FAQ
Frequently asked questions about LowMesh, mesh radios, the web flasher, and orders—organized by topic.
LowMesh provides devices and tools for off-grid mesh networking. We support Meshtastic© and MeshCore™ platforms so you can stay connected without cellular or internet. All our products are custom made with no development boards. We design our own PCBs, customize the firmware for easier and more battery-optimized experience, and we do the assembly and 3D printing in house.
See the Devices page for our list of compatible hardware and spec sheets. Meshtastic© and MeshCore™ support many ESP32, nRF52, and RP2040-based radios. At LowMesh we focus on nRF52 and ESP32 based hardware.
Meshtastic© is a widely adopted open-source mesh stack with a large ecosystem of apps and devices. MeshCore™ is an alternative firmware and ecosystem (e.g. repeaters, room servers) with its own tools—see meshcore.co.uk for the project. In our web flasher, pick the platform that matches the firmware you want to install.
The general rule of thumb, for adhoc networks choose Meshtastic©, for networks that will have static infrastructure such as repeaters that wont be removed, choose MeshCore™.
Often yes on supported hardware, but it depends on your exact board, bootloader, and radio. Treat it as a full reflash: use the web flasher, follow device-specific steps, and keep a recovery path (USB, DFU, or UF2) in mind. When unsure, check each platform’s official documentation and if you have any issues with your LowMesh hardware, please contact support.
