Hello y’all!

I’m a student looking for fun hobby-projects. I am currently in college and have been programming for about 4 years now. I begin to see lots of cool projects on instagram and want to make my own.

Specifically, i found this project which is mainly software but also a good start of understanding serialbusses and matrix-display handling: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcR9UnTisa7/?stkn=MXR6OHRiMDh2dG8zNw==

I want to know, which components i need and what you’d buy if you were me. I would rather not spend too much money, but hit me with the expensive parts if it is a good value.

Furthermore, any tips is appreciated to avoid the most annoying beginning mistakes, but don’t ruin important learning steps if any!

Thanks!

Another one of a kind build by FITZPATRICK ELECTRONICS. Inspired by my latest PI-5 RetroDeck and CyberDeck here goes the PI-5 K Plus RetroDeck. With a Glass fiber PETG chassis I designed and printed myself. Powered by the 16GB RAM Raspberry pi 5, 512 GB nvme. 7 inch touchscreen display. Mini wireless keyboard. A dedicated raspberry pi battery hat modified with 4 high quality lithium laptop batteries for 5+ hrs of battery life. PINN bootloader installed to the NVME to dual boot between Batocera for all my retro gaming needs, and Twister OS for everyday workflow and educational computing. This monster is sturdy, rigid, and lightweight an absolute power house. Follow my YouTube channel for the full build FITZPATRICK ELECTRONICS!!
