up to no good

i shouldn't be surprised that this works but i needed a win

i can now type a post with the nc100 keyboard

it's happening!!!

i need to make permanent fittings for everything and get much thinner and shorter cables to plug everything together without spaghetti spilling out of every orifice, and then figure out a power solution (i'd like something that the pi can battery monitor on, which seems like nobody has ever done, everybody just plugs a powerbank and prays) but the main concept is solid

and oh yeah the screen is capacitive touch so mouse input is sorted too

yes, it does

never assume that just because the connector is the same the polarity is.. i've now repinned the battery but not before probably killing this UPS HAT

which specifically has no diode protection
