Question on Altoid tin build
I was recently inspired by a mini cyber deck build that was completely enclosed in an altoids tin and was wondering if I can do the same with meshtastic. I was planning on having a keyboard and a screen in there (no external phone that would be used as a gui). I was wondering if there was a circuit that could handle all that. Would I need to add a raspberry pi zero to handle computation or do the dedicated LoRa circuit boards handle all that? I’ve tried to find answers online but there doesn’t seem to be a clear answer for my use case. I’m also trying to make these as cheap as possible because I will be making multiple.
There is also the problem of range. I understand that LoRa is mostly line of sight but I was wondering if there are any foldable or compact antennas I could use. It needs to fit a very small footprint.
