Inspiration
I wanted to have a portable computer talk to my home server while I am moving around.
What it does
The computer has Linux booted up on it so I can practice directory commands for Linux
How we built it
Using Raspberry Pi 4 for the main system and using a Raspberry Pi pico for the extended monitor that gets strapped to the wrist and allows you to view the display.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge that I ran into was programming the pico's monitor to display the main system and not just a blank screen. Another challenge I ran into was not having a keyboard to use for booting up the Raspberry Pi 4.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I was finally able to make a hardware project that I have been wanting to work on for a while now.
What we learned
The documentation for the pico's libraries are poorly written and there are no guides or published finished projects which makes this project unique but a fun challenge.
What's next for Wrist Computer
Continuing to work on it to eventually make it a branch of my home server that allows me to communicate with it regardless of where I am.
