Sketch-Y-Etch is a retrospective etch-a-sketch-esque drawing expirience with a modern twist. The project is housed in a 43 inch TV, with the addition of 2 rotary encoders, 4 buttons and 1 switch. Use the switch to enter demo mode, where your propaganda can be displayed. Button features include: Save, penup / pendown, colour change, and erase. Rotary encoders are used to perform XY cordinate based drawing.

Built on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ using a Teensy 4.1 to gernated keyboard IO.

Here are some documentation resources I found helpful: Turtle Graphics API:

How to Autostart Programs in Raspberry Pi OS:

To simply have the program run on boot (on a Pi):

sudo apt install lxsession-default-apps

Unclutter was used to hide the mouse.

This project should work on any OS, using a keyboard, or sensor IO. Only tested on linux though. Good Luck!
