Detailed Description
The ThinkNode M1 is designed by Elecrow as a complete solution for mesh communication. Unlike many other devices, this is not a bare circuit board but a fully finished product with optional enclosure.
The nRF52840 processor is known for its low power consumption - only 5.6μA in sleep mode. This means your battery lasts for days with normal use. With GPS enabled this is about 24 hours, without GPS you can go 4-5 days.
The e-paper screen is perfect for outdoor use: excellent readability in direct sunlight and the image remains visible even when the battery is empty. The 2 second refresh time is acceptable for messages.
