The Heltec Mesh Node T114 868MHz with display is a low-power development board suitable for LoRa communication projects, mesh networks, IoT, telemetry, remote sensors and experimental applications compatible with Meshtastic, MeshCore and LoRaWAN.

The board combines the nRF52840 microcontroller, with Bluetooth 5.0 / BLE support, and the SX1262 LoRa chipset, providing an efficient platform for long-range, low-power communication projects.

This version operates in the 868MHz band and is suitable for projects using the European EU868 band. Heltec’s datasheet lists EU868 operation from 863 to 870MHz, and use must always comply with the applicable regulations and limits in the country of operation.

Unlike the screenless version, this reference includes a 1.14-inch TFT-LCD display, with 135 x 240 resolution and up to 262K colours, allowing device information, status, menus or compatible firmware data to be displayed locally.

The Mesh Node T114 provides several power and expansion options, including USB-C, lithium battery connector, solar panel connector, GNSS module connector and 2x13 2.54mm expansion headers.

Thanks to its low-power design, with deep sleep current listed at approximately 11uA, it is suitable for battery-powered LoRa nodes, portable devices, remote sensors, trackers and experimental stations.

This reference corresponds to the with-display version, supplied without enclosure and without GPS/GNSS module. These accessories may be purchased separately when available.

Important note

Before use, always confirm the correct frequency, required firmware, suitable 868MHz antenna, applicable regulations, configured output power, battery type, connector polarity, GNSS module compatibility and need for enclosure or mechanical protection.

Do not power or transmit with the device without the LoRa antenna properly connected. Operation without an antenna may cause high VSWR, reduce range and damage the RF stage of the LoRa chipset.

This version is an open-board device, without enclosure. Avoid contact with metallic or conductive surfaces while powered.
