensated crystal for better frequency stability
• Meshtastic Ready: Fully compatible with official Meshtastic firmware and the meshtasticd daemon
