Logo for the Picorder Project

The TR-108 is a Raspberry Pi Zero based system that includes a sensor package, battery, display and supplemental components to provide a satisfying and accurate Tricorder experience. In the interest of inspiring others to build on what I have done I am providing all of the documentation I can.

Notes

Basic functionality is complete; the program logs values from the sense hat and displays them. Future releases will optimize this code, for now its a dogs breakfast. What do you expect, I'm a noob.

Requirement:

Picorder.py uses a number of modules to operate, specifically:

  • Pygame
  • Senshat
  • RPi.GPIO
  • sys
  • time
  • math
  • os
  • psutil (PC Demo only)

Be sure you have these modules installed before attempting to run this program.

Construction

You can find all the necessary construction documents in the "construction" folder.

Youtube Video

I decided to make a youtube video under my Obso1337 channel to walk through how I designed and built this device.
