My first ever Raspberry pi project [The PodBerry Touch]
April 3, 2024, 08:33
So I like small sized phones that can literally fit in your palm like ipod or any old Samsung phone or the Palm Phone.
So I wanted to make a phone with a touch screen, headphone jack and a battery for charging and working without power cable.
I think a raspberry Pi Pico is good as it is small in size and cheap but I don't know about it's processing power
The pi pico can do stereo audio decoding, I'm not sure how much processor you're left with after that but it shuold be enough
So I am just curious wether I can add more processing power to this small board in case if the power is not enough
Phone = Mono sound and standard audio is 64kbps
The iPod didn't have speakers
it had a stereo output
I am gonna use my headphones anyways
Phone = Mono. I don't know where speakers and iPod come from
[The PodBerry Touch]
Is it a good name?
If its what I think it is then yeah
It's just a small sized phone
Pod is not a phone, so please decide is it a phone or a pod
Phone
PhoneBerry
But without speakers and camera because that seems like too much work
First, to add compute power is not feasible. And a Pico is a limited hardware so it can't compete with the hardware performace of a iPhone or Android.
If your gonna have a phonejack it is just a amplifier that is needed
So it's not powerfull enough?
What is powerfull enough?
The Pico
What do YOU mean with powerfull enough?
It can handle audio, touch, dísplay and a GSM/3G/4G/5G module
To run Android
Not happening
Noop
It could run a custom OS though
So I gotta learn to program and OS or there are some in the market already?
You'd have to write it yourself yeah
Android is a OS that is HW demanding, the Pico is a small microcontroller for a couple of bucks
Its like thinking you can use a bicycle to replace a tractor and plow the fields
Ohh
Alright
I realised my mistake
It's raspberry Pi Zero
Not pico
