Designed by Experience, Shared by Design

The foundation starts from our experience, building thousands of devices we learned exactly what works and what doesn't.

All the while, we were imagining the ultimate Meshtastic devices, the hardware we wanted to use and share. Simple to build and easy to modify.

So, we started building, piece by piece, fueled by our community's needs.

  • Custom core modules, optimized for performance and efficiency
  • Next-gen Base boards, defining a new standard of features and usability
  • Expandability via our IO board system, designed to grow with your projects and ideas
  • Open source for the community to build upon

This is more than a development board, it's the future for decentralized communication, and we're just getting started.

2.4GHz LoRa and Beyond

Set your LoRa region to 2.4GHz and start meshing today! Enjoy worldwide compatibility and take advantage of the broader 2.4GHz spectrum.*

Base Duo provides hardware support for increased data-rates up to 12 times faster compared with the current Short Turbo preset.

* Base Duo only [SF5 and GFSK are not supported by Meshtastic... yet!]

Built by you.

We'll give you everything you might need so you can get to building.

Elecrow x MUZI WORKS

To fit the feature set we desired into the small board footprint we wanted it became clear we needed a very capable module partner. We worked with Elecrow over many months to develop the modules that are the core of our Base boards. We thank them for their incredible support.

Bare modules are available in our store.
