Custom Skylanders Portal Development

What I need: I want a custom-built, fully working physical Skylanders portal that I can place real figures and traps on, that works with the Cemu emulator on my Windows PC. It must be detected by my computer as a genuine Skylanders portal (USB Vendor ID 0x1430, Product ID 0x0150) so the game treats it as real hardware. I am not interested in software-only emulation — I want real hardware with real, placeable figures. This is a recreation of the Skylanders: Trap Team "Traptanium" portal. It's a known, documented build (Raspberry Pi Pico + NFC reader + open-source firmware), so this is execution work, not research from scratch — I'll provide a detailed technical reference doc with the exact firmware repos, wiring, and USB protocol once we connect. The finished portal must include, like the original: An open surface to place multiple figures at once A separate trap slot Color (RGB) LEDs lighting the portal area A dedicated LED for the trap slot A working speaker for in-game audio A housing that can be opened to access the internal components for future repairs or upgrades (e.g., screwed or otherwise removable panel — not glued or permanently sealed shut) Suggested approach (you're welcome to propose better): Raspberry Pi Pico running TinyUSB-based portal firmware (e.g., the open-source PicoWPortal project), an MFRC522 reader for the main figure area, a second NFC reader for the trap slot, addressable RGB LEDs, a white trap-slot LED, and a small speaker + amp — all in a custom 3D-printed/fabricated housing. Deliverables: A working, assembled portal in a custom housing with all five features above functioning in-game. Proof it works — a short video showing a real figure and a trap being placed and recognized in Trap Team running in Cemu on Windows, plus the LEDs and speaker responding. A brief written note of the firmware/version used and how to re-flash it, so I can maintain it myself. What I'll provide: My real Skylanders figures/traps for testing (or I can dump and send the data — your call). My broken original portal as a layout/feel reference (photos or shipped). A detailed technical reference document (firmware, wiring, protocol, part numbers). Two things to be aware of before you bid (please address these in your proposal): The trap slot (second reader) and the speaker (USB audio passthrough) may require extending the firmware beyond a stock flash. Tell me whether you'll use existing firmware that supports these or whether you'll be writing/extending code, and price accordingly. The multi-figure read area needs a larger or custom-tuned 13.56 MHz antenna (a stock MFRC522 antenna only reads one small spot). Tell me how you'll handle reliable reads across the surface. Logistics: Tell me if you work remotely (I ship parts/figures) or are local to South Florida (Homestead/Miami). Please quote parts cost, labor, and turnaround separately. MILESTONES: Design sign-off — parts list, wiring plan, housing concept, and confirmation of trap-slot + audio approach. (small upfront %) Working electronics (no housing) — Pico enumerates as 1430:0150, main reader + trap reader recognized in Cemu, LEDs and speaker responding on the bench. (largest %) Final assembly + housing — everything integrated in the custom enclosure, acceptance test passed, proof video + re-flash notes delivered. (final %) Acceptance criteria With Trap Team running in Cemu on Windows: a real figure on the main surface appears in-game; a trap in the trap slot is recognized; portal RGB LEDs respond to in-game color/fades; the trap-slot LED lights when expected; the speaker produces in-game audio. Proof captured on video. I have conducted research and sourced the firmware and software needed. Just need someone to source and assemble the hardware.
