Been a while! Lately I’ve been hacking on this little #cyberdeck project. It’s very much in prototype mode at the moment but I’ve built a mini #circuitpython powered launcher that loads “apps” from the SD card and can be navigated by touch or keyboard navigation. The keyboard is hand-wired with tactile switches (to keep things compact) through a Pi Pico that talks to the main brain (a Waveshare ESP32-S3 2.8” touch screen) over UART and can be switched to work as a standalone keeb too.

I still have a loooooong way to go with this project and I keep getting distracted with random app ideas! I’ll probably start designing custom mini keycaps next and then move on to the main shell.

Some progress on the deck. I now have a single plate for the keyboard and screen and a prototype outer shell
