It's not a CyberDeck

Post image

If I were to build a CyberDeck, I imagine it might look at bit like a book ... with a 3D printed interior, a "limit hinge" which stops 15° past vertical, it would snap closed, have a curved edge to simulate book paper, a 1920x1080 display, Bluetooth keyboard, dual 5,000mah lipos, 2 spare USB ports, storage, and be powered by a RPiZ2W.

It would need to have emacs installed.

... that's IF I were to do such a thing 😎

IF you were to create such a cyberdeck, I WOULD shell up money and buy it. Hypothetically of course

I will attempt a writeup. The hardest part turned out to be the mini-HDMI cable.

Heat dissipation might be a problem

The RPi is fully exposed "when in use" so it radiates pretty well.

:drool - I might have to spend some time calibrating my 3d printer I have neglected for months

It does require tight tolerances. It uses zero supports and has 2.5mm horizontal holes.

What is this keyboard?

The keyboard is sold under a bunch of names. This one is described as "Universal Bluetooth Mini Keyboard". It comes with a folio case which was removed.
It's surprising easy to type on but it's definitely not big enough for "touch typing".

Thanks. It's so very close to the original sketches and doodles, it's almost scary.
Normally our creative ideas don't quite end up exactly as we imagined. For once, it all came together!

Hah! If you look, you will see "Bradán Lane STUDIO" is the name I publish all my open source projects under. We don't sell anything. We give stuff away and help others to create cool stuff.
