Make your own Borderlands Echo Device using this awesome project from eclecticboo on instructables as inspiration!

So I was in a game store one day and saw this Borderlands prop in the clearance section for $20 and couldn’t resist buying it. After about a week I thought to myself “I could totally gut it and cram a pi inside”. That’s when my adventure began to make a real life Borderlands Echo Device.

I went out and got an Adafruit display and started prototyping. I ended up getting the 3.2” display so it was easier to see and use with a stylus/finger.
