Raspberry Pi Cyberdeck designs

This is my latest design for use with a 4.3" screen that connects to the raspberry Pi via a ribbon cable.  It can be found at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FP1SZF71?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I started with the "DeckTility" design but it did not work for my 5" screen.  So I set off to make my own design based on their design. 

Before long I had three Raspberry Pi designs.  When it came to the 3.5" and 4.3" screens I made adapters for the 5" case design to fit the smaller screens.


Then I decided to make a custom design for the 4.3" screen.


All of my designs are on thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/bobdavis321/designs

Should I do my own design for a 7" LCD?  YES!

I now have made a design for a 7" LCD with the Raspberry Pi attached upside down to the screen.  The USB jacks are indented quite a bit but USB devices with antennas usually fit ncely with just the antenna outside of the case.

This is what the screen looks like with the Raspberry Pi attached. I had to glue 3/4" spacers on the bottom of the LCD as I could not find spacers to fit the threads that are there.  The screen came with the HDMI and USB connectors to the Raspberry pi.


I am currently designing Keyboard adapters to fit the various keyboards that can work with this screen.

Using Launcher to select between Bruce Halehound Marauder and Ghost

I installed "Launcher" to select between Bruce Halehound Marauder and Ghost.

Its found at "https://bmorcelli.github.io/Launcher/webflasher.html"

This is a video about using "Launcher" https://youtu.be/CqeIo4jXe6A


Finding the ".bin" files for the SD card is not easy.  Here are the versions and date stamps of the ones that I found that worked. Now I realize that some of them do not give a version number!


Ghost does not include the version number.  Here is the location that I found and version that I used.


For the others I just searched my hard drive for the .bin files that I had previously downloaded.  If you can't find them I could post then to the internet somehow?
