my family is out of town this week so I've got the weekend free to redesign the Atreus cyberdeck from scratch while Amiga demoscene videos play in the background on my Pi
you better believe I am prepared for the party effect, Amiga scenester of the past
I wonder if I can mount a breadboard on the back of my cyberdeck
one very important hacker skill is knowing when it's time to bust out the hacksaw
current #cyberdeck status: need more M4 nuts for the middle panel where the display will be mounted, but the hardware store is closed, so further progress on the case will have to wait till tomorrow.
the Pine64 works fine over SSH or HDMI, but it completely refuses to even boot with the official Pine64 DSI display plugged in so... I gotta figure out what's going on there; maybe they sold me a faulty power supply?
it's not going anywhere till I can figure out what's wrong with the display (not to mention how to mount it), but it looks sharp
getting closer to functional
couldn't make any progress on the Pine64 display so I swapped it out for a Pi zero for now
once I get the keyboard controller wired in and the mounting screws for the Pi it'll be usable while plugged in but I also have a charging board and 2500maH lipoly to add later
once again I'm stopping for the day because the damn Pi needs M2.5 screws and, you guessed it, the hardware store is closed.
tonight's accompaniment is Sonic Youth and Halt and Catch Fire
action shot!
then I got the display installed but the bracket isn't that strong, might need to cut a thicker one.
also there's not really a battery but I think I got that part figured out
@piggo it's a bit rough because the balance is off; it tips back too easily. I need the strap to connect to both the top and the bottom, I think?
@technomancy for a moment I thought you had the keyboard split and attached to your pants so you could type while walking around
@cwebber I have done that before! (like a decade ago)
it, uh. doesn't work that well? you have to tighten the straps a lot, which is uncomfortable, and then it's annoying to take off when you need to pee. I used repurposed skater knee-pads.
the shoulder strap is a way better solution.
