<t>I currently have an old netgear router i've been looking to do something similar one. didn't know about dead drops( very cool and just found out there is one not far from where I live). but the levels of interface that a ras-p system could deliver would be amazing. ( and what about one for a perm...

<t>On the whole subject of the charging board I with use a so16 to dip16 converter/ demo boards available on ebay for not alot of pennies. and make the desiging on a breadboard to what the datasheet shows with standard size components. make sure it works first.<br/> Then transfer the components to v...

The Raspberry Pi is an amazing idea. even better that it being shipped as a pcb with rubber feet.( or at least I am on the understanding it is)
This gives the perfect opportunity to make your very own enclosure. I like the idea of encasing it in clothing. what about you?

<t>Joking aside I have butchered several of these light units they all contain a NiMH battery and solar cells with a voltage pump. given the solar cell is next to as useful as a chocolate teapot but the availability of the rechargeable battery\'s are without question. with something like a 7805 of m...

With a bit of side ways thinking you could build your very own for about 5-6 pounds re-engineering poundland solar garden lights and a usb phone adapter. which I find far more fun that buy something off the peg.

I know it is abit late in the day for this but is it possible that the board could have headers (pined or unpined) for external regulated supplies without the wattage overhead.

something that small and cheap I like the idea of soft electronics I think I would sow it inside some baggy jeans with a in arm mounted lcd and some sort of finger operated HID (human interface device). lots of leds have to be used on the gpio ports.

<r>Hi<br/> I'm gee, hobby electronic engineer, geek, open source nut and brewer of fine beer. I love the idea that affordable personal computing is coming back striped to the bone and placed in the hands of the very people that fuelled the previous mass programming movement. I think this could be as...

For all my electrical projects I has to be poundland every time. I have that many Tupperware project-boxes it is getting mad and you can decorate them whatever way you like. excuse the pun but I think the raspberry pi board as a whole need alot of thinking outside the box.
