# Lemma's Silly Gadget Thing I wanna make something cool and useless like the VMU or whatever so let's brainstorm it here! ## Fundamental Principles - Cool - Useless (compared to like a smartphone or whatever) - Quasi-retro (new tech, old style) - Repairable (probably mostly off-the-shelf parts) - Interesting ## Brainstorming (conflicting ideas ok, this is just brainstorming) - Backlit dot-matrix display on front - Maybe frontlit? - E-Ink on back - WiFi/Bluetooth (limited?) - Bleeper speaker - Physical connectivity (non-USB) - FireWire? - Something custom? - Obligatory USB-C for power and flashing updates (more debug than anything) - Plug into other computers(?) - Click wheel for input - Full button set - Rechargable/replacable battery - Headphone jack - Enviro sensors - Removable storage - IR transceiver - .beat clock display ## To Figure Out - How big? - VMU sized? GB sized? Bigger isn't very feasible - How powerful? - Microcontroller or SBC? - Leaning towards microcontroller -
