Here is a live demo of PocketSSH, a project that turns the ESP32-S3 T-Deck Plus into a fully functional, portable SSH terminal. With its physical BlackBerry-style keyboard and trackball, this device allows me to manage servers, check local networks, and even control AI models right from the palm of my hand.

In this video, I test the limits of this microcontroller by connecting to a Google Cloud VM, managing local Raspberry Pi clusters, running network scans, and interacting with a local 1-bit LLM for privacy-focused AI.

Key Features:
- Full SSH2 Protocol: Using libssh2 for secure encrypted communication.
- Portable Admin: Running neofetch on GCP and arp-scan on local networks.
- Privacy AI: Interacting with Microsoft's 1-bit LLM running locally on a Pi 5.
- Remote Control: Triggering a 1-inch sensor camera via Google Cloud.
