I'm no beginner to software, but when it comes to hardware I am mostly an outsider. I enjoy leveraging Pi 4B for various projects, but I have wanted to take on a larger project more recently. I want to make a USB/MIDI controller of various potentiometers, slide pots, buttons, etc. and connect the controller to a raspberry pi with an LCD screen running software that reads the USB/MIDI arduino controller.
My questions are:
1. Can a single Raspberry Pi 4B be capable of running Pi OS on a 7"+ LCD, outputting sound via RCA or 3.5mm output, and simultaneously also read digital/analogue ins from knobs, faders, buttons, and switches and convert them to USB MIDI for software on Pi OS to interpret or would I be better off using an Arduino in addition to the Pi as the usb midi controller handling the inputs
2. How can a Raspberry Pi 4B output sound via stereo RCA and 3.5mm simultaneously? How would I leverage a DAC breakout while still being able to use the 4-pole 3.5mm audio jack already on the pi?
3. In the case that I have both an arduino & raspberru pi 4b, what type of power supply situation would be needed to both power the Pi + LCD and the Arduino? Can I power it from a single power cable?
Apologies if a lot of these questions are naive, I am simply interested in taking on a larger hardware project, but most of my tacit knowledge really exists in software so I'm looking for help, thanks! :)
