Pick Device.
The Heltec V3 requires basic assembly and is a good starter option for experimenting, learning the app, and sending your first messages. Looking for turnkey? The ThinkNode M1 or Wio Traker L1 Pro are both great.

Install App.
This is what you will use to send messages to your MeshCore contacts. The smartphone app pairs to the MeshCore radio over bluetooth.
Flash Firmware.
- Open the MeshCore Web Flasher in desktop Chrome or Edge, connect your radio by USB, and select your device.
- Choose the MeshCore companion firmware for your device, click Flash, then pair the radio with the MeshCore app.
Say Hello.
Once the app and radio are paired, try a short public hello message, walk around, and discover what repeaters your radio can hear. If you are unsure what to do next, ask in the Discord and share what device you bought.
