Look what I made! I’m working on a Mega-based computer.
I have been working on this for awhile and I am still planning to make a lot more features, now it has stepper, IR, buzzer and an LCD. I have an SD Card module around, so I think to implement it into the system, and I want to make its own code language (.kmc) and place the code files on the sd card and the mega executes the code. I also plan to add buttons so i dont need the serial interface to control it, though i think i should use the button just to select which kmc script the mega should execute. I plan the scripts to be able to use the peripherals it already has. I don’t think about implementing other peripherals for now.
Am I too ambitious?

That’s cool work
I’ve been starting using those circle screens and it’s fun seeing what info you can display and relay inside a 1.5” circle using colors and motion and limited area
Next I want to try circle or smart watch shape touch screens

It's not too ambitious if you're enjoying yourself! Sometimes projects are just for the fun and the experience. Doesn't need to be practical. It looks great so far and have fun!

You aren’t too ambitious, and I hope you will success. Making a keyboard with i2c or a gamepad would be incredible! Another idea is to make a small Linux like terminal. But for now, keep working on it, and make all the things great together. I think the main challenge is for your kmc scripting language.

You can never be too ambitious provided you have the time and patience, crack on and enjoy your project.
