Cyberdeck MK III

This is my most current version of my cyberdeck builds. It's under construction, but i can share my progress:

I wanted to have sth. portable, but powerful enough to connect to a server via SSH and do some administrative tasks.
I wanted to have as much communication potential as possible and i wanted to have something that's battery lasts for a long time:

Here comes MK III

At the moment It has:

  • a Adafruit SharpMemory Display
    • Best of both worlds of LCD and EInk
    • Fast refresh
    • Good readability
    • Low power consumption
  • A Blackberry Keyboard
    • I always loved Blackberry!
    • I think its the most compact but yet useable form-factor!
    • With Zitaotec's PCB its possible to connect it via USB!
  • A 4 Port USB-HUB
    • I needed this because Raspberry PI Zero 2W only has one "useable" Port
    • Used to connect two WIFI USB cards
    • Used to connect my Keyboard PCB
    • Used as an external USB port
  • A I2c GPS Board
    • Offering real GPS functinality
    • Has minimal form factor incl. antenna!
  • A Raspberry PI Zero 2W
    • The heart of the system
  • A Raspberry Pi Spy Cam
    • Mini camera to be able to fit it underneath the pi
    • offering full camera functionality via pi-ribbon connector!
  • A I2C vibration module
    • Giving haptic feedback to the handheld
    • Easy to control via python libs!
  • Two WIFI USB adapters
    • Connected to two external antenna sockets for better signal strength
    • One for 2.4Ghz and one for 5Ghz
    • Both capable of monitoring mode
    • (one to deauth and one to sniff maybe }:-> ...)
  • Adafruit Powerboost 1000C
    • for Charging and powering the pi

Description how to build and assemble follows when it progresses ;-)

What works so far?

  • Screen and Pi work great together
  • Powerboost is able to boot the system
  • Keyboard in isolation worked when connected via cable to the pi
  • 3D Printed case fits and is closeable now xD
