# Board Comparison
The tables below are built from the repo's PlatformIO board metadata and variant build flags. `RAM` is the MCU's on-chip RAM where it is known from the MCU family. `PSRAM` is only shown when the repo declares it explicitly or enables it in board metadata. If the board enables PSRAM but the repo does not declare a size, it is marked as `Yes (size not declared)`.
This page is meant to help you choose a board, not just list every technical detail.
## Quick Guidance
If you only want a quick answer:
- for a roof-mounted or set-and-forget MQTT repeater, start with `heltec_v4`, `heltec_v4_tft`, `Station_G2`, or `T_Beam_S3_Supreme_SX1262`
- for an app-first Wi-Fi companion, headless boards are fine and often simpler
- if you want an onboard screen people will actually use, prefer TFT boards
- if you want a low-power status screen, prefer e-paper boards
The tables below are built from the repo's PlatformIO board metadata and variant build flags.
- `Target` is the short board name used in this comparison page. Release filenames and local build commands still use the full env names such as `heltec_v4_repeater_mqtt`.
- `RAM` is the MCU's built-in RAM.
- `PSRAM` is extra memory on some boards. More PSRAM usually means more headroom for UI, MQTT, and future features.
- `Web UI` means the local repeater web panel is enabled in that build.
If a board enables PSRAM but the repo does not declare the exact size, it is shown as `Yes (size not declared)`.
## Start Here
- Pick an `ESP32-S3` board with `16MB` flash and PSRAM if you want the most headroom for MQTT plus UI: `heltec_v4_tft`, `heltec_v4`, `Station_G2`, `T_Beam_S3_Supreme_SX1262`.
- Pick a TFT board if this will be used as a human-facing companion or field node: `heltec_v4_tft`, `heltec_tracker_v2`, `LilyGo_TDeck`, `Heltec_T190`.
- Pick e-paper if you want a status screen with lower idle draw and less frequent refresh: `Heltec_E213`, `Heltec_E290`, `Heltec_Wireless_Paper`, `ThinkNode_M5`.
- Pick a headless board if this is mainly a fixed MQTT gateway and screen space is not useful: `Xiao_C3`, `RAK_3112`, `Tenstar_C3`, `Heltec_ct62`, `Generic_E22`.
- Pick a headless Wi-Fi companion if the phone app will be the primary UI anyway: `Xiao_C3_companion_radio_wifi`, `RAK_3112_companion_radio_wifi`, `Xiao_S3_WIO_companion_radio_wifi`, `Station_G2_companion_radio_wifi`.
- Pick a GPS-capable board if location-aware/mobile use matters: the T-Beam family, `heltec_tracker_v2`, `Heltec_v3`, `heltec_v4`, `Station_G2`, `ThinkNode_M5`.
- If you want the most conservative, older radio family choices, the `SX1276` boards are `LilyGo_TLora_V2_1_1_6`, `Tbeam_SX1276`, and `Heltec_v2`.
## `repeater_mqtt` Boards
Rows with a trailing `_` in the env name are still included because they exist in `variants/eastmesh_mqtt/platformio.ini`, but they look more experimental than the main EastMesh targets listed in [local-builds.md](./local-builds.md).
This table includes all repeater MQTT targets currently defined in `variants/eastmesh_mqtt/platformio.ini`.

## `companion_radio_wifi` Boards With A Display
This table only includes Wi-Fi companion envs that actually have a display configured. Headless Wi-Fi companion envs such as `Xiao_C3_companion_radio_wifi` are intentionally excluded here.
These are the Wi-Fi companion targets that have a display configured for local status, setup help, or occasional direct interaction.

## `companion_radio_wifi` Headless Boards
These are the Wi-Fi companion targets that rely on the companion app as the primary interface. For many users, this is the best everyday option.
