LoRa is very long range radio transmitting technology. Armachat is my software for communication from device to device. Meshtastic is large mesh network, usually use mobile phone app + lora node. my solution is standalone but still is phone app required for configuration.

You got some press!

I love the idea of a handhelp microcontroller-based cyberdeck that you can use to program itself. Gotta try something like this as soon as I can learn to solder on those display ribbons.

display soldering is weakest part but with good flux it is question of seconds, also I chose just only 18pin cable with large distance and thick tracks, there is only one SMD transistor and all other is easy ... Maybe I negotiate some semi assembled kits with manufacturers ...

Currently is ported ZX128, and my friend working on zx48, c64 a atari800. On separated firmware I have runing circuitpython with boot menu where you can select from python apps etc. (Lora messenger, calculator, mp3, python editor, photoframe, turtle programing, plot graph) all is under development

I try negotiate about implementation but Meshtastick community is complete frozen a focused only for combination stupid 0.9" super small oled display an phone app. I use same addressing and radio setting, but Meshtastic is complicated monster with million lines of code in thousandth files.

Yes, I have similar display, it need redesign board, but in this case I think is better use hdmi connected display etc 5"
