So I really want to build one of these Pip-Boys from the Fallout games (specifically the first 2) and there are a few things I'm wanting to integrate. I want to make this something I could legitimately use, so I'm planning on putting a bunch of gadgets in there that will interface with the screen and program. Problem is, I don't know whether an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi would be more suitable. I want it to have
>GPS
>Geiger counter (already have a working one)
>Clock
>FM/AM radio (I don't know if I could interface it with a program but I'm thinking I could just gut one or find one of those small kits on eBay and have it turn on and off from the program. Otherwise it would be separate probably)
>RFID access
>PC interconnectivity via flashdrive or something
>Photovoltaic Tritium battery for shits and giggles eventually since it's a Fallout thing
I want it to look something like this but I'll nix the buttons and the cage thing on the side and add something else.
I also don't even know how I would make a case without a 3D printer but I don't have one.
Is this a plausible idea? Would I run out of space on an Arduino? I just wanna LARP and take it on hikes guys
I saw a thread about this a long time ago, so if the anon who made his own is seeing this, some advice would be cool. Also if there are any books on coding anyone could recommend that would be cool, since I only know really basic C for the purpose of fucking around with an Arduino

I wanna make a Pip-Boy. Not wrist mounted, but something like this from the earlier Fallout games. I already have a working geiger counter, but I wanted to add a GPS, FM radio, access to PC via USB or something, a SMALL nuclear battery (photoresistors and tritium just for the memes) The radio doesn't have to interface with the program and interface exactly, I just want to have an on/off switch controlled via a program and not a physical switch. Obviously I'm gonna redesign it to be more practical but this pic looks cool and is a basis of what I want.
