I designed and built this back in 2023, because I wanted to push the boundaries on a relatively compact handheld based on a Raspberry Pi. I combined the `Raspberry Pi CM4` with the `BigTreeTech Raspberry Pad 5` and spent many hours developing a case.
The device is able to show the battery status in Raspberry Pi OS because of an Arduino-based microcontroller that communicates this information directly to the Pi via I2C.
I wrote an extended article on the evolution of this project:
