The project uses a custom dual layered PCB designed by me for standard through hole (2.54mm) components. Please verify if the case design will work with your PCB thickness before printing the case. If not, you will have to modify the case’s design. Please ensure that your PCB thickness is less than 2mm.

Male Headers (or stackable female headers).

A Raspberry Pi Pico (both models should work).

I cannot be held accountable for any unexpected issues or damages that may arise from their use.

The PCB schematics and 3D designs are provided for your personal use and responsibility. ⚠️Please note that fabricating the PCB and the case should only be done by those with sufficient expertise to verify and adjust the design as necessary. Many aspects of the project are configurable, which I will discuss during the assembly instructions.

I have used Fritzing for creating the PCB, Tinkercad for designing the case and CircuitPython for programming the display. The idea was to create a cool gadget that can sit on your desk and show off some cool information. The schematics for the PCB and the 3D printed case have been made available by me under Creative Common License in the project’s Github repository: code2k13/pipico_desk_display This is a tabletop hackable display made using Raspberry Pi Pico, 1.8 inch TFT LCD, a custom designed PCB and 3D printed case. The idea is to create a customizable portable display, powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico that can be used in various ways. This article will help you build just that. Do you ever wish having a programable display sitting on your desk showing off cool things like memes.
