Why would the device need to be any more complicated than a bluetooth speaker and microphone driven by a Raspberry Pi or something? That effectively reduces all the engineering necessary to making a case for the Pi that looks like a red rotary or push button phone, and stuffing a speaker and mic into the handset.
- germinalphrase 6y agoRight. That is clearly the general answer. Ideally - I would like it to be an actual red push button telephone with multiple lines to add complexity to the narrative - but simpler would be a fine start. Edit: basically - put a game inside this https://share.icloud.com/photos/0IH5hOBO_KECT2gSpzd5-n_4g https://share.icloud.com/photos/0IH5hOBO_KECT2gSpzd5-n_4g
- pmiller2 6y agoThat doesn't seem terribly tough, either, given that the Pi has 40 GPIO pins: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/physical-computing/1 https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/physical-comput... A push button is literally one of the most trivial things you can wire up to GPIO. You can also interact with GPIO in Python pretty easily: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio/python/README.md https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio/python/...
