    Already done!

    LoRa is a low power radio communication protocol that is very useful for warehouse and farming equipment, among many other things. I currently use ESP32s for GPIO, LoRa, and Wifi, and occasionally FPGAs for various tasks. But ad-hoc testing and diagnosis can be a pain for these devices, requiring multiple different dongles, power adapters, and converters.

    If I can consolidate 75% of that gear into a single, handheld device, it will easily pay for itself in productivity gains.

      LTE and NVME is mutually exclusive on the device I believe.

      If all you need is a 3.92” screen, 8GB of ram or less, 128GB of space plus an sd card, and a tiny screen then it’s fine. Kickstarter though means unknown delivery date. I don’t think they’ve sold anything before?
