- The desk simulation is available now; the page estimates $734 for a bench kit and $1,470 for a full truck build.
Field notes
The proposed hardware separates computing, display, and accessory control across a Raspberry Pi, Android tablet, and ESP32 relay board. The page gives separate cost estimates for a bench setup and full installation, and says builders can explore the screens on a computer with a simulated truck before buying parts. Some physical components, including printed mounts and parts kits, are marked as coming soon.
