## Communication
-
While WiFi is inexpensive and fits moving device gracefully, the
reliability of Ethernet is indicated for a server. Ethernet adds
1 USD of cost for the transceiver handling the electricial characteristics
of Ethernet. These typically expose an RGMII interface.
## Processing
-
A microcontroller featuring an Ethernet peripheral (with an RGMII
interface) could be the popular STM32F103, or an alternative
compatible part. Enough processing power would be present for an
embedded TCP/IP and a TLS stack.
## Automation

In addition, most microcontrollers feature a large range of
built-in peripheral such as timers and communication or analog
interfaces, enabling automation of devices such as lighting,

## Storage

A slot for a MicroSD card would allow storing and updating

## Scripting
-
There exist project to fit programming languages onto microcontrollers.
Separate projects for supporting a subset of each of Python, Ruby,
Javscript, Go, Rust, Lua, Forth and more.
## Power
-
By letting power supply happen through the USB port, a large range
of power source can be used, such as battery, solar panels, wind
turbine, hydropower, or power outlet.

@@ -14,20 +13,17 @@ Ethernet would require an extra transceiver chip, while wifi takes mostly
just a wire acting as antenna, which partly explains its low cost.
## Processing
-
One inexpensive family of processors featuring a high cost-to-performance
ratio, which also features WiFi, is the ESP32. The C3 iteration even uses
the open-source architecture RISC-V. The speed is decent enough for
decoding JPEG an PNG, or support TLS as used in gophers://.
## Display

The cost of displays have dropped considerably as they invaded the market.
Economy of scale made small color displays even cheaper than
character-based displays.

capacitive touch buttons can be used for little to no extra cost.

## Audio
-
Producing sound does not cost much more than a small audio amplifier,
software for decoding MP3, and a 3.5mm Jack connector.
Very small cost added.
## Extension
-
An USB interface would allow plugging the device to a computer for
either automation or using a full keybaord.
## Power
-
A small dedicated battery could be included increasing the cost,
but getting all power from USB would also preserve the choice to
the user, free to chose a wall charger or portable power bank.
## Enclosure
