The manufacturer's range primarily includes Crowtail sensors and accessories, ThinkNode LoRa devices, ESP32 modules, CrowPanel touchscreens, HDMI monitors and motor controllers. Elecrow supplies solutions compatible with popular platforms such as Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi. These products are used in home automation, measurement systems, robotics, off-grid communication, programming education and electronics prototyping.
Main Elecrow Product Categories
The Elecrow range includes complete communication devices and displays alongside small peripheral modules for expanding electronics projects. The main product groups available at Kamami include:
Elecrow products differ in communication protocol, supply voltage and connector configuration. Component selection should take into account the application requirements as well as the electrical and software compatibility of connected devices.
Elecrow Crowtail – A Modular Sensor and Connection System
Elecrow Crowtail includes a family of sensors, input/output modules and accessories using standardized connectors for rapid assembly. The system allows compatible modules to be connected to controller boards using ready-made cables, reducing the need for individual breadboard connections. Crowtail products include PIR motion sensors, touch sensors, soil moisture and water detection modules, collision sensors, accelerometers, RTC modules, GPS receivers, buttons and audio components. Elecrow also offers 4-pin Crowtail cables, adapters with female connectors and Crowtail Protoboard modules for custom circuit development. Standardized connectors simplify assembly, but users must still verify the supply voltage, pin arrangement and interface type before connecting modules. Crowtail is used in education, controller prototyping, measurement systems and robotics.
Elecrow ThinkNode – LoRa, Meshtastic and MeshCore
The Elecrow ThinkNode family includes LoRa radio communication devices designed for exchanging short messages and data over mesh networks. Available products include the ThinkNode M1 with an nRF52840 microcontroller and the ESP32-S3-based ThinkNode M2 and M5. These devices use SX1262 radio transceivers, while selected versions feature GNSS receivers, OLED or E-Paper displays and integrated rechargeable batteries. ThinkNode models support suitable Meshtastic and MeshCore firmware configurations for communication without a direct cellular network connection. Elecrow also supplies radio modules and gateway solutions for IoT projects. Selecting a device requires checking the supported frequency band, firmware compatibility and antenna specifications.
Elecrow CrowPanel, Touchscreen Monitors and Prototyping Electronics
Elecrow develops touchscreen displays for HMI applications and monitors designed for Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers. The CrowPanel series integrates TFT displays with ESP32 microcontrollers, enabling the development of graphical control panels. Selected models support the LVGL graphics library and development environments such as Arduino IDE and MicroPython. The Elecrow range also includes HDMI monitors, including 7-inch IPS touchscreens, and compact displays for Raspberry Pi Zero. ESP32 development boards, motor control modules and prototyping accessories complete the selection. The manufacturer provides technical documentation and example projects to support hardware integration. Elecrow products are used in operator interfaces, monitoring stations, IoT devices and electronics education workstations.
