Pictured device is in the hands of "Moana".
Aparently she loves it and the button vibration and neo-pixel lights are fun. We will see how she developes with this device and are standing by ready to update as needed.
The device is currently configured as a basic needs communication device, but first she needs to develop some associations. It is easily updated in python through USB port and / or microSD card.

Open Source Assistive Devices
Expanding Accessibility, One Individual at a Time

The mission is to expand accessibility, collaborate with like-minded innovators, and grow open-source resources for special needs technology. Whether you're a potential collaborator, someone seeking support, or just curious, stop by to learn, connect, and explore how we can build solutions together!

Under Consideration, Minimum Full Assistive Communication Device
Working name MacD?
Square with large buttons or smaller with rotary encoder?
Rotary Encode can just be smacked for a distress message ...
📏 Overview: The device measures 80mm (3 inches) square and features large 12mm buttons, a compact (likely monochrome) screen, an audio amplifier, and support for a rechargeable battery. It’s designed to work with the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, but is also compatible with the original Pico. It includes connectors for integration into a larger system.

🛠️ Use Cases: Ideal for developers as a development board or as a compact emergency lanyard device.

💸 Estimated Cost: At quantities of 25, the PCB with components and battery is estimated at $25 USD per unit (not including potential tariffs).

🎨 Optional Upgrade: For a few dollars more, a larger color screen could be used. This would require additional space and possibly some redesign.

🎟️ Next Steps: I have some coupons available and I’m considering using them to build this board—unless another project takes priority.
