My project Development case Idea

My project Development case idea

Due to limited space this case would be quick to set up as a multi functional development flight case

The case lid will be holding a 7“ vga lcd display this display works on 12v the case lid will also have access to the raspberry pi gpio pins and the arduino gpio pins and have the ability to connect the leds under then with jumper cables there will also be two 20mm speakers available that is connected to the raspberry pi via a small amplifier running about 5v i'm guessing

The bottom of the flight case will have to levels the bottom level will hold the raspberry pi and the arduino as well as a usb hub.

the top level would be interchangeable to allow for expansion like holding a breadboard or led matrix. or relays

Can you help

I want to power the main components with one power supply this will need at least one 12v line as well as three 5v lines able to supply the opriate amps

lcd Supply Voltage: DC 9-35V

Arduino 5v

Raspberry Pi 5v

usb hub 5v

would love to but thats where im stuck at providing enough power for the lcd screen raspberry pi and ardrino although might be a good idea to also be able to switch the ardrino and pi on and off when needed so if one isnt being used at the time being able to deactivate it

Why both Pi and Arduino? Maybe there are other things to do what you want without too much hardware...

my thinking is that this would allow the pi to program the arduino on the go as well as show output and information back from the arduino to the pi then to the screen. then when finished fold the case up and put it away. If i wished to move the project ones development and testing is complete i could just take the boards out or export the work to a perminat location main problem i can see is how to power it a atx power supply would be able to but then the size would be a issue

Pcduino V3 Nano is:
Small and can run on a battery easily. You will need more power for motors etc.
Can program itself. It is a small Linux computer just better than the Pi.
Arduino compatible. The shields will fit like the Uno. You use the same IDE.
Oh some pluses, it has a mSata interface for a solid state drive. It also has eMMC for flash to store the Linux system.
