Description

In this video, we're taking a look at one of the coolest do-it-yourself single-board computer projects out there: the all-new Waveshare PocketTerm35. This DIY handheld kit is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5. Buy It Here: https://www.waveshare.com/pocketterm35.htm?srsltid=AfmBOopNZFEX2HJx2KCW-MAsNLI9VkEVZdCDecgH5bh-2-7QWPUIk8qv I put together the kit using a Raspberry Pi 5 and a 5000mAh battery, walking you through the assembly of the metal front shell, dual speakers, and the 3.5-inch optically bonded IPS display. We check out the custom membrane keyboard, test its performance with RetroArch for GBA and Dreamcast emulation, and I share my plans to use this awesome little cyberdeck as a dedicated Arduino programmer for ESP32 projects Follow Me On Twitter: https://twitter.com/theetaprime Follow Me On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/etaprime/ Vip-URCDKey 25% code for software: ETA  Windows 11 Pro Key($25):https://biitt.ly/RUZiX  Windows 11 Home Key($23):https://biitt.ly/SQKqi  Windows 10 Pro OEM Key($20):https://biitt.ly/KpEmf  Windows10 Home Key($17):https://biitt.ly/2tPi1  Windows 10 LTSC 2021 Key($15): https://biitt.ly/W564e  Office 2019 pro key($63):https://biitt.ly/o0OQT 2016 pro key($32): https://biitt.ly/xWmvn  Buy Windows 11 Pro Key at: https://www.vip-urcdkey.com DISCLAIMER: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you! 00:00 - Introduction to the PocketTerm35 01:10 - What You Need for the Build 01:52 - Raspberry Pi 5 Installation 03:30 - Battery & Speaker Setup 04:34 - Hardware Overview & First Boot 06:05 - Custom OS Plans & Web Browsing 06:43 - RetroArch & GBA Emulation 07:46 - Dreamcast Emulation Test 08:37 - Final Thoughts & Review THIS VIDEO IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!
