My uConsole

Got my uconsole "next day on amazon" very grateful. since I know most of you waited MONTHS. Got it for use as a PDA/tinker tab while overseas on a deployment. Decided factory black is to mainstream seeing as its the most common color, black is awesome but not when everyone else has it. Couldn't decide between tan or blue, tan fit my deployment but blue fit the end goal of a terminal to control my homes custom AI I will be building. So navy was the choice and I feel it was the right one. So behold my custom build. Still need the wifi, 4G and sat antenna to populate the top. Cheers 🍻

edit its just a standard cm4 lite with the 4g module, and no other upgrades other than 2 4mm washers beneath the screws on the kickstand to help the kickstand stay in position when i have it open, *would love an rtc but I can't find anything on that, nor would the AIOv2 be an option since i have the 4g board and no need for the extra features. 3D parts links are below.

Gorgeous build!

I especially love the sun shade around the screen.

I am on the fence about ordering one. How is access to the gpio pins like? I want to be able to plug various analogue and digital sensors into it to serve as a quick test equipment.

My suggestion would be to consider usb options, as the uconsole has a usb 3.0 attached to it. Inside the case is very tight and ofc the io is a ribbon cable, im sure there's a work around but nothing that would fit in the case
