Wireless Messaging

  • Chat wirelessly with other Meshtastic-compatible devices, directly from your Pager. Unlike most Meshtastic devices, a separate phone app is not required.

  • Meshtastic is an open-source protocol that creates a wireless mesh network between nearby devices using LoRa radios.

  • LoRa is a long-range wireless technology that transmits data many times further than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

 LoRa Toolkit and Development Platform

  • Capture packets as .pcap files containing Meshtastic, LoRaWAN, and other LoRa protocols to the SD card.

  • Analyze radio spectrum to locate nearby wireless devices and determine their channels.

  • Develop custom applications for the on-board SX1262 radio module using the Hacker Pager’s open source firmware and hardware.

Designed for Fun

  • Bask in the glow of the Pager’s retro LCD module with deliciously chunky pixels.

  • Play ROM files for the CHIP-8, a gaming platform created in 1977.

  • Turn heads at your next hacker con with PCB artwork, UV reactive plastics, visible internals, and 48 addressable LEDs.
