Cardputer custom firmware
I posted this project not too long ago. Im working on some more features to add to a update. If you guys might have any features too add, that will be great. Im trying to utilize the built in modules and some external modules like maybe the lora cap
Halehound cydV2
Posted my halehound build a little while. I mentioned a bigger body with antenna cutouts. I ended up putting some gpio headers on the case but I posted another body without gpio on printables. https://www.printables.com/model/1719320-cydv2
Adv custom firmware
So lately my adv been just sitting collecting dust on my desk and with the zero coming out im afraid its going get worse lol. I have the lora cap for this but meshtastic is not used around me at all. So I started looking at my adv and was wondering what can I do to use it more. The device is awesome with keyboard and speakers so I been working on this custom firmware that I think I would carry it around, use it more often. I normally ssh into my raspberry through my pc so I thought why not a terminal if I just wanted to do something quick. Also added an mp3 player, gb/gbc emulator if I get bored. Something to use the keyboard more so added a notepad and file explorer if you want to delete or view stuff off the sd or fs. Sorry its getting long, just wanted to share this and it also should work with regular cardputer. If there's enough interest in this I might put it out. I tested everything but the emulator i dont have any roms, if anyone know where to find it please lmk
Diy space mouse
Made this mouse awhile ago for fusion. I still haven't tried with fusion lol maybe cause its only 3dof. For some reason the code wasn't working so I had to come up with something. Then I just left it on the desk. It works ok, I'm see if I can get it dialed in for fusion. If anything its a cool mouse
Cyd-c5 Rf hat
https://github.com/RLee203/CYD-c5-ghost if you guys want to try the firmware out. Its wired for the rf hat. It should work without the rf hat but you have to change the pins if you going to use your own modules.

Thank you LilyGO team for sending me the T-Echo-Card to try out. I really appreciate the chance to test it.
This is still an early review and the device is not fully tested yet. I have only had a couple of days with it so far. I have not fully tested:
- GPS
- NFC
- solar charging system
- microphone
So far, I have been able to get Meshtastic running on the device and test quite a bit with it. I was able to:
- boot Meshtastic on the T-Echo-Card
- connect it to the official Meshtastic app
- control settings through the app
- send and receive messages
- test button navigation on the device
- use the onboard LEDs as a flashlight feature with brightness control
A few things I liked:
- the form factor is nice and small
- the device feels good in the hand
- the speaker sounds decent and clear
A few suggestions / issues so far:
- the screen could be a little bigger, not much, just slightly larger to make navigation and status viewing easier
- the rubber on the A button tore within a couple of days of use, so if this is common it may be worth using a different material
- the magnetic charging cable works fine, but I would also recommend considering something similar to the SenseCAP charging system so customers could use existing chargers or docks more easily
Overall, I think the T-Echo-Card is a very interesting device with a nice compact design, and I am glad I got the chance to try it. I will continue testing and provide more updates as time goes on. Thank you again. https://github.com/RLee203/t-echo-card-meshtastic-test
Just got the hackergadgets adapter board and nvme battery board. I have the emmc 4gb cm4 and I kept running out of storage fast. Ordered these to get more storage and had an extra 500gb crucial nvm around the house, thankfully with storage prices going up. Definitely recommend these mods of you have the emmc version
Got most of all the functions working properly and sd card. https://github.com/RLee203/c5-marauder-dongle
Ported marauder to c5 dongle. I haven't tested the gps yet. I plan on wiring gps later and trying it out. 1 press of boot button is next long press is select. I uploaded bin files to my github if yall want to try it. Flash bootloader@0x2000 partitions@0x8000 boot_app0@0xE000 and firmware@0x10000. Let me know if theres any issues https://github.com/RLee203/c5-marauder-dongle
Please be responsible and test your own network
