I Turned The New LattePanda 3 Delta Into A Rugged Cyberdeck

[@ArnBML]

For me it's the best overall cyberdeck project. Accessible and clean result. Perfs are also really good !

[@MiroslavObrtel]

Great project. ♥ That must have been a lot of fun. I would add a battery and enlarge the display, but even so, this case looks great and has a lot of potential.

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you

[@metro-v8]

@@MichaelKlements yo put mesh over that fan or its gonna get really messy really soon

[@gaston-alegre-stotzer]

This is awesome. The only thing I can think of of adding is a battery pack or a space to tuck the power adapter. Thanks for a great idea.

[@MichaelKlements]

An onboard battery would have been great. I'm thinking of looking at whether I could integrate the 12V UPS I used recently for my bluetooth speaker - I probably need to test how long it would run for first.

[@noobieza0077]

This is look dope man!!!

[@jasonprivately1764]

Perhaps the additional use of a long term battery and a roll out solar panel for charging for truly portable use. You could even make this a great mobile sdr type deck. Even single use battery packs could be used for standby power. Usage for remote weather systems, radio telemetry or even low cost repeater stations. This is a very nice setup. Though for repair purposes I would have glued standoffs or supports so that the screen bezel could be removed

[@corvusaflame713]

Looks great. Glad your little build worked out so beautifully.

[@scarecrow5848]

I think you could have used a bit bigger of a screen. apart from that, cool! kinda reminds me of a early DS where there was only 1 screen, being the flip-out one.

[@RenaudAnimations]

the gameboy advance-SP ?

[@xondee6387]

I was gonna add a comment about how this reminds me of a d's but the top comment is this lol.

[@haydenc2742]

I wonder if the 10.1" could fit in there

[@TheRojecas]

Great, you gave ideas to back lo life a broken laptop, that have enough compute power to be still used, but stetically is to damaged. Thanks four sharing, I enjoy your videos a lot, greetings from Colombia.

[@FR4M3Sharma]

I only see two downsides to this : 1. The use of Hot Glue really ruins the look for me, if you could somehow make them stick via some strong small sized magnets on the inside then it really would've been good. Plus it would be easier to take apart if needed. 2. Is the screen size, it seems like a 10" screen would easily fit in there.

[@awli8861]

same

[@minimalistinlife]

A bigger screen there is room and I want it Battery powered so it is fully portable. Also Why is no SSD installed if there is possibility. Hot glue is not my cup of tea but the idea was great.

[@LinusE]

@@minimalistinlife you could get an external battery to plug in, could also get some portable solar panels to charge the battery pack and you'll be very mobile

[@thesunexpress]

This is a datalogger's dream machine!!!

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Pretty much perfect. The only thing I would change is either a larger screen or speakers on the side of the screen.

[@r.Ry4N.05]

This is looking great. Although the screen is too small. Could've added stereo speakers beside the screen.

[@DatBoiOrly]

bruh missed opportunity of making it portable by adding batteries to it via the 12v plug, and personally it would look way better if you used a bigger touch screen & it'll be much more practical

[@little-wytch]

Very nice. I'd like to make something similar using the newer Sigma and a bigger Pelican Case. The bigger case would be so I can put in some additional utilies like a hakRF One for SDR, a WiFi Pineapple, some battery packs, and a charge controller so I can set up a rugged solar panel on the top of the case.

[@nyet_maker7948]

This is not only one of the cleanest i have seen, but probably obe of the most useful ones out there. Love the keyboard! I would have loved a powerbank as "go between" that also gives you a bit of a reserve for on the go (and fits the cyberdeck aesthetic of beeing less dependent, having to deal with unstable electricity, and so on). Maybe an add. an aux and antenna port and the thing would not miss anything 😅

[@legend_6483]

Fantastic board and amazing build 👏

[@SkysTrains]

Nice. That would be a good mini PC for my grandparents.

[@leilahsyed2157]

Neat execution on the idea. I've had a look at some other reviews of the LP3D and it seems like the real downside in terms of performance is using single channel RAM instead of dual channel, it uses a Celeron processor after all.

[@MichaelKlements]

Yeah I probably wouldn't be buying this sort of board for it's performance - processor or RAM. It's significanlty better than the first generation, and it's perfect for day to day tasks and even for running basic AI or vision scripts, but it's definitely not not a "powerhouse".

[@jlebrech]

i would make the acrylic area bigger to accommodate future SBCs, maybe put a hole in the top to make space for a 60% keyboard.

[@Appri]

Every time you say Cyberdeck it sounds like Cyberdick and I'm like what-

[@BeetleBuns]

but can you adjust the size

[@jt23502]

Cyberdix😂

[@ps6k4trk33]

Very nice project, congrats

[@whitneyeaton5585]

great job on the cyber deck. neat project. thanks

[@cultofsogga5863]

Hi I just put the ready parts into the box thanks for watching that's all about this video.

[@nickmc01]

I think a bigger screen and a better hinge would really improve this. Looks like the case leans forward making it difficult to look at the screen.

[@toddhull2371]

Veeerrry nice, well done.

[@DarkusObscurius]

A second pelican case working as a beefy portable powerbank yould be a perceft companion for this project.

[@k62627]

Personally, I would have loved to have seen or had some reviews of the finalised set-up being utilised in different roles. By no means trying to bring down the project, I'd just love to see how functional it is with whatever it is you use it for if that makes sense. The work horse vs the show pony so to speak. It does look clean though

[@mammoh]

I am so fascinated with these kind of videos, you have no idea

[@dirtyred2000]

I think you need to revisit this, it doesn’t really make sense. You put a mini PC in a water proof case but it doesn’t work if you’re using it. The keyboard is too flimsy, the mouse feels like an after thought but it’s not world ending, and everything inside is susceptible to water damage during use. It looks cool but seems extremely impractical, maybe if you made a habit of boarding planes that crash into the ocean it’d made sense. Maybe get a broken latitude or other rugged laptop, harvest components, rebuild it with a latte, in a new case etc. this idea has cool potential.

[@Yona.845]

Amazing engineering

[@frauseo]

Adding a Powerbank would be awesome 🤙🏼

[@OH8STN]

Very nice computer and project. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you

[@lostinwayfare8652]

I'm putting on in my car. don't know what I am gonna use it for but ill figure out the minor details later.

[@user-jp8ry4uo2u]

❤❤ this is good for a pentester like me, someday I will try it

[@armatonix]

Looks good, for me screen size is ok, but it can be definitly bigger. I would say more important than the size of screen is lack of battery power, you could easyli hide some behind the screen!

[@roguegalaxia]

Nice good job!!!!

[@LordWillyGee]

I really like your setup. 1) I would max out the touch screen monitor 13-14inch if can. I know I old school tech. But I still like my DVD/Blu-ray burner and would add a 4-port USB (2.0- 3.2+, FireWire) on the right side. The price of the Delta is still too high 64gb eMMC (500+GB) and 8gb Ram ("Really for gaming/Graphic designer low-side"16-32+ GB) 2.0-2.9Ghz CPU Quad...(3.2-4.0 GHz) I do think Delta can meet the upper size. 2016 year model laptop meet this! I hate to say. You got, space for speakers too? Monitor wasted space. Would love to add a battery pack, also. Still a great project for DIY.

[@waltergonzalezpaz5995]

I love it, and yes, a bigger screen so he better

[@SuperManDNA]

so now you can launch nuclear weapons while camping

[@thesnack7240]

I would have added a battery and a wifi adapter to use for cyber security :)

[@MichaelKlements]

It's got built in WiFi as well, I just prefer to use ethernet

[@ZanderSwart]

lekker ding daai

[@youtubiefun]

DOPE AF.

[@regisschneider3250]

as many say bigger screen, to fit case, even add some 21700 battery and on/off button, or better ..... start when open

[@NIIL069]

Thats amazing

[@joliver1981]

Cyberdeck is sweet. I think I’m gunna make one using my new Khadas Edge2.

[@amy-joe5772]

Looks fabulous

[@nasuno7542]

Couldve used a biggee screen and the motherboard behind the screen and use the leftover space for intrgrated touchpad keyboard would look cooler

[@stephanpretorius8553]

will you cover the lattepanda Sigma ? awesome video Love from RSA

[@macwmcel8430]

Wonderful project

[@Nobe_Oddy]

I think that both the LattePanda AND your build are AMAZING!!!!! Only one thing I would change/add - a place to hold the power cable. Also how good is the wifi with the antenna being in the case, under the Panda? I would think it gets fairly good signal in there, but if not then maybe you could use extensions for those tiny little antenna wires to go to the 'surface' where the other ports are and convert them into some antenna that you can un/screw when you close it... Maybe you can do Cyberdeck v2.0 with some of the suggestions, and/or things you couldn't quite put onto it.... maybe some Arduino controlled packages to pop on while out in the field, like a small weather station that could fit inside the case too... you might be able to get some extra room by using a KB/Trackpad combo... but I don't think I've ever seen a folding one like yours.. There is just SOOOO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!! - (A built-in projector and gaming controllers replacing the KB/Mouse for a portable retro emulation station comes to mind lol) - Maybe instead of actually building all the different things, you could just put together the parts lists and ideas and make a video about them..... just some suggestions :) (I wish I was in a financial spot to build things like this, so watching others make videos building them is the next best thing lol)

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you! Yeah, I'm going to look at how to include a battery and power supply into the build as well. I didn't have any issues with my WiFi signal with them in the current location. I'm not sure if the antennas are matched to the device, so they need to be that length, but otherwise it would be nice to move them into the lid so they're held "up". There is so much potential for this sort of build. It depends on what you'd land up using it for. I like the idea of using a projector for retro gaming!

[@GabrielCaetanoMello]

Would you be able to use a powerbank and gsm/lte mobile data to increase mobility?

[@MichaelKlements]

You'd need a fairly large power bank, but yes you could do that. The ports on the bottom of the board allow you to add a GSM or mobile data module for remote work.

[@SB-qm5wg]

Cool!

[@severussin]

This is impressive.

[@ThisDudeHea]

Love it

[@Mikey-Likes-I.T]

nice setup! could of used a bigger screen , but other than that sweet.

[@stopdusty420]

I did a similar build, Diy buggout computer!!

[@PlayingItWrong]

A thermal duct between the opening and the fan would mean that it wont recirculate air within the cavity (as long as the air has a way out to those vent holes near the hinge)

[@Tamay.]

Once the glue was drah

[@ljay3030]

very nice !!great work

[@Furkidd]

Smart design choices. My only gripe is use of hot glue which makes accessing the guts not possible. Beside that, how much does the latte panda consume in terms of power.? Is it feasible to run over battery?

[@kurashi22]

Looks amazing) From my point of view this could be better with a pre installed battery and a bigger display.

[@putraadriansyah8082]

this thing will be a perfect solution for car guys who want to embed a computer in their project car so they dont have to bring a laptop in the passanger seat just to run ecu tuning software (i.e: tunerstudio)

[@HairyScrambler]

This is awesome, amazing work

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you!

[@Sithhy]

Great CyberLatte build. The only thing I would possibly change is to somehow make access to the USB 3 ports easier, right now it looks like you need to dismantle the top of the cover to access them

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you. I've brought the high speed USB 3.2 gen 2 port to the front panel as well as the USB C port, so you've got two that are easily accessible. If more are regularly required then it would definitely be better to add another extension to re-route them to the front panel as well.

[@bluehornet6752]

That's an AWESOME result Michael! I would concur with ScareCrow's comment about using a larger screen, but other than that...you're really put together an incredible little project there.

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you, yes a larger screen is on my upgrade list

[@DanNV100]

Миша, ты молодец.

[@bobgeisel13]

Excellent Project! A laser cutter is next on my list of workshop tools. To make the cyberdeck really portable, you should consider battery/solar power.

[@MichaelKlements]

They're really useful for making up parts! Thanks for the suggestion, a battery would definitely be a nice addition

[@EricMosegard]

Great job!

[@haydenc2742]

Oh man...would a 10.1" screen fit in that upper part! Such a great build and completely waterproof and ruggedized! I have an old toughbook I wanted to gut and do this with..

[@MichaelKlements]

It could definitely do with a slightly larger screen, I'm pretty sure a 10.1" would fit. This would be great for an old toughbook!

[@cyclinginberlin]

Looks cool!

[@Scion3496]

could be a good camping computer and maybe add something so that people could use a drone and see through the screen

[@DocLois2010]

Inspirational build!

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you

[@GingerNingerGames]

I might be an adult child but it's always super entertaining when a kiwi says "deck". Great build man, how's the fold out keyboard? That might be the only shortcoming in my eyes, but that could just be me.

[@MichaelKlements]

I find it a bit small to type on, but it's actually held up reaonsably well.

[@bernardonaka1839]

you can now add a faraday cage inside to protect it from emp's and boom you have a post apocalyptic pc XD

[@HiltonT69]

Nice job.

[@AdrianC2006Uk]

Lots of spare space for additional kit in that box. Shame about the OS choice ;-) Great project though. Thanks for sharing

[@gjordan6692]

Sick 🥵😎

[@battlefinder]

$280 is an instant-killer for this. You can get an old laptop and do the same thing with 3x the processing power

[@devilik3692]

and smaller size lmao

[@SuperCacahuete93]

Bonjour, c'est génial 😊😊

[@amy-joe5772]

I used a conair hair clipper case all I need is one part to finish it

[@Wheels0084]

your idea is good but to truly make it portable it will need some kind of battery for times when power is just not available with a recharge port and for people who like to prep, a way to shield it from EMP with a self contained survival wiki server set up it

[@johncnorris]

Nice kit! PS - Can it play Crysis?

[@theabyss5647]

I wish they used an AMD APU.

[@hondawea]

and the heat?, use a amd apu its impossible

[@Dedgyblazer]

Does it have a built in mic somewhere? Would be cool for it to have a webcam + mic holes as well or maybe make it completely portable? either way cool ass build!

[@MichaelKlements]

It doesn’t have a built in mic but it does have a mic port so it would be easy to add. Thanks for the support!

[@Tamay.]

Shouldve gotten a bigger screen

[@MiguelMateo]

Hi Michael, can you do a quick video using the Arduino features from the computer? How to set up the environment, what libraries are required ... etc.? A simple blink example using this board to program and execute the Arduino routine would be sufficient.

[@MichaelKlements]

Hi Miguel, I'll have a look at putting a short video together. I played around with the IDE briefly during testing and it really just looks like the Arduino shows up as if you have one connected to your computer's USB ports. So shouldn't require any additional setup or libraries - I'll check on this though.

[@blackmennewstyle]

Amazing job as always Michael

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you! Yes, it's priced quite well for it's spec's.

[@hassibstrangerthingseleven9862]

Hello Michael Klements, your project is increible. I don't have design knowledges, can you design a support of the display for a 9" display please.

[@sirdee9607]

Great

[@sushantgupta3468]

What are the projects that can be make with the help of latte panda

[@brokecitizen4934]

Great video I thought of getting one For video production stuff. I had a question on your laser machine I want to cut acrylic who make that one where can I get one and how much space is needed

[@gregspeakman9337]

Nice project. I can appreciate you not wanting to drill holes in the Pelican case. The project will be great for amateur radio field use. Over time, do you anticipate the hot glue used in holding the USB cables, to give you any troubles?

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you. Yeah, it sort of defeats the object of putting it into a Pelican case if you make holes in it. Hot glue probably isn't a good idea if you're likely to use it in the sun or leave it in a hot car. This is partially why I used it though as I can warm up the case to remove the panels if I need to make any changes to wiring etc.. If it needed to survive the heat then I'd probably look at designing brackets to hold some screws so that the panels were easily removable and then epoxy the brackets into the case rather.

[@garzonimpleks]

a pretty neat one, but personally i would have added some space to carry a battery bank so it could be used away from the wall in a more convenient manner.

[@MichaelKlements]

I was thinking about running the 12V input to a barrel jack and trying the UPS I used recently for my bluetooth speaker. It would be interesting to see how long it would run on the UPS.

[@egetinaz3994]

Awesome project. How did you boot the LattePanda without pressing the power button? Love the mechanical design aswell. Keep up the good projects.

[@MichaelKlements]

Thank you. You can set the LattePanda to auto-boot when powered in it's BIOS, it's called ACPowerLoss if I remember correctly.

[@FullcontactNerding]

Really cool! One good idea I had was to maybe angle the ports slightly outward. So the cables don’t stand straight up? What do you think about that?

[@MichaelKlements]

That's a nice idea, thanks!

[@siyabulelankomo7504]

In the setup, appreciate the videos! Maybe a dumb question but is there a way to export content in mono in soft20?

[@KineticAirRgV]

Can you link the m3 kit of standoffs and bolts please?! TY

[@pendragonscode]

Great project and all, but how did you pronounce "Linux"?

[@mindcraft432]

Its an great project but you made a tiny mistake the delta 3 sucks in cool air on top and the warm air gets out on the side with the three usb ports but there is just one hole and since warm air goes up it goes through the hole for the cool air so its not quite perfect but can be fixed with a dremmel

[@MichaelKlements]

There is a series of cooling holes between the Delta 3 and the hinged edge of the case, the warm air comes out of these holes.

[@Tamay.]

The way you pronounce Linux
