Description ▼
Note: This is the Heltec RD-GA01 RadioCore 9-axis IMU GNSS LoRa Mesh Node at 902–928 MHz, TX 21±1 dBm, with a conventional FDM 3D-printed PLA enclosure (not the sintered option). Choose your RadioCore: RC32 (ESP32-S3 + SX1262) or RC52 (nRF52840 + SX1262). Each option includes the matching RadioCore module and battery.
RD-GA01 is a ready-to-carry RadioCore mesh node with a 1.08″ TFT, 9-axis IMU, Quectel L76K GNSS, buzzer, rotary USER control, whip LoRa antenna, and an onboard 1800 mAh Li-ion pack — in a compact FDM-printed case.
KEY FEATURES

- Conventional FDM 3D-printed PLA enclosure (this listing; sintered finish is a separate Heltec option).
- 1.08″ TFT display, rotary USER control, abundant buttons, and onboard buzzer.

- Onboard 1800 mAh (104040) Li-ion battery; external whip LoRa antenna (SMA female).

NOTES
- For a GNSS fix, place the device outdoors in an open area (near a window is often not enough). First fix may take longer in some regions.
- RC32 flashing: hold USER, press R once, release USER to enter bootloader; press R again after flashing.
- RC52 flashing: double-press R to enter DFU mode, then drag-and-drop the firmware to the pop-up drive.
