We’ve been overlaying cyberdeck tasks for a very long time now they usually are inclined to get “samey.” However YARH.IO (But One other Raspberry Handheld) has a historical past of releasing attention-grabbing designs that all the time impress us. The latest venture from YARH.IO, THEBRICK, isn’t any totally different.
Now we have featured two YARH.IO builds prior to now: the unique YARH.IO MKI and the follow-up YARH.IO Micro 2. Each have been pocket computer systems constructed across the Raspberry Pi 3 Mannequin B+ with full tactile keyboards. However there was one YARH.IO venture we missed: the Cyberdeck Keyboard. That could be a 4×12 or 5×12 compact ortholinear mechanical keyboard designed to be used in cyberdecks. THEBRICK is YARH.IO’s first cyberdeck design to benefit from that keyboard.
THEBRICK options the Cyberdeck Keyboard and a Raspberry Pi 4 Mannequin B single-board pc. THEBRICK has three most important sections: the primary unit (THEBRICK itself), the Cyberdeck Keyboard, and a service body that ties these two collectively. That is attention-grabbing, as a result of it helps many various carriers. As an example, one service has folding hinge mechanisms so it could possibly raise the primary unit as much as a degree that’s simpler to see. One other service has a static design that appears a bit like an outdated TRS-80 Mannequin 100 pc, with the display flat above the keyboard.
This uncommon design compelled YARH.IO to cram every little thing apart from the keyboard into the primary unit. That incorporates the Raspberry Pi, a 400×1280 pixel 7.9” touchscreen from Waveshare, three 5000mAh Fenix ARB-L21-5000U batteries (every with an built-in charger), a small OLED standing display, a Pimoroni Tiny 2040 improvement board to manage that display, and extra. There may be even a heatsink and fan to maintain the Raspberry Pi good and funky. That’s loads to suit into such a small area, however YARH.IO even offered wire guides to help in cable administration and maintain every little thing tidy.
The primary unit enclosure, keyboard enclosure, and carriers are all 3D-printable. Like YARH.IO’s different designs, they’ve a type of minimalist industrial aesthetic that reminds us of merchandise from the Nineteen Eighties. And, in fact, these STL information can be found for obtain so you’ll be able to print them and construct your personal THEBRICK.
