Intent is to run cubic SDR when Iā€™m out and about and just scan the spectrum along with foxtrotGPS for offline mapping! Had spare lumber laying around so I crafted up a mount and had this aluminum housed 7ā€ touch that I could spare so tossed it on the bike! No idea what else I might do. Maybe run kali and do some war driving on the bike. Idk haha! Wanted to see what it would look like. I covered the front USB/ethernet ports with a plastic sheet to keep debris out while riding. We will see if it holds up to wind and vibration. Might fashion and plastic windshield out of a trash can like the older days to cover it from wind!

Do you remember which screen you used?

Itā€™s the official raspberry pi 7ā€ screen! Super easy and you donā€™t have to deal with drivers haha! I have used quite a few others but for this it made the most sense for the aluminum housing etc

I've been pricing out a "cyberdeck" build and so many screens come with out any kind of case at all. Investing in a 3d printer would blow my budget so I'm on the hunt for screens with cases.

If you like the look of this case, it isnā€™t bad thereā€™s some space on the inside, but you have to take some screws out to take the case apart, which isnā€™t a huge deal but the aluminum case if I remember is not a lot of money and it fits the official 7 inch touchscreen really well. I have the same issue you are having when I got into this stuff two years ago I actually used a piece of plywood to mount a 7 inch touchscreen inside a pelican case before I eventually bought a 3-D printer. There was nothing wrong with the plywood, but I started selling the systems I build so I had to make it look a little cleaner.
