When your Adafruit Industries Cyber Deck HAT just isn’t cyberdecky enough… add some meccano!



Normally the HAT is held in place pretty tight, but I had to use an extender header as the 5.0″ screen’s HMDI connector along the bottom edge fouled the Pi 400’s case.


This was my first attempt at building a tiny CyberDeck: Pi Zero 2W, Adafruit 2.8″TFT LCD with @Solderparty‘s BBQ20 USB keyboard

Then I tried the 5.0″ Elecrow HDMI screen, but most of the bulk of the whole setup was the HDMI connectors/cables 😦


Finally getting somewhere – the Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (all IO over the GPIO pins!) much neater and with better screen quality then the 2.8″ or 5.0″ screens. And so cute 😀
I modified the plastic bottom of the Flirc case to allow me to mount the Zero4U USB hub directly onto the Pi Zero.
