The Typeframe is modeled after the Epson PX-4 and looks like a twin. The 7.9" LCD is also a touchscreen. I chose a Raspberry Pi 5 and an inexpensive ready-made keyboard. It's all powered by a 10 Ah battery and charges with USB-C. And lots of 3D printing and cable management.

Ever since I saw the Typeframe (a DIY writerdeck or cyberdeck), I wanted to build one. And so I did! I tweaked the design here and there to fit what I had on hand and my tastes. Here's the result. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I also cobbled together a systray icon for the battery status using Python. It retrieves the battery info from the Power Management Hat over serial and updates the systray icon as needed. The tooltip shown appears when you mouse over or tap the battery icon.

I added an internal speaker (from an old iPad) and headphone jack to my Typeframe. Since I used a Pi 5 with no on-board analog audio, I used a USB audio dongle.

I was delighted to learn of the simplicity of switching 3.5mm headphone jacks. They have 5 poles instead of 3. The audio source and internal speaker are wired to the headphone jack pins. They're normally closed and the internal speaker works. Plug in headphones, it switches. So simple!

Introducing the Re-Cyber-Lab (https://blog.solarcene.community/posts/2025-11-20-introducing-re-cyber-lab/) which is a small rack of 3x Samsung A5 (a5y17lte) running #postmarketos built into a #pelican case recycled #cyberdeck. It's a combination of lots of current trends including #miniracks and #homelab. I'm currently using it to work on #postmarketos projects.

It certainly ain't perfect and the a5y17lte while chosen as its cheap and not terribly spec'd only has a very old 'downstream' kernel (3.8.140) which has made things a lot harder - so my next job is to 'mainline' it or at least try to.

Typeframe PX-88 is a Raspberry Pi-powered CyberDeck inspired by a portable PC from the 1980s

The Typeframe PX-88 is a modern computer with a retro design that’s inspired by the Epson PX-4, a portable computer released in 1985. But this is a fully modern device with a flip-up touchscreen display, a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B for brains, and a USB Type-C port, among other things.

You can’t actually buy a Typeframe PX-88. But you may be able to build your own, because designer Jeff Merrick […]
