so I've taken my wearable off the shelf and I'm currently redoing the setup now that better stuff is available.
first things first, rather than relying on a satchel I'm experimenting with velcro for attaching the various components.
second, I've replaced the RCA setup with a TRRS cable, both ends are wired the same so I can use one cable that's less bulky and intrusive, plus it looks more cohesive now.
pictures later, I promise.
Edit: Images now avail.
it's much more refined but I've still a long ways to go on it.
in my one hand is the Raspberry pi 3 (in the purple case), as well as the battery pack (5 hours last tested btw).
in my other is the keyboard for inputting data... it's solar powered so I don't have to charge it or plug it in, ever.
I've yet to make the attachment points but I'm thinking velcro or something with armbands to make this truly "wearable"
