Gotten this question a lot from you guys, so here's how I built my dream recorder. Okay. So first things first, I had to actually three d print the shell of the device, and this ended up taking almost forty eight hours total. I'm not a super experienced three d printer. My supports were kinda tricky to remove, but but I think they turned out pretty well overall. After that, I started getting all the electronics ready to be assembled. The brain behind the Dream Recorder is a Raspberry Pi, which is pretty much just a mini computer. All these parts in total cost me around $300 and I had to order all of them online. I started putting everything together. First was attaching the fan to the Raspberry Pi, then I attached that to the screen. I put together some of the little cables. And then I ran into a problem. There are so many different kinds of connectors out tier. And unfortunately, the ones that I bought didn't face the right direction and wouldn't fit how I needed them to. I ordered the correct pieces and two days better, we were back in business. I connected all the cables, put in the mini microphone, attached the touch sensor, put the memory card into the slot, and now came the moment of truth. Would this bundle of stuff fit into the shell that I three d printed? And I'm not gonna lie, it took a lot of wiggling around, but I did get it to slide in and everything seemed to fit together as it should. Here's how the dream recorder looks when it's turned on. I'm stoked on it, and I can't wait to see how it brings my future dreams to life. Follow if you wanna see more. Peace.
