What I really want is to use the Rasperry Pi as both a computer system and a throw away embedded module.
So I would want something like this when I program the Rasperry Pi to say control a robotic arm somewhere. Then I want to be able to pull the rasperry pi out of this tablet and actually place it in the robotic arm module.
So if I have several projects going on like auto fish feeder and / or auto plant waterer.... I want to be able to bring the tablet around attach the rasperry pi to it too make changes.
While the demo looks like this is what is happening I'm assuming that the final product is basically like a phone, the pi is eternally stuck inside the tablet?
$200 is too much for something like a auto plant waterer but $30 for the pi is perfect for this. Therefore make the tablet interface a module to the pi. That's the whole point right? Otherwise why use the pi over my phone? there's no point.
- aeorgnoieang 7y agoWouldn't you be able to use this to develop whatever and then deploy your code to separate Pi module later?
- crimsonalucard 7y agoThat would require all my modules to be connected to wifi at all times.
- fragmede 7y agoPi Zero W is $10 including wifi. Even if you don't want to hook it up to house wifi, the zero can run its own hotspot so there's no need to connect/disconnect cables/sd cards to update programming. (Personally, I hate having to deal w/ microsd cards while I'm also repotting plants.)
