Shoebox PC
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2016 8:19 am
After a long project, i decided to make a shoebox PC.
I will be creating my own OS (jOS, 832 lines of code currently) and I will be doing it with assembly, batch, Python, and c++.
So far I have wiped a old disc and 8GB flash drive. I plan on using the disc to apply the OS and using the flash drive as RAM. The plan now is to cut holes in the top and put a old PC fan in there, get a keyboard, and modify a tablet. I have managed to find a way to make the disc have a virus-like installation process where I do not need to put in any UI to install it. I made a motherboard with some old cardboard, a sodder, and a few old wires. I managed to take apart my old iPhone 4 and turn its memory into the hard drive. The iPhone will function like a touch-pad mouse after I finish with it. Does anyone have any questions, comments, or tips?
(I managed to find an old 4G USIM apple as a backup in case the wifi is shoddy. But I am buying a USIM apple programmer so I can turn it into a all-purpose microchip)
(The power source is 4 old chargers, a small transformer, and the power switch for it is a power grid thingy [ what are they called? They have a switch, connect to an outlet, and have multiple sockets...])
(I had problems with the motherboards elevation and the transmission so I decided to buy some Legos and rubber bands to elevate it and allow it to be on a powered motor pulley system to hard reset the transmitter. I have also managed to get an extra fan to turn on that functions with rubber bands since it was broken before I started using it.)
(I am considering using a beats speaker)
