Mesh tools

Mapping, configuration, flashing, and observing the network. Some participants do wardriving (walking or cycling with a companion to test coverage); these tools help visualise the mesh as observed.

Where to buy hardware

Any device designed for Meshtastic (ESP32 or nRF + SX1262 chip, etc.) can usually be flashed with MeshCore: searching for “Meshtastic hardware” remains a good starting point to widen your options.

Seeed Studio SenseCAP, Wio Tracker, XIAO kits LilyGo TTGO / T-Beam boards, very common Heltec WiFi LoRa 32, Mesh Node T114 Elecrow ThinkNode, MeshCore / Meshtastic ranges Meshnology Pre-assembled kits (Heltec, Seeed, etc.) RAK Wireless LoRaWAN modules and dev kits

Documentary sources

The content on meshpot.be draws on official MeshCore documentation, Belgian community guides and tools, and the experience of Brussels mesh participants.

#BEmesh, the Flemish MeshCore community, pioneers of the protocol in Belgium, largely made up of radio amateurs: region configurator, flood / unscoped guidance (August 2026), radio recommendations, and regional filtering. The settings suggested on this site are mainly inspired by their guides. French-language docs now exist as a complement (Liège Hackerspace wiki, DinX); in Brussels we stay deliberately more flexible while the local mesh is nascent.
