This is the place focused on developing detailed specifications and prototyping for the hardware components of the Dybo ecosystem.
- Processor. Recommendations for ARM-based processors suitable for educational tasks.
- Memory. Optimal RAM configurations for efficient multitasking and performance.
- Storage. Suitable storage solutions (e.g., eMMC, SD cards) to ensure sufficient space for educational applications and data.
- Display. Specifications for high-resolution and affordable touchscreens that support stylus input. 4096 levels of sensitivity to pressure is likely unnecessary.
- Battery. Durable, long-lasting cylindrical batteries.
The Interim Dybo
Utilize readily available components to create an interim Dybo prototype. This will allow for quick testing and iteration of designs before finalizing specifications.
- Modular Design. Create a modular prototype using existing components, such as:
- Raspberry Pi as the core processing unit.
- Standard touchscreen displays.
- Off-the-shelf stylus pens compatible with capacitive touchscreens.
- Battery packs from electronics suppliers for testing power management and longevity.
- Integration Testing. Conduct integration tests with DyboOS to assess the compatibility and performance of the prototype in real educational scenarios.
- Design for Repair. Modular and easily disassembled hardware to allow simple repairs and upgrades:
- Easily Accessible Components. Ensure critical components like the battery, display, and ports can be accessed and replaced with minimal tools.
- Clear Documentation. Provide comprehensive guides and diagrams to assist users in performing repairs, promoting self-sufficiency and reducing e-waste.
- Standardized Parts. Utilize standardized components wherever possible to make replacements easy and inexpensive.
- Sustainable Materials. Promote sustainability through the use of the appropriate materials, encouraging a culture of reusing and recycling.
