KickDeck

by LowPolyPhosphorus · Hard · manifest draft — being verified

A work-in-progress hard-case cyberdeck built around a KickPi K2B, seven-inch touchscreen and a four-cell Waveshare UPS board.

LowPolyPhosphorus is developing KickDeck as a compact Linux terminal inside a mini Pelican-style hard case. The published concept combines an RK3568-based KickPi board, touch display, handheld keyboard and OLED status panel, with battery power routed through Waveshare's four-cell UPS HAT (E).

Notes

Official README, repository tree and MIT license checked at commit 1355aca798712d5a532edb81bc9fe7ed06b855ad on 2026-10-28. Kept as draft because the creator marks the project work in progress, final CAD files and assembly documentation are not published, and several components remain under-specified. The README also names four flat-top 21700 cells, a tiny 5V fan and an EC11 encoder; these are not mapped to catalog products because the linked battery seller is not approved and the fan dimensions and encoder mounting style are unstated. No printable files are published.
