I think I’ll build my own. It seems that I’d rather build my own, take responsibility for the faults, the fate by its hoary head. I detest the throwaway nature of electronics. If I build my own, I can fix and repair my own.
Soo… desolder keys. I need to make sure I can get a keyboard up and going.
Thumbstick from Sparkfun. I need to look up that part.
Dismantle a laptop or two for a screen. If none of them is up to the task, than I whip on one of the 10″ screens from Adafruit. I do wish that Pixel Qi’s were still being made. I hate the idea idea of tying myself to dead technology, but the description of their displays were dope. I shall divert how hard it is to make my own custom OLED. The funny thing is, I actually kinda want monochrome.
Slave the Thing to the Beaglebone. I want the Thing’s wifi and much more sacrificable gpio pins.
Last, add up the kludge I’ve built, find a battery and power regulation circuit that gives me the juice.
Peter's stuff.
