I put together a 4U mini rack for testing embedded applications at work. It’s got a lab stack mini with a Pi4 (soon to be upgraded to Pi5!), and 2 custom modules to hold the microcontroller boards being tested. I’ve got a PoE switch from TP Link, and then a Nano KVM from Sipeed for controlling the laptop used to write the code from across the office since I’m lazy and don’t want to constantly be going back and forth.


I don’t currently have a good mount for the Nano KVM, but I’m printing out this rack adapter so I plan to whip up a mount for the backside of the rack to keep it a bit cleaner.
Figured I would post since it’s fully functional, even if I have some upgrades planned!
