My idea is to run a couple of servers on the Pine 64+ 2Gb (sync server, cloud print server, small NAS and a VPN server) and I was thinking if is posible to do an Access Point.

Can the Wifi/Bluetooth module make that (I mean the Official one)?

Or do I need another USB Antena?

So I'm ordering the IoT kit , and I'm very new to all SBC's . I'm just learning about all of this and was wondering if there is a sticky or guide that explains what the modules do. 

I feel kinda lost , I need to order extra boards for my sensors and those talk via wifi to the main IoT pine64 sbc ?

This version is for Pine A64 1GB and 2GB Ram board only.

Hi,

In the description of the z-wave module for pine64, it is described as a "z-wave" module, not a "z-wave plus". So this is an old implementation of the specs. Correct ??

Then, what API will be available ? z-wave is not an open sourced protocol, will we get an API licensed from the "z-wave owner" ?

The description of the lithium battery states that it ships internationally for IoT, Media Box, and Playbox packages.

Is this limited to a single battery or is it possible to order several batteries with a single playbox package ?

hello, are you guys working on a javascript library to control the GPIO or it will be the same as the raspberry pi ?

I Havant got mine yet (its on its way hopefully, my kickstarter pledge said "March").
However, i'd love to get a heads up with my project.
Is there a decent ARM Emulator out there that works with windows, so I can start creating an OS on an SD card.

VirtualBox and VMWare doesn't have Processor emulation.

I know QEMU does, but that seems to have some weird Voodoo and it feels like I spend more time figuring out how to use it or start a VM - than I do actually using it.  I'm sure its good if you have a PHD in rocket science, but I don't.
any help or hints would be great.

If I need to build a Linux VM, then use that to build the OS for Pine64, then I'll do that instead.
(there seems to be a lot of stuff about creating ARM QEMU, but all the instructions are about building it under Linux - the forums seem to be riddled with fan-boys who aren't very "window users" friendly and start getting cocky when you mention "can I do this under windows"). 

I'm in Canada and cannot get the battery shipped to me and there's seems to be lots of confusion on which batteries will work.   Can we get a list of compatible batteries with links so we can order them easily? Ebay links would be great  .

Another question does the AC to DC PSU actually charge the battery as well?

Hi,

Was wondering if order would be shipped (to Australia) via door-to-door style courier, or if it would end up in Australia Posts' system? This impacts the delivery address I will use (parcel locker or direct to business).

Thanks.
