RPI4 "Laptop"

So holidays are coming up and as usual I have slightly more time to try to learn and do some projects. However, I don't fancy carrying around a big heavy gaming laptop. I just don't want to carry it around when flying. Takes too much space and weight when you consider both the laptop and the charger.

It's not ideal but I have a RPI4 8GB with the 7" touch display around so... why not use that? Plan seems easy enough, print a stand, get a wireless keyboard with touchpad and a USB3.0 SSD for good measure. Plus I have a massive powerbank I can run it off if need be.

Using this stand from https://www.printables.com/model/628991-stand-for-raspberry-pi-7-inch-touch-screen-display

It's not the fastest thing but I want to be able to do some experiments. For the curious I am trying to experiment using

• Clang and LLVM (know nothing about it, just got curious because ceedling on windows is a bit slow with MSYS2 GCC and thought this might be faster, not that it matters when running linux)

• Clang static analysis tools (because now I'm down that rabbit hole)

• ESP32-C3 based temperature sensors with possibly open-thread. Trying to use ESP-IDF for the first time.

• More Ceedling experimentation, maybe try to get it working on target?

Can't say I've been enjoying working with ESP-IDF so far, mostly miss having a debugger but I suppose that's a problem with the hardware I chose. As usual I am in too deep in trying too many new things but let's see how it goes.
