hey there! the majority of the cost of this project comes from components you did not design. we can't justifiably fund this, sorry!

created a fork of pwngotchi to use in my device

i mainly done only little optimization and stability changes while i am in forums they said kali-linux dependencies cause it to break it a lot and also upated the go version and installed a tool called aircrackimage
these changes are specifically useful for zero 2w

created the front panel for the case

designed the front panel based on the display we used and ensure that it would fit perfectly and used plastic clips instead of m3 screws because it is way simpler and easy to implement

decided on a battery pack for the project

selected the pi sugar battery hat for the raspberry pi zero 2w (Pisugar2 Portable 1200 mAh UPS Lithium Battery)decided on that because of the pogo pins it is very easy to install image
