I built a custom Memory Box for my son, combining woodworking and technology to create a unique keepsake. This box features an e-paper display that rotates photos throughout the day, a fingerprint scanner for personalized photo retrieval, and a Raspberry Pi Zero W running a full Linux operating system.
The project began with an ESP-32 prototype but transitioned to a Raspberry Pi for better handling of the fingerprint-based photo tagging system. The final design includes a Python script for memory uploads, battery management for portability, and 3D-printed components to integrate all parts seamlessly.
This project involved hardware integration, 3D printing, and software development, showcasing my ability to blend different technologies to create innovative, personalized solutions.
I wrote a technical blog post about this project, which you can read here.
I also made a YouTube video on this for fun. If you're interested, you can find it below.
