Could you build this?

No This is an embedded hardware firmware project requiring physical microcontrollers, display controllers, and hardware-constrained C++ programming.

What it would actually take: The stack uses C/C++ on ESP-IDF or Arduino frameworks targeting an ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) board. The difficult components include writing high-throughput SPI/DMA drivers for TFT LCD rendering, handling real-time MJPEG/AVI video streaming from an SD card within strict RAM limits, and maintaining a concurrent Wi-Fi web server for OTA firmware updates. It requires physical hardware access, oscilloscopes/logic analyzers for hardware debugging, and embedded systems engineering skills.
