Cyberdeck (?) - Memoroscope

Video here!

What is this? Just a strange little device. Use it for showing off old family videos, as a place to watch classic TV, as some kind of crazy nerf ammo counter, or as a jumping off point for whatever project you want.

I've setup mine to boot into an 'emergent behavior' demonstration where 'hawks' chase murmuring 'birds' endlessly - like a programmer's lava lamp. (I didn't invent boids, nor doing a terminal implementation -credit to redditor rasmusmerzin for the idea- but did write my own for this project - you can see the github here)

Can hold it using the stand, the side and bottom handles, the headband mount, or the picatinny rails for attaching to whatever other project.

Hardware:

• ~25$ = Raspberry Pi Zero
• ~8$ = 32mm circular screen
• ~5$ = 10ish m3 screws at 10sih mm length (can go a little longer/shorter, 14mm whatever). You will need a few more/less depending on if you want the headband and the stand, two handles or neither, whatever.
• ~4$ = Headband uses 40mm elastic band (I used 80mm folded in half)

Everything is designed to print flat and without supports EXCEPT for the body cap, which I printed on it's side and used organic supports + brim. I added image for clarify of which part needs supports and where. Of course, feel free to do whatever you like within your slicer, and modify the models to your hearts content.

Not necessarily a good beginner project - likely requires some soldering, familiarity with linux, etc.

Took me a bit to get the screens working with the rpi - I have a writeup on reddit here that can help you get started

If you want the 'older' version, where the screen is at the tip, check the 'memoroscope - tip screen.zip'

OnShape CAD is here if you want to make your own versions.

Good luck!
