Hyper-pi

by Rop Gonggrijp · Hard

A pocket-sized Raspberry Pi Zero handheld centered on Pimoroni's 4-inch HyperPixel touchscreen, with a rechargeable 2,500mAh battery.

Rop Gonggrijp built Hyper-pi as an experiment in a small, owner-controlled Linux communicator. The repository documents the tabletop prototype, software setup and printable enclosure files without pretending it can match a commercial phone.
