i have the 5 inch touch version and while it works very good, the hdmi ends up sticking way out which annoys the hell out of me, maybe you can find a better solution, just something looking ahead

fhlipZero

my two cents on what you seem to be looking to do, i recently did an A+ mounted FONA Pi Hat which could receive text messages, http://hackaday.io/project/4462-raspberry-pi-fona-pihat, and add a 16x2 rgb screen with buttons, you could have a very basic pager. https://www.adafruit.com/product/1110

fhlipZero

what are you using to tear your pi down? i have desoldered headers and all but hdmi and the bottom usb ports on every b+ ive had my hands on and recently did my Pi 2. I recommend keeping to a soldering iron and solder sucker, if cutting is necessary, https://www.adafruit.com/products/152 these were ...

fhlipZero

you could get real crazy and hollow out the old iMac, replace the screen with a generic Lcd that has an hdmi in (like what adafruit sell but I don't think they have any that big) then wire it all up inside the iMac case

put together this little write up on my project this week.

fhlipZero

yep, i had one set up headless for a while and did just that. One adapter would create an ad-hoc access point that i connected to using my iphone and an ssh client then the other would be in monitor mode for toying.

fhlipZero

if youre looking to battery power it, this board is a good start, https://www.adafruit.com/products/1944, i have one powering my my pi and 3.5 tft with a 2000mah battery

fhlipZero

i've seen this article so many times and the write up is entirely text and lacks a lot of the fun tear down pictures, would love to see what battery and what keyboard is used.

fhlipZero

love the look of these boards once they're trimmed down, I just trimmed down my b+ and am still trying to figure out where to move the usb, I might just rip my edimax apart and solder it directly to the board

fhlipZero

be careful with your display, mine flopped about so much that it broke a trace on the touchscreen.

this as well! i used those little 3M circle two sided stickies on mine and held up pretty good

fhlipZero

the 2.8 pitft from adafruit is great but its very small and not all that useful from my experiments, i highly recommend the 5" hdmi touchscreen though, im in the middle of making a small pi tablet out of one right now! https://www.adafruit.com/products/2260

fhlipZero

very interested to see a finished prototype of this, seems like a very cool idea especially as a tiny pirate box, only advise i have to give is to lookup which pins the pitft uses specifically and only run that many cables, pretty sure it only uses power and a couple more for i2c, good luck!

fhlipZero

very very cool, downloading now and look forward to playing with it, makes you think twice about any open ethernet ports and not running any type of ACL

fhlipZero

think im gonna do a quote of the day and use your cool html ripper there on adafruits daily quotes, always liked getting those on the invoices when from them

fhlipZero

TOTD is definitely cool and hahahaha im doing a cowsay just cause i have to now! good call

fhlipZero

I have assembled the adafruit thermal printer and cobbler and have been printing out everything i can think of!

Downside being ive now run out of things to print?

my question is what are some good dailys to print except the weather and current bitcoin price?

fhlipZero

this could actually be awesome, figure a board with say 5 or 10 compute module dimms on it, gotta find a way to get ethernet to be really useful though

fhlipZero

from pitftgpio import PiTFT_GPIO pitft = PiTFT_GPIO() while True: if pitft.Button1: print "Button 1 pressed - screen off" pitft.Backlight(False) if pitft.Button2: print "Button 2 pressed - screen on" pitft.Backlight(True) if pitft.Button3: print "Button 3 pressed" if p...

i too was not very impressed with PwnPi, ive been a long time backtrack user so Kali puts me right at home, cant seem to get dual usb wifi cards to work quite yet though since i run a headless Pi with one wifi for controlling and the other for attacks

fhlipZero

thats awesome!! how did you secure the board so it doesnt move around? that's the wall i hit every time i find something new to make a case out of

fhlipZero

I've seen numerous people asking the same things, so maybe we can start a sticky of notes people are keeping or something. But here is my little list of notes that i've had to use time and time again when rebuilding sd cards on debian squeeze, figured it would help someone else. wlan0 script WIRELES...

fhlipZero

been using mine the same way, this is the walkthrough i followed on debian squeeze, this same setup has yet to work for me on wheezy 1) edit the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and add the line blacklist rtl8192cu 2) Get hold of module file "8192cu.ko" either by compiling f...

i'd recommend one of these guys, been using one to power ipod speakers for a while, works great on my pi, and i even rigged it up to a cheap rc car, they hold great charge and seem to take abuse well, might be a perfect supply for your pico pi http://www.ebay.com/itm/6000mAh-USB-Portable-External-Ba...

fhlipZero

looks pretty good! beats the hell out of my acrylic disaster i made the other day

fhlipZero

Thats why you'd have to be a little bit tricky with it and at least set it up as a cloaked network, so now one of your adapters need to be hostap compatible. Make a script to ping out every 2 minutes like the last guy said and it should work pretty well
