Resistance is futile

A project log for Everything but the kitchen sink cyberdeck

My cut on the iconic project build. I have the case, I have the PI, I have a vision. Let's see if I can get it done.

Howdy All,

As the lack of updates probably suggests, I have not made much progress on this build. I'm trying to proritize this in my daily scheme...I've pulled that project in from the outside work area to inside my house so its closer to "work on" in my free moments.

One of the last things I completed was the laser cutting of the EMF cloth which didnt go as planned, I might be able to use some of it but I'm going to have to manually trim the pieces to fit which is a bummer beacuase I was aiming for one contiguous piece of material. If I have to cut pieces

I've seen a few projects since I've started that have inspired a few changes/adoptions. I plan to integrate an electronic component tester/identifier. I'm also considering potentially building the internal frame out of wood or a wood/3D printed hybrid but I like the idea of using basic materials in an item that might need to be repaied in the field and I imagine that wood is available post apocalypse, 3D printers maybe not...also I've seen a few builds that are super feature/hardware dense and at the risk of extending things out, I am tempted to assimilate some of those ideas.

Thanks for following my project. I'm shooting to have it done August timeframe assuming that's then the next cyberdeck challenge will be. I'm open to feedback, let me know what you think.

Curtis-
