I have a RakWireless modular one with PoE for my home node. I like that set up because it’s easy to build on top of. I haven’t 3D printed a case for it yet but I did get a huge 12dbi antenna for it. 

I also picked up the WizMesh Pocket from RAK and it’s great if you’re looking for something plug and play that also allows you to pop it open and develop it further in the future if you want. I use it as my daily driver and it’s nice, but it’s a bit dorky to carry around since I upgraded the antenna.

I recently ordered a bunch of SenseCAP Meshtastic devices to give to my friends, and I’ll probably keep one for myself because they are so small, look slick, and are water resistant. 

If I were starting over, I would buy the SenseCAP one and build from there. It’s a simple one to use as a daily driver while you figure out how deep you want to go. 🌸🤙🏻
