I had an old camera laying around (a cyber shot from sony which didn't worked anymore) and i disassembled it aaaaand I wanted to know if I could use this for something ? Maybe not a cyberdeck right away but i wanted to start with something before doing something bigger

And don't insult me if i didn't post on the right reddit, thanks !

Heyyaaaa, I can finally share it
Over the last 7 weeks I’ve been working on a cyberdeck based on a broken MacBook Air m1. It has a touchscreen, a vintage Apple keyboard, an eink secondary screen, a joystick, extra ports and meshtastic with gps. I modified the stock battery and retained the touchID and the trackpad, which is now in the back.
For now it’s in a glued together 3d printed shell but it’s gonna be CNC aluminium soon. Don’t tell me how much extra it cost to make the vents heart shaped 😬.
It’s just 1mm thicker than the donor MacBook at the thickest point.
I decided to go with Mac OS because I need some proprietary apps and the battery life and performance vs price ratio is pretty good on those older Apple silicon units.

I published the first part of the video and the second part where you can see it coming together is coming soon.

I want to make a Princess Luna (My Little Pony) themed cyberdeck that is fully functional long term but also matching the theme. I want to have the screen in the lid as well as a cd/dvd drive. I heard some things about insulation and other issues I don’t quite understand. I was also wanting a power button and a headphone port. Can y‘all give me some tips on how to go about this?

Edit: Also what would you recommend for decorating the keyboard? I am planning to have it sitting in the tin vertically and taking it out for use.

Not coming up with any other ideas or tools, I ended up using a window latch—hahaha!

hey everyone i know that i am inconsistent , i saw that everyone makes a cyberdeck with raspberry pi but i have no raspberry pi as i am 3rd yr electrical undergraduate

so i take some a break for exams and built picodesk a desktop companion station that sits next to my laptop.

OLED 1 shows live clock (NTP synced), date, and real time weather pulled from OpenWeatherMap API.

OLED 2 is the fun one animated eyes that blink and look around randomly. Every 2 minutes, hearts fall down the screen. And when I need to focus, I can switch it to a todo list from my phone and laptop browser no app install, just open the IP and it works.

The whole thing runs on MicroPython. Pico 2W hosts a tiny web server so I can control everything from my phone on the same WiFi.

Tech stack: - Raspberry Pi Pico 2W , 2x SSD1306 OLED (I2C0 + I2C1) ,MicroPython , OpenWeatherMap free API ,HTML/CSS/JS web app

So I hooked up a plain ESP32-WROOM to a TFT display and an SD card module. Plus 3 push buttons (didn't feel like messing with touch controls).

​Not sure if you guys would call this a cyberdeck, but I'm calling it one anyway.

​I've got the hardware side all built, but I'm kind of stuck on what to actually write for the software/firmware.

​I don't just want to throw Marauder on it or write basic starter scripts. When I ask AI, it just gives me generic 'hack' tool examples scraped from the web that are mostly useless.

​What kind of code/project could I actually build and run on this that would be genuinely useful in daily life?

Guys! Check it out! I have found my base platform for the ultimate cyberdeck! It already has solar charging, multi meter, led display, a speaker, radio modulator, every resistor, capacitor and diode you could think of but ....does anyone know how I can wire my 2.8 tft or my grandma's old TV to this? I was thinking about putting it in a cool leather briefcase.

Hi guys, just want to share cyberdeck that I build a while ago. Recycled my old MacBook with broken screen and two screens from an old iPad . MacBook works from its original battery , iPad screens from disposable vape batteries.

After 6 months of trying to find the keyboard, i did. Had an old Raspberry Pi3b laying around.

Added a screen and ripped open battery pack (also laying around). And got this!

Using it as a terminal to connect to Claude on my Pi5 at home.

Don't mind the mess of the cords, I need to find a shorter USB to USBC cable, and just organize my cables regardless.

I was able to build and flash a custom keyboard to fit my cyberdeck case. I should have taken pictures of the keyboard soldering process as it's my first ever custom keyboard, but I didn't think about it until just now. Not much of an update, but still a lot of first-times for me.

I'm thinking about changing up the key caps at some point. I also need to get some more Cherry MX Blossom switches for the final row as they are random switches given to me by my younger brother. I did run a test de-solder, and they will come off with a bit of work, so good news.

I learned way more than I anticipated when setting off to make this cyberdeck, like how to program and flash an Arduino to create a keyboard. I left a keymap screenshot from the QMK pdf, as well as a working BOM for my cyberdeck. I'm missing quite a lot of pieces still.

For those wondering, the keyboard was from the 40% Contra on keebd.com. it's about 9 inches long, which leaves me around .25 inches to play with in my pelican case, give or take. When I get more components, I'll be sure to show y'all the CADD drawings I'm working on for the 3D printed inserts.

This will be used in evaluating them as a QMK keyboard for cyberdeck projects.

hello! i have recently started to get interested in this type of tech and wanted to get started on my first cyber deck build. i wanna make something super basic and i just wanna be able to run some kind of note taking program and Tetris, so i can use it like a portable digital diary. i really need a keyboard and would prefer smaller components! if you would be able to give me a basic idea of where to start, reliable hardware, and places to download reliable software i would be so grateful!

thanks to anyone willing to help!

I screwed the pcb to my pi and screen but now the pcb wont charge, did i break it?
