DIY Raspberry Pi + Arduino Laptop 

I am watching this on a Raspberry Pi...

You don't need a 3D printer, just do it the oldschool way : make your parts out of wood, wax them out, mold and pour with resin !

if you go to your local starbucks with your hand crafted vintage Laptop to write an essay about why poor people are awful cause they don't eat organic food you will be the freakin king of the hipster!

That moment when a raspberry pi laptop is better than yours.

This is one of the better raspberry pi laptops I have seen. I love the intergrated ardunio it would make it easy to develop and test projects on the go

That's the coolest project build that ever seen in my entire life. No seriously, that's a great video of building. ☺️👍

nice job, i followed your tutorial and made this laptop into a briefcase, i thought this looked really cool. it turned out really nice and i use this every day

Holy shit, i was always thinking that i need a 3d printer in order to do something like that.. You give me some inspiration!

I really hope that you get sponsored with a 3d printer one day (*NEW SUB*)

I dont need it i dont need it i NEED IT

Many people have less then two stick to rub together. If your able to build a case with just duck tape,' I don't judge, I appreciate your Mayguyver instincts. Keep the projects going and bee happy with your work.

Good job dude!

I actually kinda like the battery monitor idea (weird features and all) but design-wise you picked a bad spot for it, you reduced the potential size of the screen substantially and added a large unnecessary bezel. If it could've been squeezed in to the right of the track pad (or left I suppose,) or onto the side of the laptop with a button to turn it on (ala macbook)

Gotta love those Synaptics touch pads. THE best three years of my working life where spent at that company.

Great Video Thank You for explaining to us how to connect everything together. Really enjoyed it.

Congrats on all the views Dante!,hope to see you soon.

I really appreciate your work. There's a lot of hard work and I literally enjoyed your video as I'm a CS student I'll surely try to make this device. Loved your video

Man, that's beautiful, making arduino and raspberry pi work together

Love it! I've been working on a similar project for a couple months, but the lack of 3d Printer and some soldering issues have been bugging the crap out of me. Thanks for giving me the motivation to pick it back up and(hopefully) finish it!

It is always a good idea to append the config at the end of the file, so it won't be overriden somewhere else in the config.

Really cool. I was considering to make my own too, now I have a great guide! Thumbs up!

This is seriously creative! Nice job man!

That's one really unique computer!

I Like The Way You Presented It

how much does it all cost

love the ingenuity - as to the case, yes you could use wood, yes you could use alumnium, but what I love about your idea is its eco-creds... you could of course go to a nearest sign making store and ask for some corex board as a cardboard stiffner. to spend more using a laser cutter or get the steel made to the shape you have would all increase costs. a cheap stiffner is an old 30cm ruler that can be used to divide the partitions

Super skills bro I've seen so many videos on making the raspberry pi computer you had put everything just like the real laptop

Neat. I kinda like these type of projects since they are truly DIY. I mean not everyone has the money or the space for a 3D printer and most DIY channels rely way too much on them. If you are a kid or someone who just wants to do a project like this, if you 3d print your stuff that guy won't have any way of following your project.

thanks ,this is really helpful to me. keep your video posted I have subscribed

I love learning about electronics and computers, when I first watched this video I instantly subscribed, keep up the good work!

Excellent job dude. A laptop made by a man in a shed (so to speak) i love it.

Love the build! Im looking at that type of keyboard for a build of my own but i cant really see how wide it is after being cut out of the case. Would you happen to know its height and width?

Nice work man!

nice work man thats a awesome idea.

this beautiful video just made me subscribe, computer building is an art to me

Hey, I attempted a very similar thing, only I used the body and keyboard of a HP 200LX palmtop to house my raspberry pi. I'm pretty jealous of your keyboard, with my keyboard it's really tough to touchtype. And with 3 18650s I bet the battery life on yours is much better than on mine as well.

GREAT JOB BRO, AMAZING, where did u get the keyboard from?

Im lazy so I just bought a cheap small HDMI screen from Ebay a mini keyboard a portable charger for phones and a couple of hubs and that was my Raspberry Pi laptop build Its the simplest design with no need for soldering..

great video - now where did you get this RGB LCD HAT? i did not see it linked in your instructions. as an alternative i could also use a LCD control board that does not take up a lot of space or has thick connectors (HDMI is ok but VGA or chinch would make it too thick) i already have a 1024x600 screen that i salvaged from a broken tablet and it has a 50 pin TTL ribbon cable - would that work for the LCD HAT? i ordered a control board but it was the wrong one and is driving the display at 800x480 resulting in some weird blank spaces on the edge of the screen

I love how he's listening to RU-vid on the Pi while working on the rest of it lol

cool!! i want this one!

Awesome vid helps a lot

yo, do yourself a favor and buy a 3d printer. no more messing with that plastic goop.

Really nice job!

Hehe nice project. You really take the time to make this.

Surface:your home late RPI:I was just with my friends Surface:FRIENDS?! You stink at storage I swear I can't keep doing this.

Wow that's really cool

Cool video, loads of info

I love your DIY laptop

If battery like that tellings will it use more battery? If just adding a part of screen, but just display battery-only? If can on and off that part? If only use like "low %" = blinking light? Means saving battery, the setting for lights is by using the pi(program settings)?

Wow its amazing bro

Amazing job!!!

Really great video! I love it!

Nice this is really cool

So the dip screen has the cables and the thing used to plug into the 50 pin ribbon cable once you buy it in the descriptions correct

An alternative surface material would be Tolex, like in audio equipment. Great project by the way!

This is so amazing considering when I was a kid and all this pc stuff was just gaining ground a computer didn't have anywhere near the ability this tiny little thing has and they were extremely expensive. Now you can get a damn decent little computer for, well whatever this costs and people are making great things like this and the altioids box gaming system.

This seems really cool. I’m gonna buy a teensy and make a controller for a handheld controller

Dude! Indredible!

this is awesome!

this should be way more popular

An inspirational one, I should say. Thanks a lot!

Wow, this is amazing!

looks neat left a like hopefully will get a love

MAN, you are crazy and brave at the same time! Great job and great laptop (*_*)

This is very cool. I would make this so I can make arduino projects on the go on a tiny device if the raspberry pi’s weren’t over 100$

How much different is the process wrt the OLED and main-screen if I was to use a EPD instead for both?

I like the case, it gives the laptop nerdy look. Like "I needed a laptop, but I didn't want to go outside, so i ducttaped one from stuff lying around". Geek image points off the charts! :D Also, everyone realizes you propably start talking about Linux, so they keep off your personal space. Waaaay off. :D

A good hint is to use a old laptop or netbook case (you can buy them really cheap). Or even get from a non functioning one.

Really awesome

Hey men, what about the warming, do your laptop warms, cause the R pi, needs some ventilation to dont over heat. Thanks in advance.

This is really cool.

good job!

Awesome. Thank you :D.

There's another way to build the case without a 3d printer: cut plastic sheets, glue them up, pour epoxy resin and paint with spray. I've seen that on many custom mods that turn desk game consoles into handheld consoles, and it looks really well

Keep up your good work I look up to you and want to be like you

wow.. that is so cool

I love this build i told my friends that someone crossed raspberry pi and Adriano to make a laptop

Reminds me of a Thinkpad! AMAZING JOB!

dude,how many amps is your power bank board?Mine is supposed to be 3 amps max,but my PI keeps rebooting when running from from it-but it runs on wall psu?

Hello, can you explain the magnet charging thing? It has a lithium ion charger module to reduce the micro usb charge but then you connect two magnets to the end of the wires. Do you solder the wire endings to the magnets or wrap them around? It doesn't interfere with magnet magnetic fields and the magnet magnetic fields with the charge?

Very nice idea. You should really invest in 3d printer or CNC milling machine. With any of these you can build pretty looking machine. For CNC I would suggest making it in wood. I also think it would e better to use battery packs. I would also put FPGA inside it instead Arduino, just for the heck of it :P

This looks great! Subbed!!!

I'm using a 10400mah power bank bank battery what resistance should I use please tell.

i like the case!

That is awesome

Just found this. Could you use a CM4 instead of unsoldering all the stuff from a standard RPi no matter the version(3,4,etc) ?

Subbed!

I wish these were sold in stores. I'd buy one! Also, I have the model of tablet case shown at 01:19.

You are criminally under-subscribed

How did you get your touchpad to right click and 2 finger scroll?

Brilliant!!

i always wondered, can u output to the hdmi at the same time?

Good job

Wow , what an idea ,

I thought it was puny till he was typing on it

Are you not worried about keeping the batteries balanced when charging them? This setup would worry me a bit as time went on and they begin to wear out.

Please, what is its advantages if compared with laptops avialable on the market?

how did you get Steam installed on it, I have the Pi Zero and want to install Steam on it but cant get it installed?

3:28 That charger is made for 1C that means it is designed to charge one lithium ion cell.It is possible to do it with that charger,but i do not reccomand it.Also,if you are using multiple batteries,buy a balance charger,over time the batteries cand make a huge gap of voltage between them and then discharge between them. Eighter way,i loved it so much.I wold try to build it but i can't afford all the parts.
