Here's my in-progress build.
This is my 'briefcase bomb' cyberdeck.
I'm using a pi 5 (16gb) for my base and the official rpi monitor as monitor. The keyboard and mouse are removable and use external batteries.
The last image shows my BrachioGraph, a machine that draws, as I want my cyberdeck to be more than a fat laptop. It will fold down into a small box inside that is about 1x2x4 inches. I have added bolts to the design so that it can be quickly and easily bolted onto the correct location.
I may add an additional lcd on top of it, and the bolts on the front will soon be joined by many more. I'm also planning to do a sick paint job.
So, I've got the main cyberdeck build, but batteries are still my only main issue.
What do y'all recommend?
I have around 12x1.5x17.5 inches of free space saved for batteries, by I'm not sure what is ideal for power per inch.
I'm hoping to have between 100 and 300 hours of battery life or above, if possible.
(Yes I know it will weigh between 15 and 50 pounds.)
