The uConsole is a handheld computing device developed by ClockworkdPi that costs US$189. Its computing power is based on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, but other CPU options are also available. The uConsole comes with a 5-inch 1280x720 HD screen, keyboard, and battery module that takes two 18650 lithium-ion batteries.
The uConsole is also modular, allowing for expansion. We wanted to thank RTL-SDR.COM reader Sunny for sharing the news that a RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC/USB Hub All-In-One Extension Board for the uConsole will be available from HackerGadgets soon. This board includes a full RTL-SDR module, an SX1262 LoRa chip, a GNSS chip, a real-time clock chip, and a USB hub. The expansion board is currently advertised as being priced at US$78.99.
The expansion board is not yet available for sale, but you can join their waiting list to be notified of its release.
Over on YouTube 'Symbiiote' has released an early review video showing how to build the module into the uConsole and then showing it running SDR++ and receiving some broadcast FM stations.
