You may be able to down clock the pi to reduce power draw - this being software it gives you the option of increasing the Pi's power if you ever needed. Its not so much that the Pi 4 is the problem here its that you have a substandard power brick.

Very nice. Have you ever considered selling the 3D printed parts? Package it with the wiring diagram and parts list along with a list for the consumer to purchase...or some semblance thereof. Looks really durable. I like your applications [uses] but would add ATAK, an SDR with the entire package capable of interacting with other team devices as a server.

Another awesome video. I really appreciate how thoroughly you explain your process and decisions. Nice build! Thanks again for sharing with us.

I like the detailed explanation of that locking switch - I can use this in a design I am working on. Thanks!

$25 dollars for one switch, lol

this thing is both awesome and really really well put together, nice one man!

Thank you for this info, as a software engineer i've been highly interested getting into more hardware based projects

An other nice and thorough video. I had never heard of those solder tubes. I'll have to look for them.

Definitely plan to add those various connector kits to my Amazon list for a "rainy day" so to speak...

very well made

Another good video, the wiring and explanation of your use of spade connectors was very useful. 🇺🇸

This project needs ham radio bigtime! All mode all band 100w rig, solar, 12v battery, hack rf1, power distribution and cooling in a Faraday cage case on wheels!

just ordered parts for my build.

Tech tip here on your power line to the rpi you need the data lines to get 2.1 a from the powerbank

It would be nice to have an EMP-Save version of this ;)

It is stored in a Faraday box

This is useful in these dark times. On a more trivial note, you should do a Steamdeck dock version.

Awesome build! The only thing I'd change is having the fuse accessible without having to dissemble. Still, nice work. Thanks for sharing

Ideally yes, but concession have to be made.

very nice design concept may be just use some Lacing Cord, Braided Core, PVC Sheath, 1 mm to 1.2 mm O.D., Black, Nylon to (farneli 81400001) to tidy up wires. As a aeronautical electronics design engineer that's what would be done in the military. Thanks for sharing.

You can include an alan wrench in the back, visible once you pry the unit itself from the case.

This is amazing. Sadly, I don't have the knowledge on how to make this myself.

Good video. One question, why did you not use a common ground and then connect the positive wires only to the switches?

im in the process of making one. i've never used the gpio tho. what are the terminals used for? i see you only use a few of the bunch. great video btw

Any chance of a tutorial on wiring the power between external and the battery?

obra maestra solo falto ser sumergible y un poco mas pequeña pero en generan cortara digo se ve genial.

What would be the advantage of the ethernet switch? Just hooking up a bunch of desktops? Seems like a single ethernet port would be sufficient, and free up a lot of room.

Cool project. Would a wireless Bluetooth keyboard work with this build?

Hello, what kind of 3D printer can print that design?

Always interesting to see what people call those connectors at 12:20. I call them Anderson. My boss calls them spade.

your boss is half right, but they are really lucas spade connectors!

I wonder how you designed supporters holding internal components. You measured all internal parts' size with a ruler or something? I'd failed 100 times if I tried it.

Use some Vaseline in all them connections to help guard against the build up of surface scum on the surfaces and maintain good connection (mainly referring to them spatula connections to the switches, etc)...

How much did that thing cost?

So, this is built inside the Pelican 1300???

Did anyone hear him talk about the memory/Harddrive? He said the info on it was over 500GB in a different video. Im wondering if he has an M.2 on there, or where he is keeping his info.

Hi is the website Back7 down?

What is the exact model of switches you used for your build? My dumbA bought the big version you used in your example. So in hopes of getting the next order right, I’m hoping this comment finds you! TIA

Is the battery pack always on? I built one but the power pack is solid state with no on/off switch I can tap into from an external switch. HELP!

No, battery pack is not always on. I have a separate power input that goes directly to the power pack. Which is a direct usb-micro input in the case of this battery pack.

what about basic SDR

what does concious mean?

After taking it out, it doesn't look like those screws are cosmetic, they are keeping the face plate together lol.

can you build a fallout 4 style terminal with a raspberry pi? :p

How much would it be if you can make me one
