I Built a $50 Mini Cyberdeck (Cardputer ADV Mod)

Build your own custom dual-screen DIY cyberdeck for under $50! This project is the ultimate upgrade to the M5Stack Cardputer, featuring a 2.8" ILI9341 TFT LCD touch panel and running Porkchop firmware for wireless engineering and hardware prototyping projects. In this video, I’ll show you how to build the hardware, 3D print the enclosure, and bridge the displays using custom code. Whether you're interested in embedded systems, RF diagnostics, or building a portable network diagnostic tool, this guide covers everything you need to build your own cyberdeck. 🛡️ SPONSOR: Master AI Security with TryHackMe!
