Choose your hardware

Buy a node ready to run, buy a kit to assemble, or build one from parts. No tier comes with AntiHunter installed; you flash it yourself. See Flash a node.

Buy a node

The store sells nodes at four tiers.

Tier	What's included	What you supply
Bare PCB (note)	One empty board	All parts, soldering, radio setup, a FAT32 SD card
Soldered Core PCB (note)	Board with all parts soldered, 8 GB card, radio configured, whip antennas	5 V power, optional enclosure and antennas
Parts Kit (note)	Every part loose, except the GPS antenna and batteries	Assembly, radio setup, two 18650 cells, GPS antenna
Assembled (note)	Built and tested, with card, GPS antenna, and configured radio	Two 18650 cells

Build from parts

The core of a node is:

• A Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 (8 MB flash or more), or a XIAO ESP32-C5 for 2.4 and 5 GHz
• A Meshtastic board: Heltec V3.2 (recommended) or T114
• A GPS module, SD card, vibration sensor, and real-time clock

The full parts list, the pinout, and the enclosure files are on Hardware and BOM.

Important

Use a regulated 5 V supply. Unregulated batteries cause voltage instability.

Which board

Use the DIGI node (ESP32-S3) for the stable 2.4 GHz build. Use the DIGI C5 for 2.4 and 5 GHz, which is in testing. The RadarNode adds a 24 GHz radar.
