RAK WisBlock Meshtastic Starter Kit

WisBlock Meshtastic Starter Kit

RAK Wireless makes the RAK Wisblock and is very versatile with additional modules that can be added to the board. These typically have the best battery life but do not come with a screen or GPS without adding additional modules.

1. Cost is around $35

2. Only includes board with very minimal antennas (IPEX and require pigtails)

3. No included screen and adding one requires soldering (the screen is not required to work)

4. Battery Life: Multiple Days with 3000mAh battery

5. May be intimidating for a beginner or non-technical person but will provide best battery life once built

6. Total Node Cost with Case, Battery and Antenna is $50 -75

3-D Printed Case
