 # rpy-calculator
 
 We are making a calculator out of a Raspberry Pi and an LCD screen!
-It'll boot straight into a Python interpreter for use as a desktop calculator, the way the original Python was intended to be used.

+It'll boot straight into a Python interpreter for use as a desktop calculator, the way the original Python was intended to be used.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Python makes for a great scriptable calculator! It would be super cool to make a compact calculator that presents the user with a Python interpreter to use for solving complex problems.
+CW still has one year of college left, and since he loves Python so much, he wants to ditch his graphic calculator in favor of it!
+Also, it'll just be fun to play with some hardware for a change!
+
+## Methodology
+
+This project will attemt to construct as compact of a device as possible while still retaining usability of input and graphing capabilities.
+In order to do this, a Raspberry Pi Zero will be used along with a 3.5" LCD screen that attaches using the SPI interface of the GPIO on the PiZ.
+A separate, wireless handheld keyboard will be used for input.
+
+## Materials
+
+This will be a work-in progress list.
+
+* Raspberry Pi Zero
+* >4GB microSD card Class 10
+* "TinyLCD35" 3.5 inch TFT Display with pcb for Raspberry Pi Zero from NeoSec
+* 4x AAA battery holder
+* 4x AAA batteries
+* 5V VRM
+* SPST power switch
+* USB OTG Cable
+* iPazzPort Wireless Mini Handheld Keyboard
+* 3D printed case (Design will be provided)
+* Custom-booting Raspbian Lite
