Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Is it a portable CMM2? Yes, it is  

I put my CMM2 inside a box with a VGA HDMI converter and an USB Hub and I fixed it behind a portable 15" monitor.

Now I only have to connect 2 cables to play with my CMM2. The keyboard and the USB power cable.

The next step is to replace the duct tape for a better solution. Maybe something 3D printed.

It's a ViewSonic 15.6 inch portable monitor model VG1655

The USB hub is being used for distribute power to the monitor, CMM2 and the VGA to HDMI adapter. It should be a good USB hub to support all devices power consumption. I'm using a Unitek 4-Ports USB 3.0 model Y-3089A.

The VGA to HDMI adapter is a Cable Matters VGA to HDMI model 103070-black

Nice one. I've been toying with the idea of getting a vga to Lvds adapter and seeing if I can make a laptop style cmm2.
