## Description

The Elecrow ThinkNode M9 is an all-in-one LoRa communication terminal with a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.4" colour LCD. Unlike most mesh nodes, it needs no phone: you type, read and navigate on the device itself. Pre-installed with MeshCore firmware, it joins the mesh as soon as you power it on. Built around the ESP32-S3 and the Semtech LR1110 LoRa transceiver, with GPS, a magnetic compass and a 2300mAh battery in a pocket-sized 10.3mm-thin body. Important — this is the MeshCore version: The M9 ships with MeshCore firmware, not Meshtastic. The two protocols cannot talk to each other, and only one can run on the device at a time. Check which network your local mesh community is running before you buy. Not sure of the difference? Read our guide: MeshCore vs Meshtastic. Key Features Full QWERTY Keyboard – 37 physical keys for real typing. No phone, no app, no pairing needed to send a message. 2.4" Colour LCD – 240×320 TFT display at 200 cd/m², bright enough to read messages, maps and node lists at a glance. MeshCore Pre-Installed – Joins the decentralised mesh right after power-on, with no setup required to start receiving. Semtech LR1110 LoRa – Long-range 915MHz transmission for Australia and New Zealand, via an internal FPC omni-directional antenna. ESP32-S3 Processor – Dual-core Xtensa LX7 at 240MHz with 8MB PSRAM and 16GB of onboard storage. GPS and Compass – Multi-constellation positioning (GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS) plus a magnetic compass sensor for location sharing and navigation. 2300mAh Battery – Two to three days in standby, charged over USB-C. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 – For configuration and for connecting to companion apps when you want them.
