Build it yourself

Open hardware

exploitee.rs publish full KiCad schematic/PCB, Gerbers+BOM, and STEP enclosure files in their own maker-owned repos (CERN-OHL-S-2.0); the Meshtastic-fork firmware is a separate, also-official repo.

Research notes

shop.exploitee.rs and hackerpager.net (both 200 via WebFetch) explicitly point to the exploiteers GitHub org for 'firmware, PCB designs, and 3D-printable mechanical components.' Verified via gh api that hardware lives in two maker-owned repos separate from the firmware fork: Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager (CERN-OHL-S-2.0; full KiCad project incl. sub-sheets, Gerbers, drill, pick-place, BOM CSV, schematic PDF) and Case-Design-Files-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager (CERN-OHL-S-2.0; STEP enclosure across revisions V97/V98.5/V105/V107). The KiCad footprint library names the actual LoRa part as Ebyte E22-900M22S (an SX1262-based module), not a bare SX1262 IC — used that module's own datasheet for accuracy.
