Raspberry Pad 5, You Can Easily Build An Awesome Cyber Deck With This! Hands-On

[@jan_harald]

hey, I have an idea about the "easy cyberdeck" setup! you could design it so that instead of a clamshell, you'd have a slide-on mechanism for attaching the keyboard, would also be really easy to do, you can do it with 2 layers, filing away till they make a hole between them, or with three layers, which go "solid backplate" "layer with holes for the posts to slide into" "another solid layer", the latter of which doesn't necessarily have to be full-size, it just needs to cover the holes, keeping the sticks/posts in, and then on the bottom part, you could use the same material that you just cut out of the middle layer, file it down a little so it moves a bit easier (especially from the top end which you'd be inserting, probably try to curve the corners), and the bottom end you can screw or glue into the base part, or be ALSO slide-in into the base part (preferably you'd have screws or velcro or something that keeps it stable there, though), that way you can disassemble it into a much smaller and less fragile state (e.g. you could feasibly put it in a bag, without risking breaking it due to something else pressing against it a little too much, etc, so you can take it outside of your home) make it into an actually portable setup, not merely a "you can hold it in your hand, at home" setup

BigTreeTech is well regarded in the 3D printing community for their controller boards so it’s nice to see they are designing new things like this.

[@lonestar1132]

Their main boards are so much better than Creality’s stock boards

[@JohnnyBananaTV]

One of the most important and first upgrades I tell anyone who gets into the hobby.

[@IRWPD]

That is super cool. Would love to see more projects done with this.

[@JustIn-sr1xe]

The gap is big enough that you could easily have a small battery or audio chip in there.

[@tuber2kh]

Being about the same price as a Lilliput 5 or 7 inch monitor, which I used on my last one, this would make a great way to do PiHole for the house, being able to see the status screen PiHole has... with less jumping through hoops to get the resolution to match the monitor.

[@Leaskh]

Really love this little keyboard...

[@Zippy3435]

Do you have a link for the keyboard? Would love this for when I use my gaming computer in my livingroom.

What's that Bluetooth mini keyboard?

[@anthonynorton666]

Using the smaller touch screen seems to be a convenient "remote" control for a larger display.

[@scotrick333]

What air mouse/keyboard is that??? Please link to it ETA Prime!

[@LoneWolf0648]

its nice to see a pi based tablet style board that doesnt have a super thick back or, like that one you reviewed a while back, a handle permanently sticking out the one side. i hope your cyberdeck doesnt come out thicker than it is tall, that tends to be a problem with a LOT of peoples builds.

[@Chuckapotamus]

I love seeing these videos of the cool Raspberry pi projects coming out, if only I could actually GET a CM4 :(

[@jamesbarkley3834]

I definitely needed to see this kid built thank you so much

[@oscarruorochmolinacansino5907]

Nice, give me an 8 or 10 inch screen and I would buy it in a heartbeat as my daily tablet/notebook replacement.

[@InSearchOfScience]

Anyone know what brand/model that mini wireless keyboard is? Been looking for one with big keys that is still small just like that.

[@scottw6831]

It's funny you posted this video - I was just on their site to check stock for an upgrade to my 3d printer and saw their Raspberry Pad 5 announcement

[@ShadowRune]

Really interesting we'll try to remember it next year when I might actually be able to get a cm4

[@ShadowBassMan]

We use similar Pies to this at work for our Humidity Monitors. Its great!

[@knoxvalleskey1636]

You know what I wan to see that noone else has done yet? A speedtest of an 8gb pi4b on 32bit Raspbian vs 64bitRaspbian. That's the one pi model that I would think has the best chance of improved speed due to significantly more Ram being able to be devoted to one process.

[@furiousgeorge77]

Does anyone have a link to the specific keyboard he's using?

[@LIYNSKIN]

Every netrunner should get one of these

Love it!!!! one day i'll make a tiny touch screen media player.... this is very inspirational :)

What Keyboard is this on that little unit? Surprised there is not a link for it in the description.

[@AngeleNormis]

this small keyboard, what model is it?

[@petergamma741]

We have read that Fedora supports the offical 7 inch Raspberri PI touch display, which is great, which eventually can solve the problems with a small touch screen described here. A review about this topic would be great.

[@XtremeKremaTor]

5" is too small but 8" hd screen would do. Keyboard wouldn't be so cramped too.

[@alerey4363]

and on a 8" you could fit a powerbank + ssd to get a really powerful 100% native diy Linux tablet killer!

hey, bud. long time fan. first time commenting. i was wondering what keyboard you have on that cyber deck. really digging it and have been trying to find something just like it for quite a while but haven't had any luck. if you wouldn't mind shooting me a link or a brand and model, it would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance!

[@ericcook5745]

Kind of while you're on the topic of it I've asked this question once before I didn't get a reply so hopefully this time someone can answer for me I'm at raspberry pi I tried to install an Android system on it from one of your last videos that you've talked about it in I got to work that part was great and everything only issue I had was regardless of what size I put into it it only gave me 16 gigs to work with and that's not counting the pre-installed stuff so no matter what I can only put so many apps on it so I was very very limited is there any way around that or do you know another version that lets me use a much space as I want? Cuz other than that the only solution I saw was to download the apps that I needed to use them but wouldn't result in me having to delete them as I went on so yeah if there's any way around this somebody please let me know or even better yet if it's another system or a link that works better also let me know or even best if you find another one yourself if you can make another video on it that would also be awesome

[@rorywalters1614]

A 7” version would be nice. Nobody is making 7” tablets with powerful specs, a Raspberry pi 4 powered one can beat all 7” tabs on the market.

[@Bajicoy]

I dunno how powerful a pi4 could be compared to a 4800U or 1165G7 behind a 7 inch screen but it would be great to see more 7 inch hand helds. What I did was took a NUC size mini PC, added a 7 inch screen and some batteries and it is holding together pretty well. There are quite a few sbc out there that can do the same.

[@pedr0_m198]

what keyboard are you using in this video?

[@FoxyAnimater]

This gives me an idea. I could use this as a base for a raspberry Pi powered DS clone.

[@TheOleHermit]

This is exactly what I wanted for a laser control desk, but I purchased Nextion, instead, Then upgraded their HMI from 5" to 7". Already have a 7" RPi touchscreen, but looking for a slim carrier board w/NVMe + GPIOs for my CM4. Whenever I need something, so do others. Eventually, it's available online. Gotta love it!

[@u9vata]

I prefer a pinephone with a keyboard(I have that combo and use it for developing while walking), but this is also an awsome product! What is the battery life?

[@marcus_cole_2]

ETA Prime: is there any way of configuring the board itself or the board with a raspberry Pi to act like a nexdock.. either via USB-C or HDMI or preferably wireless... I would love to throw this into my mini Tech bag which is only 4x7" so I can show off the desktop ability of my phone or have it so that it's a cheaper product than $1000-2000 high-end smartphone out in the open

[@garythesquidsquid7779]

So im super curious about these diy cyber deck things, but what can they be used for exactly? What are some things you guys have done with them? Besides games and videos i mean

[@J0ermungand]

Nice. I feel like you don't really need any standoffs? It kinda looks like the screw posts already are the same height as all the connectors, so maybe adding some washers is all it takes for the most compact version of this. Also with bending the material you could make a "unibody" design that covers the sides as well as integrate that keyboard arm in one single piece (and add cutouts to the right spots for the connectors). If furthermore you add a bulge into the base between monitor and keyboard (by bending the material around say a wooden dowel of sufficient diameter) you can make that into a tubular battery holder for a bunch of 18650 cells. Probably won't give you the most capacity, but would give you the most compactness.

[@fetchstixRHD]

Thought that but the Ethernet port 3:43 seems to bulge out a bit too much to let you get away without the standoffs? Could cut around it though I guess!

[@J0ermungand]

@@fetchstixRHD Oh you're right and I would choose the same solution: cut around it. If one is lucky it would even be flush with the back panel then.

[@csolisr]

Looks very competitive for the price! $120 USD for this, plus a CM4 for about $90, plus a cheap battery stuffed in the USB-in port, and this thing can make a competent tablet for under the price of a Switch

[@csolisr]

Don't forget to buy a cheap clip-on soundbar

[@chromerims]

Your channel 👍 is positively amazing. Thank you.

[@mitcoes]

If almond improves, it would be a great competition for Alexa devices. I would add a video camera with mic and some micro speaker to make it a home internet phone, "video calling machine" with linphone (or Jitsi or WA or zoom). Now that everybody learned, and that will be cheaper and much better than landlines.
