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

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 mp3 player :

the speaker from a failed Make ur UNO kit :

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.
