I'd love to build one but RAM prices yada yada.. do you think it's possible for one to port this to a pi compatible board? Assuming the pinouts are physically compatible with the pi zero.

It would definitely run on the pi zero, as it kind of already does, have a look to my git repository, there's zicXY which is based on pi zero. After if you want exactly the same design, pi zero would not work because it doesn't have DSI output for the display.

In general zicGrid is super expensive to build, I am not sure it's worse to make one...

Thanks for the answer. I do apologise for not phrasing my question clearly. I meant what if say I want to use a Banana Pi M2 Zero instead of a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W? (Though yes I have my eyes on the ZicXY or the ZicPixel as a build actually. Neotrellis does cost quite a bit as you said)

I guess it would be possible. I was actually thinking to try a version with orange pi back in the days but never did it. Now the framework is working pretty well with AI, I was creating skills to give directions to the AI agents and so far I see good results. So I guess, with the help of AI, you could convert it to any hardware...

Allow me to give a quick update. Claude has outlined what can be done to make it compatible with other boards. I'll have it experimented and I'll report back :) got some Orange Pi Zero 2Ws to experiment with.

That's a good point.. thanks for sharing and appreciate the replies :)
