Picked up a really nice looking USB OTG adapter today for a quarter. The best part: Only had a $10 bill, and I saw somewhere there I knew many years ago who gave me a quarter. Saved me $2.70. One step closer to having this project moving again. Still waiting to get paid in the morning, then sorting out budget to see if I can afford to get the rest of the needed supplies for this project. I still NEED to get the Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter in order to get the Raspberry Pi Zero working. I will be buying the version 1.3 Pi Zero with the camera adapter as well, when it is back in stock.

Of all my projects, this is the most exciting to me, as it will replace the little black notebook and pen I carry around constatnly. I am hoping to find a simple way to input new note items into the Raspberry Checklist directly from the little LCD. I may very well make a very tiny keyboard on it using the same type of push buttons that the LCD keypad uses. Just added a bunch on the front, since this thing has to be scaled up to accomodate a big battery anyway. Not set in stone yet. Need a good way to quickly input text into this thing, as well as the code to handle it. Very complicated at this point. May have to make the super simple one first, then start adding the features I dream of on the next version.
