Day 2 (04-06-25)
I think every day is not exciting but i believe in consistency .so today after many designs i finalized one which is simple and works!
Design :-
Hope the final case also looks like this 😅
AS this is my first hardware project i want to keep the design simple and good looking
Time Spent:- 4.5hrs
Day 3(12-06-25)
I failed to maintain consistency due to my laptop and other stuff going on suddenly but i donot want to leave this idea or this opportunity to build what i have in mind so in this time I researched all the materials required
BOM:
| Material Name | Price(approx) | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Odroid C5(SBC) | $39(3,332.45rs) | Odroid C5 |
| 2 X Condenser-Microphone | $.35(30rs) | Mic |
| 2 X 2w Speaker | $1.17(100rs) | Speaker |
| 64GB SD-CARD | $8.19(700rs) | SD CARD |
| F2F JUMPERS 40pcs | $0.47(40rs) | Jumpers |
| 12V/2A Power Adapter | $2.34(200rs) | Power Adapter |
| 3D Printing | $11,70(1000rs) | i will use Robu as it is from india and could lower the transportation cost |
| 30 X screws | $0.023(2rs) | Any website |
The Final price is under $100(including shipping)
I think my side work is done now the hackclub team should review the project and hope they fund it to give life to bujji coming to the software part i think i can only work on it if i have the hardware with me because the system i am using is also far less capable .Hope everything goes right 😊.
i thought of removing the screen as it makes the budget more and also i still don't have that much experience so instead going into project creep i just want to make it simple for now if possible updating it in the future version*
