mutantC_v2- An open Raspberry Pi UMPC/Handheld

thingiverse

A handheld platform built with Raspberry Pi features a physical keyboard, display, and expansion header for custom boards like Arduino Shields. Take a look at this project in 3D using AutoDesk Fusion 360 Online. Here are some key features: • mutantC v2 is fully open-source hardware, allowing you to hack it as you wish. • You can create your own expansion cards like GPS or radio and attach them to the platform. • The handheld device supports various Raspberry Pi form factors such as Asus Tinker Board S, Pine H64 Model B, and Banana Pi BPI-M4B. You can use Pi Zero to Pi 4. • The back part of the device is attached with four screws, providing access to all ports. • It can hold a 4" or 3.5" touch screen and features a physical keyboard connected via USB. Additional updates include the addition of Adafruit STEMMA QT and SparkFun qwiic connectors. The handheld platform also features an 18650 battery with charge and discharge protection. You don't need to install any custom Raspbian image; you can use vanilla Raspbian and install the LCD driver. Making one requires minimal parts, as listed on the project's GitLab page. This device is designed for touch-based applications using C Suite Application suite, which is suitable for small screens. Learn more about this application on the CuboCore website. Get involved by building your own mutantC v2 and contributing to the community around it. Follow the guide on the mutantC GitLab page to build one.
