Sounds like a nice project, you can also use AI to learn the codes and wiring faster, but be creative and original with your implementation, in today's world, from small companies to big ones, not many people do the old style coding, when the calculator invented people stopped using abacus! AI won't reolace us, first it was drawing on stones then came abacus and then computers and now AI.
Just improve your coding knowledge and be creative, AI is your friend.
