Complete noob needs help with Pi3 components for Pipboy

ibagadget

Slightly overwhelmed here with all the info on this board.

 

Quick synopsis - Been a huge Fallout fan for many years, and just recently had a friend give me the 3D printed Fallout Pipboy 3000 and the Pi3 board w/screen that goes in it. I have no idea what I'm doing. I watched the Element 14 video on the 2000 Mk II build, and I like some of the accessories that he put into his build. I would like to do something similar, with the GPS location tracking, menu switching, environmental readout and music playing (possibly from an attached USB drive?)

 

I have never even held a Pi3 before this, let alone put one together and programmed it. Any assistance in what components I need to get, as well as where to find coding resources would be greatly appreciated.

  • Well, I bit the bullet and ordered the 223pc starter project kit and a 37pc sensor kit from Amazon. Just have to track down a GPS chip that will work and get it ordered, then I should have everything I need to get started on this project.

     

    Then I just have to learn how to solder and code.

     

    Fortunately, the starter kit comes with a tutorial book and sample projects, so that should help me get learning.
