“Device inspired by the Combadge from Star Trek that can turn on computers using speech commands.
Key Goals:
Make a wearable device that vaguely resembles a Combadge from Star Trek
Make it be able to respond to voice commands and perform actions – such as turn on a PC
Ensure that additional functionality can be added via drag and dropping in Python modules
Set a course for the Devron system.
Now I love Star Trek, if you hadn’t already guessed – I’ve always wanted to make something like one of the Combadges from the show, but as with many things you’ll see on my site; I’ve had many dreams I’ve not been able to bring to life until now. So I set forth with some searches online and found the parts and software I needed to try and make one:
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
- Speaker pHAT
- Momentary Touch Sensor
- Adafruit Powerboost 500c
- Lipoly Battery
- Pibow Zero W Case
- USB Microphone
- OTG Converter Shim
- Sugru
- Wire
- SD Card
- 40 pin male header
- Switch
- Nylon Screws + Spacers
- Tie Wraps
- Blu-Tak”
