Description ▼
Note: This is the Heltec Mesh Node T096 for the US band (902–928 MHz), with onboard 0.96″ TFT display and integrated UC6580 GNSS (L1+L5). Compatible with Meshtastic, MeshCore, and LoRaWAN.
Mesh Node T096 is a low-power development board that integrates Bluetooth, LoRa, and GNSS. The nRF52840 MCU provides processing and Bluetooth connectivity, while the SX1262 LoRa transceiver with PA delivers 28±1 dBm transmit power. The UC6580 GNSS chip enables precise global positioning for mesh networks, asset tracking, and remote sensing. LDS antennas for GNSS and Bluetooth keep the package compact; an IPEX LoRa antenna connector is provided for the included whip.
KEY FEATURES
- MCU nRF52840 (Bluetooth 5 / BLE / Bluetooth mesh) + LoRa chipset SX1262 with PA (max TX 28±1 dBm; LNA can be bypassed).
- Band: 902–928 MHz (US915 / commonly called 915 MHz).
- Onboard 0.96-inch TFT-LCD (ST7735S), 80×160 RGB.
- Integrated UC6580 GNSS (L1+L5) — supports GPS, GLONASS, BDS (BeiDou), Galileo, NAVIC, and QZSS. LDS GNSS antenna onboard; external GNSS antenna via IPEX 1.0 also supported.
- Ultra-low power: deep sleep ~13 µA.
- Lithium battery management (charge/discharge, overcharge protection, battery detection, USB/battery auto-switch) with CN3165 charge IC; solar input supported.
- Type-C USB with voltage regulation, ESD / short-circuit protection, and RF shielding.
- Interfaces: SH1.25×2 LiPo, SH1.25×2 solar, LoRa ANT (IPEX 1.0), GNSS ANT (IPEX 1.0), onboard LDS BT & GNSS antennas, 2×13×2.54 header pins, 2× LEDs, 2× buttons.
- Development: Arduino / Heltec nRF52 framework & libraries. Compatible with Meshtastic and MeshCore; LoRaWAN examples available in the nRF52 Arduino framework.
