Raspberry Pad 5, You Can Easily Build An Awesome Cyber Deck With This! Hands-On

In this video, we take a look at the all-new Raspberry Pad 5 from Big Tree tech. This turns your Raspberry Pi CM4 into an awesome little portable media, Gaming, Dev Terminal, weather station, or whatever you can imagine because it adds a 5-inch IPS touch display, Full-size HDMI, RTC, 40 GPIO pins, and SD card to the compute module 4! I personally wanted to get my hands on this to build a real cool CM4 mini Cyber deck. It supports all the major Raspberry pi Operating systems like Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Pop OS, and Android.

hey, I have an idea about the "easy cyberdeck" setup! you could design it so that instead of a clamshell, you'd have a slide-on mechanism for attaching the keyboard, would also be really easy to do, you can do it with 2 layers, filing away till they make a hole between them, or with three layers, which go "solid backplate" "layer with holes for the posts to slide into" "another solid layer", the latter of which doesn't necessarily have to be full-size, it just needs to cover the holes, keeping the sticks/posts in, and then on the bottom part, you could use the same material that you just cut out of the middle layer, file it down a little so it moves a bit easier (especially from the top end which you'd be inserting, probably try to curve the corners), and the bottom end you can screw or glue into the base part, or be ALSO slide-in into the base part (preferably you'd have screws or velcro or something that keeps it stable there, though), that way you can disassemble it into a much smaller and less fragile state (e.g. you could feasibly put it in a bag, without risking breaking it due to something else pressing against it a little too much, etc, so you can take it outside of your home)
make it into an actually portable setup, not merely a "you can hold it in your hand, at home" setup

That is super cool. Would love to see more projects done with this.

BigTreeTech is well regarded in the 3D printing community for their controller boards so it’s nice to see they are designing new things like this.

Being about the same price as a Lilliput 5 or 7 inch monitor, which I used on my last one, this would make a great way to do PiHole for the house, being able to see the status screen PiHole has... with less jumping through hoops to get the resolution to match the monitor.

The gap is big enough that you could easily have a small battery or audio chip in there.

Do you have a link for the keyboard? Would love this for when I use my gaming computer in my livingroom.

[marcinbrzozowski]

Buddy, you just tooked my future CarPi project to another level!
Thank you so freaking much!

[NyaronVT]

It looks very cool already! Can't wait to see the next version!

[jamesbarkley]

I definitely needed to see this kid built thank you so much

[Chuckapotamus]

I love seeing these videos of the cool Raspberry pi projects coming out, if only I could actually GET a CM4 :(

[ShadowBassMan]

We use similar Pies to this at work for our Humidity Monitors. Its great!

[InSearchOfScience]

Anyone know what brand/model that mini wireless keyboard is? Been looking for one with big keys that is still small just like that.

[BedujiNuji]

i always appreciate the effort you put into every video! ️

[alexguzman]

What kind of keyboard is he using? looks kinda cool if you ask me.

[dsoffer]

hey, bud. long time fan. first time commenting. i was wondering what keyboard you have on that cyber deck. really digging it and have been trying to find something just like it for quite a while but haven't had any luck. if you wouldn't mind shooting me a link or a brand and model, it would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance!

[LoneWolf]

its nice to see a pi based tablet style board that doesnt have a super thick back or, like that one you reviewed a while back, a handle permanently sticking out the one side.
i hope your cyberdeck doesnt come out thicker than it is tall, that tends to be a problem with a LOT of peoples builds.

[ShadowRune]

Really interesting we'll try to remember it next year when I might actually be able to get a cm4

[bluegizmo]

Man, if that thing had an M.2 slot it would be PERFECT!!

[blaineallenbrown]

I've been looking to make something like this. I want a portable thumb keyboard pc! This is a cool starting point and I'm definitely going to look into the palight before I order a 3d print. Thanks for the video!

[scotrick]

What air mouse/keyboard is that??? Please link to it ETA Prime!
