So I have a project that I'm contemplating undertaking. What I basically want is:
A lot of the times I'm lying down on my bed and watching a show or something. Except I would rather my face be facing the ceiling than one of the walls, if that makes sense. So I'm trying to make a small device (like a tablet, except without too many input option) which has (mainly) only one function: to use a wi-fi network to display one program that is running on the computer, and output any audio also originating from that program.
There's a few more thing I have in mind, but those are just the details and once I get started, I can easily work them in during the planning phase.
What I need to know is:
How would I go about programming the software on the mini-screen/pseudo-tablet?
I mean, I'm assuming I am going to have to start off with the Linux kernel. From there on, what do I do?
What hardware would I need?
On my list right now (and mind you, I only decided to consider this on an hour or so back, so this is probably extremely preliminary) are:
Screen
Casing
Battery+Charger
Motherboard
Wi-fi chip
Wi-fi network setup chip
So I know this is very premature at the moment, but I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks!
