I've been looking at something similar lately, love this project. Looks simple enough, might be a fun thing for me to tackle lol

[@ModernHobbyist]

Absolutely go for it! Glad you enjoyed it!

An idea for a revision, since you have the two batteries, could you design the case to hold the plug aligned and captive and swap the batteries like a cartridge?

[@ModernHobbyist]

Oooooh that’s a good idea!

Awesome project, Charlie! I’ve been looking for a cheap 7-10” touch display to use for a StreamDeck alternative (using Touch Portal). This build looks like just what I need!

[@ModernHobbyist]

Thanks Travis! And thanks for the project idea!

Wait, you built the junk ass wood frame for the video… because you built it after the pla frame first, although you edited the video differently… why?
