80's Retro Cyberdeck

Rikkstar
Rikkstar over 1 year ago

Hi All,

So this seems to be the best place to base my ideas and project in as it covers all the bases of what I am trying to do :- 

The project is to create a cyberdeck/pipboy inspired rig but in an 80's Synthwave design for a LARP that I do. 

There are two main components to the project - 

1) The physical build, I have purchased a 3d printer (Qiditech X-Plus3) to help with creating bits and pieces which will make up the build itself (I am completely new to 3d printing but did my first Benchy last night)

2) The coding - I am hoping a Raspberry Pi 5 will run the computer at the heart of the project, but am looking to design a GUI which will hopefully be styled in an 80's way with gridlines and lots of green :D 

              In addition the GUI interface will need to track a number of things like - Health, Location, Music, and some sensors hopefully. To this end I am starting on the journey to learning Python

It feels like quite a big project but figured I would put up a more detailed of what I am looking to achieve.

    Sounds like a fun project.  While it came out in 89 you might look at the Nintendo Power Glove as an idea since you connect with an 80s game store.  Change it up some for a touchscreen interface/hat for the rpi5?   en.m.wikipedia.org/.../Power_Glove.  hackaday.com/.../   community.element14.com/.../episode-239-ben-heck-s-power-glove-teardown-episode.
