The Typeframe project is a collection of open-source hardware and software for building writerdecks/cyberdecks.
The first model, the PX-88, is a portable-ish computer inspired by the Epson PX-4. The goal was to create a writerdeck that could be used with modern web-based editors.
- Mechanical Keyboard: A detachable 65% keyboard with hot-swappable switches.
- Touch Screen: No mouse needed.
- One Power Connection: A USB-C port that powers the device and charges the battery.
- Raspberry Pi 4 B: Powerful enough to run web-based editors like Google Docs.
- Software Setup: A distraction-free laucher, boot splash images, and set up for keyboard shortcuts for screen brightness.
- Easy to Build: Minimal soldering required (just the power switch and status light!)
The second model, the PS-85, is a rugged barebones slate-style portable computer inspired by the Alien universe
- Carrying Handle: A sturdy handle for easy transport.
- Exposed GPIO: Access to all GPIO pins for tinkering or adding your own Bonnets.
- MU/TH/UR LED Matrix: An optional 9x16 LED matrix, just for fun.
- Mechanical Keyboard: A 40% keyboard with hot-swappable switches.
- One Power Connection: A Micro USB port that powers the device and charges the battery.
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2W: Low power and compact.
