June 19th: Research and BOM!

BOM: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xK2GKcyzaSyHJXkbUiqZ6LJcU027r2UqJxg5m5xeXcI/edit?gid=0#gid=0 I have a Rpi 5 at home, so ill probably use that, but ill see what happens. I want to make a break-offable set of joysticks/joycons, like what the Nintendo Switch has, probably using bluetooth, magnets and pogo pins. For my battery calculations, I estimated the approximate mAH that the system will use, then multiplied that by the number of hours I want it to be able to run. I want it to run for 3 hours without charge, and adding an extra half hour for making sure it will definitley reach that number even with inefficeincies, and the estimated power draw being 6000 mAH, so 3.5 * 6000 = 21000 mAH needed. I will try to find a battery about this size. For mAH calculations I used this calculator: https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/wh-to-mah-calculator.html
