Taking over four years, I have the object of my childhood dreams and I hope you can dream along with me! The Original Series Star Trek Tricorder!

This is a DIY project video showing an overview of the process and components used.

Thank you notSpock for the integration of the Moire GIF and IR Camera into the Clue and CompaniaHill, who created the Moire pattern GIF... and others from the Fleet Workshop for all the help on this project!

The PyPortal and Itsy Bitsy were programmed using CircuitPython and the Clue used Arduino IDE. All the code for this project are available on my GitHub site, https://github.com/oldblackcrow
