Agile hardware development (as an Android dev)

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Android mobile skills port to hardware by actually wiring Android to Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Tinker Board modules and shipping PCBs fast enough to iterate a week at a time, claim backed by an intercom prototype that intercepts calls and opens the door silently and moved from breadboard to an open PCB that works. Toolchain includes USB Bluetooth Wi‑Fi NFC Python and Linux on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, assembly is DIY or contract, PCB cost examples as low as $35 with DHL and Chinese turnaround about a week.
