PI-pboy Mini

The mega swiss army knife of wearable hardware.

Designed for those who just really want an open source pipboy style wearable that's compatible with almost everything I guess

NOTE:

This is currently untested, as I am still working on obtaining parts.

Updates will be made after I get the components

Are there better solutions?

Yeah, but I want to make this one mine, with all the bits and bobs I could ever want. Just uploading the stuff so anyone could make one if they wanted

Hardware:

Pi Zero 2w x1

Waveshare V4 2.13 inch E-ink display hat x1

Rotary Encoder x1

Wrist strap of choice x1

Pi Pico (for expansion shim, since the display hat will take up GPIO space)

Pisugar 3

Dependencies:

pyautogui

RPi.GPIO

python-opencv python3-opencv opencv-data

mediapipe-rpi3

mediapipe-rpi4

gtts

mpyg321

spidev

TO DO:

GPIO based Serial console, because why not

Implement a custom GUI, to select from a list of apps.

GPS compatibility via UBLOX-7 module.

"Graceful" Desktop interaction

(Onscreen keyboard, etc).

KDE Connect stuff, make it like a smart watch.

Modular GPIO, allowing for custom modules to be slapped into it and interacted with

(I.E: Thermometer, laser distance sensor, MQ series gas sensors).

A way for the PI to figure out what its connected to.

(Could be temporarily solved with a dropdown menu to select what's installed, though that seems cumbersome)

Proper setup guide.

Custom assets

(Boot screen, buttons, fonts).

Modded 3d printed case, to allow for a bigger battery, interfacing for custom modules

(I'm not sure how far the twin rotary encoders can go in terms of being "comfortable").

Camera, object detection, and pose tracking toggle for fun

Zero Light Mapping via 360 LIDAR module

Support for servo and stepper motor testing maybe?

Controller expansion

Pentesting stuff?

The ability to switch between the custom GUI and a destop environment.

It's a mini PC, why the heck not?

Set up quicksetup.sh

Modules:

Microphone - Ambient or direct sound measuring

Raise a warning if it goes past a certain threshold, as a means of protecting hearing

Laser Distance

Ultrasonic distance

MQ series sensors - Gas

CO2 sensor - MH-Z16 for this version

Dust sensor - Waveshare Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F

Environment sensor

360 LIDAR

Controller expansion

Make it so custom controls like joysticks or extra rotary encoders can be plugged in to control things connected through GPIO. Like, two servos controlled with a couple rotary encoders, or a joystick. I want to support at least 3 additional inputs. Really stretching the GPIO pins of the pi thin... might need a co-processor like a Pico to recieve serial and expand the overall GPIO. need to make a circut diagram first.

Remote transmitter

Remote controlled arduino stuff maybe?

These could be used as inspiration, modified they could do exactly what I need. I suppose this is my way of crediting these projects
