The Framedeck is a DIY cyberdeck powered by a Framework Mainboard

Image
  Folks in the  Cyberdeck community have been taking advantage of modern-day tech to build retro-futuristic  portable computers for the past few years by taking advantage of advances in 3D printing, the ability to source electronic components from around the world, and the availability of versatile single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi line of devices. The new  Framedeck  is a little different, because it’s one of the first that’s powered by a  Framework Mainboard . That means this modern-day Cyberdeck has the guts of a decent 2021-eara laptop computer. Framework makes a  modular laptop that lets users swap out any of the device’s 4 ports to add a different port, additional storage, or other functionality. The company also recently began selling laptop mainboards which customers can use to upgrade or replace the mainboard and processor in an existing Framework Laptop or use as a standalone computer… or the foundation for a DIY system like th...

HandiPi is a DIY handheld PC with keyboard, display, and Raspberry Pi 4

  The same hardware hacker who built a a  CyberDeck using the mainboard from a Framework Laptop a few months ago is back with a new project, and this time it’s smaller (and less powerful). The HandiPi is a handheld computer featuring a 4.3 inch touchscreen display, a keyboard with 36 keys, and a Raspberry Pi 4 computer squeezed together with a 5,000 mAh battery and housed in a 3D printed case. It’s a DIY project: you can’t buy your own kit, but you can find a parts list and design files at the project’s GitHub page . With a keyboard, touchscreen, and battery, you can use the HandiPi to run Linux software on the go. Developer Brickbots says the device gets about 4 hours of battery life before it needs to be recharged. The custom keyboard uses Diptronit DTS63K tactile switches with 1mm actuation force and uses QMK open source firmware, allowing the layout to be customized. Brickbots did remove some ports to make the Raspbery Pi thinner, so there’s no Ethernet port and only a si...
