Do you have any recommendations for a cheap Meshtastic-compatible board? I don’t need GPS or a battery, since I’ll power it with a solar panel or a power bank. Having a case isn’t important; what really matters is avoiding any soldering.
I’m basically looking for a low-cost board with an integrated LoRa antenna. The goal is just to experiment, connecting it via Bluetooth to a PC or smartphone.


What’s the reasoning behind it being bad for solar?
High current draw, something like a rak or T114 is better. Heck there’s probably even better cheaper options these days, but anything esp32 based isn’t gonna be it.
