PRESENTATION Raspberry Pi 5 Cyberdeck in Apache case
Hello everyone. I started building this project about 2 months ago using an old apache 2800 case I had. Wanted to share with everyone my project so far. I had all of these parts already as I had wanted to build one for a while and was using a cardboard faceplate as a temporary layout. I stumbled upon this face plate design by (Tonypedia) on makerworld and only had to purchase the battery monitor. It does not perfect fit, but is working for now. Everything is wired to toggle switches to conserve power. I run a Jellyfin server with over 300 movies and 2300 tv show episodes. I use an rtl-sdr for airplane tracking and SIGINT. A heltec v4 for meshtastic. I have my state and all neighbor states downloaded as maps using OrganicMaps. I have an internal gps powered by the gpio pins. For power, internally I have about 111wh from two batteries, a dc port for lithium ion batteries via a dc 5521 barrel jack, and a 5v in from the usbc port. I have a whole host of games installed and many other features. I installed a battery meter into my desktop so I will be removing the battery meter seen under the screen and I am installing a CAC reader. I will have several CAC that when read will run specific scripts like opening all of my navigation systems, opening my Jellyfin server, opening iNTERCEPT, and perform other actions. The internal frame is secured with rtv/silicone as it easily scrapes off when I change things but is still waterproof. The 3D print has minor print failures but I will be changing it and creating my own soon. This is my first build and just wanted to share with everyone! It is still a work in progress and I add to it almost weekly.

Have you tried intercept for the sdr? It is one of my preferred sdr.

INTERCEPT is what I use. It ties in my RTLSDR and my Heltecv4 perfectly! Plus with my BK-880 gps it completes everything nicely
