Not ideal for tablet use as the back isn't flat (Pi and driver board attached to it). You'd also need a power supply! I don't have any scales to hand but with screen + Pi + driver it feels about as heavy as my iPad Air. It&#x

I've just confirmed with the foundation that the display will be controllable from software but the current Raspbian image doesn't have it yet - this will allow you to turn off the screen and backlight while leaving the Pi runni

Neither does the Raspberry Pi - the user base is pretty used to halting and pulling the power. The display driver board backpowers the Pi itself so there is no change of process for existing users there.

It's also pretty great as a screen for your development/hacking Pi when you need to debug issues. I use two 27" monitors on VESA arms and the display is short enough that I can just tuck it underneath. The relative low dot pi

Hey Mike, we sell the screen with a custom stand. The price quoted on the Pi blog is screen only.

Totally off-topic but we'd love better coverage down-under (as would our customers!) if you'd be interested in potentially distributing some of our range. :-) We do mostly Raspberry Pi stuff including HATs and cases which we manuf

Heya! The kits are currently only available via the Kickstarter - we'll be making them available generally after we've shipped all of the Kickstarter units.

Hey! 1. The cables have a "twist" internally so they electrically match if you if you attempt to "loopback". They'll also have custom branding on the ends to make it clear they are not USB cables. 2. The modules&#x2

Definitely nothing you can't un-see - it's just terribly jarring for me. I pretty much find anything (that doesn't have inherent motion blur baked in - like film/tv) below 45 frames per second painful to watch - however

I've seen 30Hz in action on a couple of panels and there is no way I can stomach it!

The SOC doesn't support more than 512MB of RAM (or USB3). Raspberry Pi is built to a price point above all else - you could keep adding/upgrading features but you'd just end up way out of their target price.

This kind of action from big names is absolutely crucial to halt the ridiculous situation we're faced with. I'd happily put up with "protest slow-downs" every day of the week if it helps motivate the non-technical masses

I haven't run any anti-virus software for at least the past ten years either at work (Ubuntu), on my laptop (OSX) or at home (Windows 7). To the best of my knowledge I've never succumbed to a virus and have certainly never seen an

Drop me an e-mail (details in profile) we're definitely looking for e-paper/ink options at the moment! Glad you're a fan of the Pibow! :-)

Hey that is really nice! Are you interested in looking for a way to get them manufactured?

Andrew came to see us the other day and chat about their vision for Linux Voice. They know what they are doing and all have a solid publishing background so we can't wait to see how it turns out. It's a really refreshing approach

If it bridges the gap until you can get the donation stream idea up and running I'll wing you $50 to keep things running this month. Don't like the idea of something that so many rely on just dropping off the radar like that! I am
