Raspberry Pi 4 Portable Computer

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

This is my Version of a Raspberry Pi 4 Mobile Computer.
1st I've taken and old laptop screen and purchased a HDMI + DVI + VGA LCD Controller Kit from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=HDMI+%2B+DVI+%2B+VGA+LCD+Controller+Kit+NT68676+for+LTN121W4-L01+LED+Panel+1280X800&_sacat=0
A step down DC to DC converter to run the Pi 4 since it needs to be a 3 amp power supply. : https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=Car+Waterproof+DC-DC+Converter+12V+Step+Down+to+5V+Power+Supply+Module+3A+15W&_sacat=0 or here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=Mini+DC-DC+Step-down+Converter+Adjustable+Power+Module+3.3V+3V+5V+9V+12V+3NJ&_sacat=0
The LCD screen came from an old HP 2730, along with 2 batteries from the same 2730 Laptop.
Any LCD Screen will do as long as you get the correct LCD Controller.
LiPo Balance Charger : https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.XLiPo+charger.TRS0&_nkw=LiPo+charger&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=Mini+DC-DC+Step-down+Converter+Adjustable+Power+Module+3.3V+3V+5V+9V+12V+3NJ
Extra Cable to charge.
Any way enough from the list of parts there are more but will not post them here.
The Laptop Case is a work in progress and will be updated in the next few months.
This project was to get a portable Raspberry Pi and make it mobile. so far i haven't ran into any problems.
10-9-2019: I've updated the case to add your Pi3 or Pi4 with 2 sideded tape with out cutting out the holes, I've also added XT60 plug hole, and i've also added JST-XH 3s Balance Connector holes so you can just glue in the 3s plug, I've also added 30mm Fan mounts plus a Fan mount but the Pi location. This new Case is only good for the 2730 Monitors.
10-13-2019: I've updated the Lower Case with a higher Monitor Mount Block to mount the Laptop, I've also notched out the edges so the lip of the Mount can sit flat.
I've also made the Mid Keyboard wider to hold the current Keyboard.
I've also added break away uprights so the Opening where the Pi, Power plug, and 3S plug will not warp during printing.
