Ticket Information

  • ID: TICKET-047
  • Title: Hardware & Purchases
  • Type: Planning
  • Priority: Medium
  • Status: Done (Planning Complete)
  • Track: Project Setup
  • Milestone: Various
  • Created: 2024-01-XX

Description

Plan and purchase required hardware:

Must-have / likely:

  • 1-2 high-quality USB microphones or small array mic (living room/office)
  • Small always-on node (Pi/NUC/old SFF PC) if not reusing existing hardware
  • Storage (additional SSD/HDD for logs, transcripts, note archives)
  • Network gear (extra Ethernet runs or cheap PoE switch) if needed
  • Headset or dedicated mic for desk usage

Nice-to-have:

  • Dedicated low-power box for 1050 "family agent"
  • UPS for servers (4080/1050) to avoid abrupt shutdowns
  • Small tablet or wall-mounted screen for LAN dashboard

Acceptance Criteria

  • Hardware requirements documented (see docs/HARDWARE.md)
  • Purchase list created (MVP: $125-250, Full: $585-1270)
  • Must-have items acquired
    • Raspberry Pi 5 kit (purchased)
    • SSD storage (purchased)
    • USB microphone (purchased)
    • Speakers (purchased)
  • Hardware tested and integrated (ready for testing)
  • Nice-to-have items prioritized (UPS, storage, dashboard)

Technical Details

Hardware specifications:

  • Microphones: USB, array mic, or headset
  • Always-on node: Raspberry Pi 4+, NUC, or SFF PC
  • Storage: SSD for logs (500GB+), HDD for archives
  • Network: PoE switch if needed for mic nodes

Dependencies

None - can be done in parallel with software development.

  • docs/HARDWARE.md (to be created)

Notes

Some hardware can be acquired as needed. Microphones and always-on node are critical for MVP.
