    I appreciate the "cobbling things together" and "salvaging parts" mindset of this build so much, it's crazy. I'd love to start experimenting with electronics more, but every time I watch a video on builds, they always include a 3D printed case, or 3D printed parts. Ain't got no money for that where I come from (like a true dystopic future)

    This is basically my introduction to the idea of a "cyberdeck" kinda like a computer art project/genera, I like the sliding trackpad idea, though the idea of it coming to the edge of the front of the case seems like it would get on my nerves personally, might inspire me to make a computer project for purely aesthetic satisfaction

    • @stormburn1
      @stormburn1 Před 2 lety +2

      It’s almost certainly VNC (you can see the icon on the top bar too). As far as I’ve been able to find, there’s no way to use lightning-plug iPads as wired displays (might be for USB-C models, but I don’t have one to test with). This method requires connecting the Pi Zero (W, since it needs WiFi for VNC) to WiFi with a normal display first, so it’s not super portable.
      I’ve seen some mentions that it might be possible to have a Pi act as a WiFi host device so you can connect to it directly without a router, but haven’t gotten around to investigating that further myself.
