Hey y'all, just an experiment, if it works out I'll clean it up and run it

This is mocked up with mdf. The real deal will be made of black and white sheet HDPE sheet stock, maybe some lexan here and there...

Raspberry Pi 4 8GB (in cast aluminum armor/heatsink), Redragon 60% mechanical keyboard, corsair optical mouse, bcm and 30000mAh staged battery capacity (works out to around 8 or nine hours), and a 7" touch hdmi screen that is not connected or visible in the frame.

Of course, it will not only run off mains, it will do so simultaneously with recharging.

Firmware is updated to boot from any suitably configured USB device, and currently outfitted with raspberrypiOS+home dir each on it's own 32GB PNY USB thumb drive.

no nonsense unpowered usb3 hub.

It's gettin' there :)

Up next: cellular data capability.

Oh I also have solar capability for recharging in the rough.

Hey @sparseMatrix, have you found any active lemmy cyberdeck communities?

This is the only community I could find.
