Cyberdeck
5/14 I have had this idea for a while, but never got around to do it. Now is the perfect time! My plan is to make a basic cyberdeck with the Latte Panda Mu. I did a lot of research about how I will actually accomplish this. I found https://cyberdeck.cafe/build, and will follow some of that advice. I'll begin with looking at the full carrier board made by Latte Panda and try to understand how it works. Then I'll build a custom carrier board with the items of my choice.
5/16 Sadly, this project must come to an end, mainly due to costs and tariffs. I'll probably pursue this without the help of Hack Club at a later date.

SIKE!!! Got you there, didn't I. Ok in all seriousness, I'll still try to build this. Today, I just did a bunch of research on how to bring the cost down. At the end, I came up with these two things (majority of cost):

I did a LOT more research. I never expected that this type of project would require this many hours of research. I'll stick with the MakerFocus battery and circuit. I unfortunately couldn't find an CAD file for that board that works, which is not ideal. I also want to go with the Waveshare 7 inch screen as it will offer better battery efficiency. So I'll have to end up designing a USB hub, a keyboard, and an enclosure for this project.
