How much did that run you? That looks awesome and i'd buy one right now if someone made this or made it easy for me to make it

  About $550 total. $400+shipping for the panel, $100+shipping for the Halbe frame with low reflection glass and a passepartout cut to size, $50 for the other bits. There's a 10.3" panel for half the price. With an IKEA frame etc. you can probably do a slightly smaller $250 build.

That’s terrific, quite inspiring! A couple of questions, if that is okay; How much did all of it run you down in the end? How do you recharge the battery? Did you consider adding a USB-C charge port somewhere? How much does it cost you to use the ChatGPT-API?

  (1) See my reply to your sibling re build cost rundown :-) (2) If you take a close look at the build, the module at the bottom is a little BMS board with a USB-C connector for charging! That said, I made the battery detachable with glue-on velcro pads and also have a Riden bench PSU with a very convenient battery charging mode. Often I don't bother with a USB receptacle and charging circuit for DIY projects and just go that route. (3) I currently use the gpt-3.5-turbo model on the OpenAI, which at present costs $0.002 for 1000 tokens. 1000 tokens are about 750 words. I make between 8 and 16 API calls to the OpenAI API for an update, with an in/out total of about 6000-8000 tokens on average (mainly because I am submitting the original article texts). I update the newspaper once a day in the morning. The total monthly cost is very low.

Great job. These projects remain as cool as they are non commercial.
