Hello! I am a programmer/IT professional but I’m interested in dipping my toes into hardware design.
I want to make a cyberdeck but am unsure where to start; the mobo, screen, periferals, design?
I want to use this to run a HMD with a basic ubuntu-style OS(browser, text editor, etc). If possible I would like USB expandability, an extra display separate from HMD, and fits in a arm or belt wearable frame.
So far, I have looked at raspberry pi zero 2 but they’re hard to get. I don’t see arduino being a good option for the power I want. Haven’t looked into lattepanda or any of the other common boards.
I recently saw a YouTube video where a guy built a pretty sweet deck using a used Framework 13 main board. Depending on your budget, and access to 3d printer, etc, that could be a great option.
FDM printer with plans to get a mini-resin in the coming months. I think I saw that video but didn’t watch all the way through. Will revisit it for further info.
