PiKvm Case with RJ45 ATX Connector and OLED

DISCLAIMER: This is not trivial to build. You need understanding of electronics, Linux and basic soldering skills. This Description is also not a great tutorial. If you do not understand what you read, this is not for you. Sorry.

Please see the official Docs: https://docs.pikvm.org/v2/

I used the following Parts:

• C790
• USB-C Splitter (see photos)
• Some Green RJ45 Breakout Boards (see photos)
• 128x32 i2c OLED
• Some small screws
• A very thin USB-C cable (see photos)

I got all of these at AliExpress, the listings there are changing rapidly, so I will not provide any links. If there is interest, I can publish multicolor versions of the logos. Initially it was designed for multicolor.

You will find schematics I used and images of the components in the extra folder.

You need to cut away a little bit of the RJ45 Breakout so it will fit next to the C790.

The RJ45 PCIE Connector should be compatible to the Original.
