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.

They can be fun to mess with. I tried it out years ago. Good to MeshMap - Meshtastic Node Map https://share.google/NY5NDDzQzRxqGSMP4

And see if any nodes are in your area.
