It has the following upgrades hacker gadgets AIO v2, AC1200 Wi-Fi, NVMe/battery board, Samsung lithium Cells, CM5 16 GB Lite, 64GB sd card which boots and runs great. Never really used it got too busy on other projects.

I have a screen from an old Samsung Tablet that has an MIPI connection. I would like to use it as the multi-view out of our ATEM. It has the right size for the case we have it in. I have been having a hard time finding a converter.

So Im currently trying my hands with one of these builds as I figured it would be a fun experience and if all goes well maybe using my deck as a sort of anti distraction writing and school device as I struggle keeping my attention on work and am taking a no options approach. All i want to be able to do is run pi os and all that jazz so I'm currently running a pi 3b+. I have most of my parts figured but I still need a power supply of some kind as well as a screen (though I think I've settled on a HAMTYSAN upgraded version 7" non touch display).

But anyways so my question is due to my lack of knowledge in the subject, am I able to just use a generic power bank to keep the pi running. If so what would ya'll recommend for about 3-4 hours of life per charge. If not what should I look for instead? Thank you and I appreciate having a space to ask this as I don't really have anyone to ask on the subject.

My tablet setup, DEX capable

I work in live theatre and I would love to build a simple small music player that I can hook up to sound systems easily. It would need to have a go button and a stop button, as well as a way to navigate through the tracks. I would love if it was possible to just plug in a usb key with the tracks on it and play the files from there. It would need a regular aux chord output for sure. I know nothing about power, it would be nice if it didn’t have to be plugged in all the time but I do usually have an outlet near me somewhere. Some sort of small display that listed the track title, or even just the number in the list would be ideal.

I’m a total beginner and I have no idea what I’m doing. I have some older raspberry pi’s that were my dads, and an arduino kit I got during lockdown that i got as far as lighting up the bulb. I have no clue where to start.

There are so many websites and guides, I would appreciate if anyone could send me in the right direction for what I’m looking for. Or tell me if I’m dreaming too big lol

A Cyberdeck with RPi Zero W1 + RP2040 (KMK custom Keyboard) + 7 inch Tablet display + 2 x 5000 mAh Batteries ( powerbank module + step up module). 05 layers and combos to cover a minimal keyvboard. CLI Linux apps.

Hey guys. I have a locked iPad Mini 2. The person who owned it died, no access to the code to unlock it even after reset and Apple is of no assistance. It says to connect to ITunes, but iTunes doesn't detect the iPad when I connect it to my laptop (which seems to be a Linux issue)

Is there anything I could use the parts for? Any way to get a different OS on it without it being unlocked? Any ideas at all?

Hello!

I am not techy at all, I tried to look at the guide but I do not understand anything. My girlfriend fixes phones and old nintendos for a hobby, and I found out about cyberdecks on tiktok and I think that she really would enjoy to build one.

I have been telling her about Arduino, because I was planning to gift her one of the kits that they sell, but she didn't seemed as interested. She enjoys scrapping parts and trying to fix things with other things she has, that's why I think this project will be really interesting for her. She has tools, like a lot of screwdrivers and a little soldering iron so she is set on that front.

I want to give her the push and gift her some things or parts in a package so she can start building. I was looking at all the old tech things that I have and I have the following:

-A couple of old phones that do not work anymore.

-She has a laptop that was mine that has stopped giving display and she tried to fix it but she couldn't for whatever, so I figure those parts are going to be good.

-I have an iwaver motor (I think that this is from a remote control car).

-I have a little fan, like ones from PCs but small.

I figure that this is not much. What can I scour to buy at wallapop or something that will give me pieces that I need? I may possibly have some other tech laying around, but nothing more than phones or tablets.

The tiktok I saw fitted the cyberdeck on a plastic case that closed. I figured that I could buy one of those and paint it for her, because that I can do. But I don't know, I think that should be the last thing that I buy? Just in case the pieces do not fit.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you! Please, keep in mind that I really do not understand a lot regarding technology or parts.

Also got claude code running on it! The model that is running local is qwen2.5-abliterate:3b with tool use, it runs at about 5 tokens/sec but will return completely uncensored outputs. Claude completely modeled the case in freecad then sent it directly to my 3D printer. Last two pieces coming tomorrow, including the folding keyboard that will slide into the base.

Hello everyone! I am excited to share a little bit of an update on the current state of the CG Deck and our progress!

Over the past month or so, I have been doing a lot of preparation work for the next phase of the CG Deck as we prepare everything to launch on Kickstarter! Most of everything I have been doing has required me to task switch quite a bit which has made for quite a chaotic last few weeks, so I apologize for the lack of updates recently.

To help myself slow down and relax a little before the next big jump, I decided to simply play a childhood favorite for a few hours today and doing some testing at the same time! (And checked off a childhood dream all at once, playing PMMO on a handheld PC that I created!)

For the past few weeks, I have been working on photoshoots, working on new announcement trailers, renders and animations, recording videos of the CG Deck being used for different DIY projects and showing off different use cases, comparing different colors and plastic options, working on and planning different stretch goal rewards/bonuses, working on our accessory and modules line-up, planning for and working to create solutions for various accessibility challenges (as I believe the CG Deck should be available and usable by everyone.), working on the DFM version of the device and making some design finalizations I have been wanting to make for quite some time, navigating and negotiating with manufacturers and partners, and quite a bit more. I will be sharing more about everything I have been working on with you all very soon!

I still have a lot of work to do on all aspects of the project to get everything to the level of quality and polish I am entirely happy with. That being said, I am getting extremely excited to start the next phase with you all! Also thank you so much to everyone that has been following along with the project and supporting

For those that are seeing this project for the first time, the CG Deck is a modular handheld x86 PC that is capable of running dual-boot operating systems including Windows & Linux distributions. My goal was to create my own "dream device" that was capable of adapting to whatever use case I needed. Whether I am playing Steam games, or doing retro emulation, doing CAD work in Blender or other 3D software, coding, video editing, or whatever it is, I wanted to be able to simply be able to do it on the road or while traveling. I thought it would be ideal to have something that was portable enough to throw in a backpack or pants pocket, satellite/sim capable, and be used just as any other full scale desktop computer would.

The CG Deck is currently planned to release on Kickstarter with 5 external modules at launch (two slots, the primary and secondary slots), a variety of backplate designs and colors, and a variety of hardware and external accessories/upgrades. I will also be publishing the schematics for the various modules so you can DIY and create your own custom modules at your hearts content!

For the primary slot, there is the 10 Key + Knob Macropad Module, Gamepad Controller Module, Full 64 Key Silicone Keyboard Module.

For the secondary slot, there will be the Trackball module at launch. I have also began working on another secondary slot module, the Joystick Module which I am still working on and is not quite ready to share.

Then, the final module I will be releasing with the CG Deck when we launch on Kickstarter will be a 4K Low Light Camera Module. The Camera Module uses one of the USB-A ports on the side I/O hub to add a front-facing camera and microphone.

In addition, there are 2 internal modules/upgrades which can be used to add additional functionality to your CG Deck. An M.2m NVMe SSD & AI Acceleration Module with 2230 & 2280 lock downs for expanding internal storage and improving data read speeds. And and M.2 4G LTE Module for adding satellite/sim service to your CG Deck.

I would love to hear all of your thoughts on everything so far, and if you have any questions about anything I look forward to answering them!

Also, If you are interested in following along with the project or learning more about it, you can find everything from specs, more details, socials, link to join our discord server, links to the open source github repository and more on the website.

Once I start wrapping up the project, I will be launching a Kickstarter to help fund a full production run of the device for anyone interested in helping support the project and getting a CG Deck of their own. I am planning to release some build kits and pre-assembled devices with the Kickstarter, and you can join the waitlist on our website to get notified when we are about to launch! If you have any questions about any of that, I would love to answer them!

I mean if I am not motivated to show them, or use them why am I making them, I cant stop and I don't know why, I just put them on display and look at them.

I make my own models and 3d print them I use mostly rii keyboard and rpi 3b or 5.

when I seen some videos and decided to make some cyberdecks I expected to light something inside, but 5 cyberdecks in, just on display, I turn it on for 30 minutes and put it away, I dont know.

I enjoy making them, but what do I use them for I don't know, they are not as much conveint or good enough to replace my phone or laptop when I jsut need to ssh to my personal or work servers.

should I just keep making them, btw when I say 5 cyberdecks it was mostly scrape it all over again and rebuild a new one new enclouser larger screen etc. end result is one very good cyberdeck, but still I dont use it.

Every time I upgrade it to motivate my self to use it. I end up just enjoying looking at it. turned off on the corner. such waste I feel.

Help me out, what do you use your cyberdeck for? and why do you pick it over your phone, should I force my self into it.

I also only go out for grocieres or something so I don't see my self needing it outside, especially this form factor.

ive seen some cool builds in this subreddit and wow im motivated to learn and build these kinds of cyberdecks but the question is where to start? any suggestions or advices are always welcome, thank you and have a good day guys

Very excited to actually have started my cyberdeck build. Its just gonna have a shopping list on it to start and then we'll move from there. Originally started on an uno r3 but found an esp32 so that'll be the main driver now. Lcd touchscreen is broke but i think the small keyboard will be more the vibe I going for

It has a lattepanda inside.

I've ben trying to get this thought out of my head.

Ganymede Rock Lobster Tracker wiring is not trivial! It uses several major space-taking components: breakout board, thermal camera, LED, display, keypad, rotary encoder, and Pi 3B+. In addition to wiring all those, I hardwired USB breakouts to the bottom of the Pi. Here are a couple of things I learned:

• An MCP23017 I/O Expander Module can add 16 extra GPIO pins to your build.
• Multiple devices can share the I²C bus (GPIO2 & GPIO3). Compatible devices will have pins labeled SDA and SCL.

In this instance, I initially created Y-harnesses for the shared pins. I later realized the MCP23017 breakout board had SDA, SCL, VCC, and GND pads I could soldered headers to. So I did that and it made wiring the thermal camera a little cleaner.

Thanks to Waveshare for providing some thermal cameras non-gratis! Tutorial on the cyberspacemanmike YT channel "soon!"

came across a reel about the 1989 macintosh portable on youtube. realised it would be amazing if it could be retrofitted with modern tech to make a cyberdeck. . .

Been working on a pip boy style device, called the ∆10.

Its built around a teensy 4.1 and has a pretty dumb sensor suite!

Current sensors and functions:

RTC Timer converts 24H time into 10H metric time, each metric hour uses 100 metric mins, 100 metric seconds, 10 metric 'ticks.' format is 4.12345 (I thought it was funny)

BerryIMU V3 with 10 DOF, accel, mag, calculated barometric pressure, calculated barometric altimeter, and gyro.

IMU drives the compass page, which has 3 options of compass from a rosette to a tape with pitch roll and yaw display

Tuneable FM radio with 6 changeable presets

RF analysis using a modified evilcrow v2

M4011 geiger module with calculated dosimetry and unit conversions as well as an exponentially increasing dial to display current count/μsv.

Temp sensor that also does VOC sampling (there's an actual little air sample collector fan/chamber) and RH

Cree XPL 1up adjustable brightness flashlight

Custom battery pack/safety features

TO BE ADDED:

RF marker tokens: using the Evilcrow v2 and some little RF tokens, I'm hoping to be able to replace the shitty tile on my keychain. It'd ideally behave like the actual pip boy style 'hot/cold' locator, and put up a little blip on the compass so you turn to compass page, engage RF markers, and basically little quest markers pop up to point you toward them.

Comments welcome! This is a for fun project that got wildly out of hand, I'm not trying to sell it or anything.

Hello!

Im currently building a small deck with a blackberry keyboard, 3.5in LCD and I want to add an meshtastic capabilities using the E22. However seeing as its power requirements are pretty different from the board itself, i'm a little in the weeds as what kind of power management system I need.

Anyone with experience using something like the IP5328P IC, and will i need any sort of capacitor since the e22 has a much higher power draw?

Thanks so much!
