this right here, is why I prefer raspi type units.
it's the best of both worlds, portable OS with GPIO in one package and easy to use and understand.
that being said, I've thought about using some kinda short range wireless modules with GPIO for the interface without needing custom hardware
I still like the idea of running alligator clip wires to GPIO pins for interfacing to random hardware with a custom cyberdeck type unit though, mostly because I like reverse engineering and finding ways to bypass stuff at the low level when possible, it's less hassle.
