Background

Our team was tasked with creating a phone using a raspberry pi, touchscreen, and foldout keyboard. The goal was to create a functional device that could be used as a basic phone for making calls and sending texts.

Problem

The main challenge we faced was figuring out how to integrate all of the necessary components into a small form factor while still maintaining functionality. We also had to ensure that the device would be user-friendly and easy to use for individuals who may not be familiar with technology.

Solution

We began by researching different components and testing out various configurations until we found one that worked well. We then designed a custom case that would fit all of the components and allow for easy access to the keyboard and screen. To make the device more user-friendly, we created a simple interface that would allow users to easily make calls and send texts without having to navigate through complicated menus.
