Meshtastic communicator matrix keyboard prototype

I make this toys thanks to my supporters / bobricius
Custom DIY matrix keyboard, no scan chip.
In future I create full custom PCB for all #meshtastic or #armachat supported boards.
Now 11 wires are required for 5x6 matrix keyboard,
Large 2.4" OLED

it would be really cool to have a fold-able unit, with the 18650 in the back where the screen hinges, display that folds over the keyboard, with a fractal antenna folding up from the back of the screen. soft touch keyboard keys, USB charging and 3D printable. (just dreaming :-)

A keyboard for meshtastic would be great. You are on the right track.
Would this keyboard work with Heltec v3 Lora?

[@bobricius]

originally it was in the plan, but in the end I decided to focus only on the Heltec TRACKER because it also has GPS

1-4km maybe more, depend on area, antennas, frequency, power
