dimensions and more

So i made a bigger drawing, just to see and lock down the design placements of things :

haha

So the components now are (for the top half) :

  • a big screen (around 10 by 13 cm) compatible with a stylus
  • a 7 segment screen for the time (that i already have and need to work out)
  • a circular screen for gps
  • 4 on / off switchs for :
    • turning the deck on and off
    • the gps
    • wifi and bluetooth
    • cellular data these last might need revision but u know (cos i don't)
  • a smaller screen for the mp3 player
  • 3 buttons for the mp3 player
  • 2 usb type b holes
  • a usb type c hole
  • 2 3.5 mm aux plug holes, one for in, the other for out
  • an sd card hole
  • an ethernet hole
  • a rotary encoder for sound (with button for mute)
  • and an antenna

Now the bottom half :

  • the actual keyboard, yet to be made
  • another usb type c hole
  • another 3.5 mm aux plug holes for in
  • an nfc plate (cos why not)
  • an E-ink display
  • the trackpad, with two buttons for left/right and middle click, with a "scroll surface" from @ashtf on youtube but an old laptop of mne has it soooo...
  • a cavity for the stylus

Now for the internals, i think an orange pi is a good option for what i have cos i think android would be something good, even though linus is the best, soooooo...

i amgonna try and reuse these :

The start

The Protagonist

My main goals, for the time being, is starting with something capable of and that has :

  • offline navigation (more like a mini-map / compass thing than Google Maps),
  • cellular acces to the internet,
  • calls,
  • bluetooth (?),
  • stylus only screen (I don't want finger my finger touching it) or a small keyboard, with a trackballl and a capacitive scoll "surface",
  • seperate mp3 player, like stuck on the side of it with duct tape,
  • radio (transmitter, receiver, and/or SDR ?) with an antenna
  • bunch of different things on different screens instead of one ( the nav on a circular compass screen, the mp3 on another screen)

thats what I want for now.

here's a sketch

going to have to start picking components

idk if the people reading can communicate back, but if u can, feel free to give me suggestions

Also :

im going to steal from the Anicept Tempus by Anicetus (https://blueprint.hackclub.com/users/73)

  • step tracking a real Time Clock,
  • a buzzer for new quests,
  • a microphone for call

i should note that that empty space i left next to the ball, keyboard, stylus, ... is for the speaker holes, or i can put another small screen for software.

as for hardware i can maybe have that starter keyboard project as my keyboard

for the mp3 player, having it's storage linked to the main computers would be cool.

I am thinking about incorporating an ai assistant in it, one that is tweaked of course.
and a camera to see the world, not high quality, but if its good enough for a smartphones, its good enough for me.
