tummychow, 28 minutes ago: Interfacing (DSI, CSI, I2C, etc.) • Re: DSI LCD
It doesn't matter if you know how the hardware works. Again, you cannot actually write the driver. DSI is a physical interface, ie it simply refers to the way the connector is formed (plus a few standard instructions and pinouts,…

Eben, sorry to have to miss you. I’m in the middle of the country (Arkansas) and won’t be able to get there. We are going to be in England in March 31, April 1st and 2nd, 2012. Maybe then? I have been getting interest from the local college here with regards to some help with making cases (CAD department to prototype and they have a couple of injection molding machines they are not using). I am interested in setting up some kind of production here of the boards, but that is sort of new to me and I am still researching it. Maybe a co-op can be formed later as interest picks up.
Any way, have fun and I look forward to seeing the post from your trip.
Richard

If you read this in time, why not pop over to see the folk at Instructables.com (their stall will be in the “Hall of Science” in Queens)?

Raspberry Pi would be right up their street, and it would be really cool if you collaborated on a release event (say, some sort of contest with Raspi’s as a theme or prize).

Oh, if you get there, tell them Kiteman sent you.

Was at MakerFaire today and saw the alphaboard running (& met Liz & Eben ta muchly for the twiglets). The alphaboard is great and if the final board is half as good it’ll be fantastic

Really, really good to meet you, ukscone – thanks for providing some much-needed levity. We had a great time, and are still just about awake enough that we can still see straight. Enjoy those Twiglets!

  Aside from the first few hours with no monitor, I’d say overall it was a good day.

    God, the failure of the monitor to turn up had me spitting bullets. It *did* make for nicely lowered expectations in the crowd, though, so when it did arrive, things went better than we could have hoped for.
