@mimas2AC my BOM with appx price in CAD
- Boox Poke 3 (250$)
- Mech keyboard with swapable switches (50$)
- Battery pack (40$)
- LoRa WAN with Antenna (35$)
- USB C right angle flat cable (10$)
- USB right angle adaptor (10$)
- Logitech Keyboard soft Case (20$)
I already had a flat battery pack, and I found the keyboard soft case in a garage sale (for 25Cents). Also keep in mind you can use any newer ebook with USB C to connect to the wired keyboard. The flat cable is only used to minimize the ammount of wires floating around. For some reason the usb C to usb C able doesn't work for the kerboard + tablet.
cyberdeck — This is my wip, a mechanical keyboard with a boox tablet, running android, (termux, fdroid, meshtastic, uxn, lagrange, koreader) with a LoRa Radio connecting trough bluetooth. I haven't had a change to really get this device on the LoRa network as there are no mesh around here. This is the next development needed.
