In case any of you are curious about this device, Linus of LTT was able to use one for a bit. I still think it looks like an interesting option for a ground station device.
I’m thinking of using it in a ground station kind of like this cool one. I’d use the Steam Deck instead of the Raspberry Pi. My tentative plan is to use a similar style of case to hold a battery, keyboard and largish monitor.
Years ago I used a microcontroller to interface a PlayStation 2 controller with a touchscreen and radio module.
I’m really hopeful the Steam Deck an be used as a controller for UAVs and other robotic contraptions. I’m really glad they are not locking the system down with proprietary software.
