Today we’re diving into two awesome new Meshtastic devices sent over by Elecrow the ThinkNode M1 and ThinkNode M2. These portable LoRa-powered nodes are designed for decentralized, off-grid communication using the Meshtastic protocol.
In this unboxing and first-look video, I cover:
The key specs and differences between the M1 and M2
Built-in GPS, antennas, and screen controls
How to connect each device to the Meshtastic app
A quick test using my T-Deck to confirm message delivery
Practical thoughts on build quality, usability, and features
The M1 packs GPS and a larger battery, while the M2 is compact and backpack-ready — both great additions to my growing mesh network. Stay tuned for more Meshtastic content coming soon!
