Now that I've finished the initial build, there are several enhancements I'm considering. But rather than rushing into these upgrades, I plan to start actively using the cyberdeck. This hands-on approach will allow me to identify the most valuable enhancements based on my actual usage and experience, ensuring that any updates made are practical and beneficial.
Here are a few examples of the improvements I'm considering:
- While typing, the 8bitdo game controller tends to shift or even fall off. By integrating magnets, I can secure the controller in its place.
- To make the device more energy-efficient, I'm thinking of adding buttons to switch off accessories when they're not in use. For instance, I could turn off the main and secondary displays to save power.
- I'm also considering making the GPIO pins accessible. By converting them into pushbuttons, I could program them to perform specific functions, like activating the GPS or running custom scripts, and so on.
