The Raspberry Pi is a wonderful possibility for sprucing up your house life, however what for those who wished to take it on the go? That’s the place initiatives like this one from Davide Marchetti with Bag Builds (opens in new tab) comes into play. He’s taken the Raspberry Pi and some additional equipment and packed them right into a cell platform inside a backpack.
Along with his Pi-powered backpack system, Marchetti is prepared for all kinds of “outside hacktivities” as he places it. It features a bunch of enjoyable instruments starting from a sound system to a HackRF antenna, so he’s prepared for something enjoyable and critical that may come his method whereas out and about. However, in fact, a level of flexibility comes with all-in-one rigs like this—which is a part of its enchantment—so pinning its goal on one aim is difficult.
This bag construct is simply that, a construct. Marchetti didn’t toss all of the parts in a sack, zip it up and name the job finished. As an alternative, this rig entails a custom-made body designed to mount all parts inside rigorously, defending them whereas transferring and simple to entry as wanted.
Marchetti was form sufficient to share a whole elements record of every thing he put inside for anybody all for establishing their very own or one thing comparable. It’s powered by a Raspberry Pi 4, however you could possibly simply swap it out for a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ if that’s what you’ve got readily available, however a 4 B can have extra energy to again it up.
Along with the Pi, it additionally options two exterior storage gadgets, together with one HDD and one SSD. It has one Linksys WRT1900ACS router, a Wi-Fi adapter, a GL.iNet OpenWrt router, and a HackRF machine utilizing an antenna with assist from 1 MHz to three GHz. It additionally incorporates a docking station with Thunderbolt 4 and a Thunderbolt NVMe. To maintain issues cell, it depends on a 250Wh battery.
