Yes this is his design - I had it printed in black - it uses metric machine screws - I purchased an assortment of lengths it goes together very tight and basically compresses the form of the DevTerm slightly - I had to sand the bit around the cover for the printer and I added a screw and nut so I could open the expansion port hatch to plug the printer in… It’s a nice addition and makes the unit a little more protected - his next mod was to add the visor hood but that adds a great deal of thickness to the unit and makes it hard to pack in my shoulder bag.
It looks good, and having the accessory mount on the side is a nice perk. I’m looking forward to seeing his same design for the uConsole!
Daaaaaaaaamn. Cool stuff.
I’ve used Scite and installed it on linux installations that can’t load notpadqq
also working with QGIS you need a larger screen (GPS/maps and geolocations)
KiCad works great. Just be forewarned that some dialog boxes are hidden behind the UI when you’re first loading the footprint library. Also recommend adding some custom shortcuts for Zooming.

KiCad on a uConsole seems very appropriate.
I use an external monitor on my DevTerm for the bigger environment applications - I had issue with several HDMI adapter cables till I came across one that would work - it has to do with the depth of the HDMI plug and the thickness of the computer port plate…
Basically want to make a suite for sensing/processing data for several pourposes (science-research) and might need the raspberry pi and cut here and there to have a reduced version to develop from there <3!.
Poffff here we goooo!!!. If any have things like that in GitHub send something guys :D!! Would be interning to know what she everyone doing!.
This is an ESP32 application - but the next software version will be to host the data on an Hosted webpage on the device itself… but UDP packets to the uConsole would work - I’ve done that from a Raspberry Pi to a Win10 machine running LabView…

Love it! In my case I want to use temperature detectors also using
the Arduino system as a base. There is also some code for wave calculations and wave spectra I made that I need to upload. I suppose there has to be someone working on sea sensors too.
to integrate everything into a reliable and cheap buoy system would be awesome!.

PVC pipe ! I made an LED lamp using PVC pipe and clear acrylic … when I put voltage to it … it looks like a light saber… (not my intent) but it does put a great deal of light out - is rugged, and runs on 12 volts DC - so I’m a big believer in PVC pipe construction from hardware stores!

Did not know this would work - not going to do it but it could fit where the printer goes on the DevTerm:
The main board has: 40 Pins GPIOs expansion interface (using standard 0.5mm FPC connector)
and there is a break out board:

I think i remember reading about someone making some kind of GPIO extension like that so people could make expansion cartridges for the DevTerm…
found it: EXT Cartridge Module
But another thing to consider with the DevTerm GPIO (and probably the uConsole too since they use almost the same hardware) is the lack of pins that arent already in use.
See here: The booby-trapped DevTerm GPIO

excellent point - forgot about IO already being used - I’m back to ESP32’s doing external tasks and UDP back to uConsole/DevTerm solution again…
I’m using yokadi on the beepy and it is a great command line tool for to do list , event tracking etc. will definately install on uconsole - it even runs on a pi zero!

Because i haven’t had much time lately to tinker i have just been using my uConsole as a basic computer. I have been using it for lazily SSH-ing into my servers from bed, troubleshooting my homelab and network, and occasionally logging in to check/do/submit homework assignments. Im kinda surprised how fast i can type on this clicky keyboard, i originally thought i would hate it.

i am jealous lmfao (20 chars blah blah blah)
You have any issues with double strikes with keypresses?
The keyboard has been good. No issues with double input, missing input, intermittent keys, or any other input issues.
