Did I choose the right components for my project?

[ShadyDowns]

Hi, I need some advice on the right choice of all the components for my project. I have a 3D printer at home on which I want to print a design for such a universal engineering harness. Inspired by the game from the "Fallout" series, in which the player wears a pacifier named "Pip-Boy". In this post-apocalyptic genre game, this device is fully analog due to its high resistance to the electromagnetic pulse of an atomic bomb explosion, adverse climatic conditions, including radioactive fallout or also due to resistance to rough handling.
The device should have an analog operating interface with a small monitor and the simplest possible graphic interface, also an analog radio and the ability to use a mobile GSM band, WI-FI, Bluetooth, GPS, compass, gyrocompass, Geiger counter, temperature and other sensors (the more the better =D), speaker and microphone, USB inputs and outputs, flashlight, primary power supply from rechargeable batteries and back-up power supply from a magazine for AA batteries and a second magazine for AAA batteries. An advantage would also be a simple wire that could be attached anywhere and to any contact through which a weak current passes, but for the time being I have not come up with any reasonable solution that could be used to universally regulate any voltage in a low range without having to pull on my hands ""ten kilo coil"". =D A heart rate and blood pressure sensor would also be an absolute gem. In addition, I have a device designed to be waterproof to a great depth, in short, such a helper for discomfort, but also a tool for electrical engineering operations of all kinds from A to Z, or even a helper in theoretical and experimental research of unexplained phenomena in nature and in the laboratory.

I design my equipment in 3D Design (Autodesk Fusion-360). The design is completely different from what is shown in the game "Fallout", because the design created by "Bethesda" for the game "Fallout" is completely without sophisticated features. The capabilities of the device that I describe above will certainly fit into this power supply, but I would like to know the opinion of the Arduino community if I have chosen the right components. When choosing, emphasis should be placed primarily on analog properties, preferably if everything is analog. My design solution guarantees high resistance in addition to magnetic field and electromagnetic interference, which I hope should be solved at least in part by analog components, so I mainly focus on the sensor interface and close connectivity with the components.

I chose these components:
Board

• MKR GSM 1400

Shields

• MKR MEM
• MKR ENV
• MKR GPS
• MKR RGB
• MKR 485
• MKR IMU

So the questions are:

1. Is this combination of components satisfactory?
2. Will it be enough to connect other devices, (Geiger counter, walkie-talkie, monitor, heart rate sensor, etc...)? And would it be possible at all, or will I have to adapt these devices to work independently without connecting to the interface?
3. What is your opinion on it, or rather what components would you choose in my place? =)

I wish everyone a nice rest of the day, and may all the other days be nice too, forever. =D

What you have in mind is an extremely complex device, and it is utterly impossible for forum members to guess how many Arduino control pins or how much code you will need for all those peripherals. Although is it already clear that an Arduino Uno is way too small.

Start small, and get one component working at a time. Then start combining them.

I do not have a clue if you picked the correct parts. It appears you have a solution looking for a problem. A large portion of your project will be code and its effectiveness. Many times I have seen many lines of code performing a function that can be done with one statement. The code will ultimately determine the minimum size of the memory. The biggest impact on this is your coding skills, if you use the delay() function then you will need more coding practice. The first thing you need to do to get started is to draw a concept schematic showing all of the hardware parts. From this you can determine how many and what type of I/O you will need. You can use expanders to save pins. After this write a program to control each of the hardware devices and the interaction with each other. Then pick a microprocessor that will support all of the functions with I/O etc in the required timeframe.

Okay, now you've caught me by surprise. =D I started actively working on the project only four days ago, but it was a piece of cake to put together a concept or what is roughly needed. You know, I don't want it to sound arrogant, but four days ago I saw how Raspberry works for the first time in my life, and I learned about Arduino two days ago. =D

@ShadyDowns

I learned about Arduino two days ago.

I wonder what your code looks like???

[ShadyDowns]

I know what schematics are.

I use Autodesk Eagle 3D PCB for the build, where I can simulate if everything is ok,,,and, I don't want to spend two months on it...

[ShadyDowns]

My major is astrophysics, so imagine.

[outbackhut]

Is that supposed to be a schematic?

@ShadyDowns

I don't want to spend two months on it...

Expect to. Simpler projects than that can take longer than that if complications arrive... Or you have to wait for shipping.

[ShadyDowns]

I know this very well, I have been working on one project for the last five tiring years and only recently I managed to fine-tune everything.. However, what I did here is at a much higher level than this lego kit. So I have to add that it's a very attractive lego kit.

[outbackhut]

Huh? A lego kit took five years?? You should give up on Arduino then!

@ShadyDowns

it was a piece of cake to put together a concept or what is roughly needed.

Great! Keep us informed of your progress.

[gilshultz]

Great you can draw one making it easier on us old folks. I was designing chips before you were in diapers. Great I studied astrophysics, about 50 years ago which means nothing on this forum. Since you learned Arduino so fast why are you doubting your design?

[ShadyDowns]

That's because I never let past experiences pass. Genius is one thing, practice is another. And brilliant ideas always come from the experiences left here by those before us.

[ShadyDowns]

Yes, it is the beginning of a 3D scheme. Since the components need to take up as little space as possible, I have to assemble them in 3D first. Then I lay them out in a 2D diagram and create their correct connection in the 2D diagram.
