Would This Raspberry Pi Work For My Project

taigalove
taigalove over 4 years ago

Hi everyone, I am really new to hardware/technology like this. I can easily run a computer or smart phone but I have no idea what all is inside them. I'm wanting to create a handheld Virtual Pet device.It's basically like the Tamagotchi On/Meets but has so much more to do. image

9 different menu Options to close from with each option opening up more than one thing to do or change/ 14 different locations to visit and do things at/ many many different types of foods(cold,hot and nonperishables)/ pets stores for your VPet to get their own pet/pet supplies from and much more. The device itself has many different components to it(device will be rechargeable with a USB type C charger/Infrared-Bluetooth-Wifi for connecting/wanting to be able to insert a SD/Micro SD card for more storage/ volume slider with five different options and it will click into place for each volume setting/headphone jack/vibration feature/ rechargeable battery that can be replaced when it dies out) and more. The main thing is I have no idea where to start or what type of materials I need to accomplish what I want to do. If anyone has time to help me with my project I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance

    "...The main thing is I have no idea where to start or what type of materials I need to accomplish what I want to do..."

    Perhaps take a look at this virtual pet project over on Element14 Presents :

    A Raspberry Pi 3 A+ with a touchscreen will make for a good handheld device and give you all the inputs you are going for.

     

    Amazon.com: UCTRONICS for Raspberry Pi Touchscreen, 3.5 Inch High-Speed SPI TFT LCD Portable Display with Stylus Pen: Electronics

     

    The pygame library for python is a good platform to make the application.

     

    GettingStarted - pygame wiki

     

    I'd start with getting/learning Autodesk Fusion 360 (it's free).  Then download the hardware model from grabcad.com and import it into Fusion to design your enclosure per your sketch.

     

    See ya',

    Sean
