Hi everybody,
just a quick question - does the Wifi/BT module contain an antenna? The Pine64 shown in the youtube videos has some kind of an antenna/wire.... Just wondering whether I should buy an external antenna with U.FL connector or it comes with the module... there is no info about it on the survey page...
BR,
Peter
I received the survey, and of course added several items.
I originally pledged $36 to receive the 64+ with 2GB, and I believe they were to ship yet in Feb. I just did my survey and of course added some items. I thought I was careful not to add anything that would delay shipment, but upon completion I see the survey confirmation I received says estimated lockdown date of 04/15/16. After that my card will be charged and items will be shipped..... Did I add something that bumped my ship date? I went back into it and none of the items I added said anything about delayed shipping.
Here's what I added: 64GB MicroSD Card - 64GBAND
Qty: 1 x $18.24
USB Keyboard HUB.
Qty: 1 x $10.99
HDMI to VGA Adapter With Audio
Qty: 1 x $6.24
Wifi 802.11BGN/ Bluetooth 4.0 Module
Qty: 1 x $9.99
PINE64 5V 2A Power Supply - USA
Qty: 1 x $6.24
RTC Backup Battery - AAA Qty: 1 x $4.24
I'm sorry to bother, but I'm excited and don't want to wait for April to receive my board. I'd rather remove something from my cart. Am I understanding this correctly?
BTW, after I went back into my selection to double check for anything that indicated delayed shipping I simply closed the web browser tab without re-confirming. I didn't undo my submission did I?
Not sure if this has been answered anywhere, but is the acrylic case with the 4 pegs/supports the one that is included with the 4K Media package? This is what is says for my pledge:
Items included in your pledge

The PINE A64+ 4K Media Computer You will get the PINE A64+ 1GB unit along with 8GB MicroSD Pre-Loaded with Android 5.1. IR receiver and remote control, PINE64 Power Supply, and the PINE64 Enclosure.

As you can see, it doesn't specify which case is included.
on PINE website and kick-stater show that PINE A64+ 1GB have Gigabit Ethernet.
However, on Backerkit survey it show that PINE A64+ 1GB only have 10/100 Ethernet.
Please verify and confirm if PINE A64+ 1GB have Gigabit Ethernet or not

I had pledged the campaign ($29) plus 7 dollars shipping fee. I got a survey email and go to the website.. I saw there is option (PINE64 Boards) which we can add Pine64 board. My question is whether I need to choose/add the board, or not since I have a pledge (2gb board) already... Again I just only need one board for now....
Is the survey only for add-on module only? So we do not need to add the board! The board will be come with the addition modules which I add...
Hi. Does the aluminum case have room for the battery and touch screen as well, or does it just hold the board?
Also, are there any specs for the waterproof case's dimensions, especially in terms of weight? I didn't see any in the backerit store.
I'm a writer/photographer that does a lot of work in wilderness locations. Excited to get this and see what I can do with it in the Yukon this summer!
Thanks to the Pine team...and please try to ignore the haters! This is literally the best kickstarter project I've seen in terms of notifications, flexibility and overall professionalism.
I have received my survey and have a question about the wifi modules. There are two available:
Wifi + Bluetooth $9
Wifi only $13
I don’t understand which is better for wifi only use (I don’t need Bluetooth). Are there differences such as power and range?I see that the wifi only module has the ability to add an external antennae which should give it more range. Without knowing these difference it would make more sense to buy the lower cost one and get the added functionality of Bluetooth in case you need it in the future.
