Welcome to our PiBerry 1.5+ Guide
The PiBerry is the ultimate cyber handheld for enthusiasts, designed with minimalism and open-source principles at its core. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started with your PiBerry unit.
### Overview
The PiBerry is a versatile and customizable handheld device that brings together the power of a Raspberry Pi Zero and the functionality of a Blackberry keyboard with a trackpad. With its compact design, the PiBerry is perfect for those who love to tinker and build their own cyber gadgets.
### Compatibility and Assembly
One of the best features of the PiBerry is its flexibility. The printed circuit board (PCB) is compatible with various components, and the unit can be assembled with minimal to no soldering. It’s designed to host a Raspberry Pi Zero horizontally on the back, paired with an Adafruit 3.5" display + touch screen, and a Blackberry keyboard with a built-in trackpad that functions like a cursor.
**Parts Required:**
- **Raspberry Pi Zero 2W**: A powerful yet small microcomputer that forms the heart of your PiBerry.

- **Display**: Adafruit PiTFT Plus 3.5" touchscreen for clear, responsive visuals.

### Powering Your PiBerry
Most phone battery packs are sufficient to power the PiBerry, providing 5V at 1A. This makes it easy to find a power solution that works for your needs.
### Future Updates
