DiY Android Kiosks: Turning a Raspberry Pi into a Modular Workhorse
summary
Shows how to bolt Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen to an 80/20 aluminum cube and run Android, with concrete builds: Lineage OS images, NVMe/eMMC notes, and an alternative Oroid board path. Demonstrations include USB webcams, servos driven by PWM, GPIO/I2C hookups, a rotary encoder → servo demo, and resurrected Android Things drivers; tooling covers logic analyzers (cheap $25 clone vs $800 oscilloscope) and I2C hat stacks (addressable expansion). Ends with real use cases: inventory kiosk and DIY point‑of‑sale.
