It's an 8.8 inch bar display. I originally got it for cpu usage monitor but they are perfect for cyber decks
These screens look cool but be honest what its like reading from one of these?
That is very cool! I love the way it looks hacked together but still clean. Definitely has a retro future vibe right out of a cyberpunk world. Well done!
It basically was hacked together from spare parts, built it in a few hours with things I have sitting around
Cleanest build I’ve seen. What’s the total cost? In comparison, I bought an asus l203m from Amazon last year for programming and other stuff. It has an ok screen, fanless, 10 hour battery life using Linux and works fine. It cost $200.
I honestly didn't pay anything to build it, I already had everything just sitting around lol. The base is a keyboard case that I dont use, I looked at it yesterday and realized I could make a deck out if it. All the components tho maybe $245. Could be cheaper but raspberry pis are so expensive nowadays
Fuck that's slick. What's the plastic case on top of the keyboard? Keyboard wires?
Hey do you know how to get a raspberry pi? I wanted to get one to learn doing stuff like that but every website i went through were out of stock or cost like 150 dollars.
I usually use Amazon but yeah prices are insane right now. I think there are some all in one kits on Amazon that are under 100
How are the viewing angles off to the side? I've thought about using one of these in portrait mode for writing code but not sure if it would still look clear or go fuzzy.
This is amazing. Can we have some more photos and details? Maybe a tutorial?
If I'd have to make do with a small computer, I might go for one like this. Assuming, that is, there are characters on the keys.
Hey there u/parabolize! I was recently inspired by r/cyberdeck to make one myself. I actually ended up getting the same screen as you, but when I connect it to my Pi 3 I get a black screen with a square and an 'H' in the lower right corner. Did you encounter that during set up? If so how did you get it to actually display properly?
I had to plug In another screen into pi 4 and set xrandr settings for this display from there. I use as music visualizer and cpu display normally on pc rig. I had this deck for a day as I already had every component but no practical use for it. Everything is back to normal usage lol
I know this is an old post but on the off chance you read this can you tell me what the frame is/ how it was made that the keyboard and pi sits in
I suspected as much... Well, as much as it must be a keyboard case of some kind, my current build is a larger version of yours; however, with larger keyboards, it's hard to find a frame that will fit an 85% and a pi next to it
Seriously, I'm jealous of this type of deck. It taps into my cyberpunk-80s-90s curiosities. I, however, went the route of a graphic artist/production artist, but I'd still LOVE to have something of this kind of form factor to portably whip up designs and build mechanicals. Closest I'd get would be an iPad with one of the newer keyboards. Not as cool as this, though.
Make a raspberry pi 400 one :0 and make it as xheap as possible so we cam copy lol
