I was wondering if it is possible to have fan-speed-controll automated on the pine. I got my hands on a fan similar to this and was planing to combine this with a 20x20 heatsink, but I dont want the fan to go on 9k rpm all the time.

In "worst case scenario" I guess I have to make a custom case for the pine so there is room to make a controll-unit using an Arduino nano but I hope there is an easier way to do this.

For the record I am going to go with Android as OS.

Hey everyone!

I have this thought of instaling pine64 into my car instead of the  crappy standart casette radio. I would really love to have the functionality to stream music via bluetooth from my phone to the pine64 and answer phone calls through it. the problem is streaming audio from android-to-android devices. i don't want to use an app for that. SO.. the question is: is it possible somehow to enable a2dp sink profile in the pine without third-party apps? I am no android developer but found some info on the web that lollipop suports a2dp sink.

Does anyone know any tutorials on this topic? is it possible for a non-developer to do?

any and all input is greatly appreciated thanks.

Has anyone been able to find any large LCD screens that utilize the MIPI connection that the Pine has? I have been looking around, but can't seem to find anything. Also, any idea how large of a screen the Pine can drive without requiring an external power source?

I was reading that the new Odroid C2 has a micro SD clock of 83MHz and a bus speed of SDR50 (up to 50 MB/s), and that the Raspberry Pi has a micro SD clock of 50MHz and a bus speed of SDR25 (up to 25MB/s). What is the micro SD clock and bus speed of the Pine 64?

Kickstarter backer RaspiBit, in the comments section, says:

"Guys please, add a directly pluggable lcd panel + RGB LEDs to show info and notifications, it would be a mix between this two things:

Adafruit Blue White 16x2 LCD 
+ 
Ledborg from Piborg

Now that we all are waiting for longer, it would be really nice to get such addon with the board."

I think he wants a combination of this and this. I said I would ask about it on his behalf.

If some one is interested in turning their Pine into a science fair project, a Mesh network node would be fun*.

*May not be applicable for all definitions of fun.

Pine64 corp when will you have Ubuntu linux ready?

You promised I think in one of the videos a demonstration of Linux on pine64. It would be good to see it now, especially since the delays.

Anyone know is we will get an eSata card / board?

I have a nuc and I wanted to upgrade its modem and hard drive both eSata and would love to recycle the old parts into the pine.

Thanks, vbipi

Good Evening,

I'm a semi-technical person and love the versatility of the Pine64, initially I was working out a way to use it as a media player (Like say, a noontec or astone player) off of my media server. Loving simple things as I do, I currently have a very basic setup with a QNAP box. Given that the newest (and most expensive) QNAP's interface directly to the TV through a HDMI port for playing media now I started to think about the Pine64 I ordered.

Given that I could fabricate a case, will the pine64 ever have a RAID module? It has all the other hardware to compete with a Mid-high range QNAP box if we could have that ability.

Given that I have enough hard drives around i can use UNRaid or some other distro (after I bumble my way through it) I like that i could eliminate a few pieces of tech quite easily.

What's the verdict?

TIA

Jamie

Is there available any Qt5 build for this board? I am using Qt5 in my software development and if there is any possibilities to build Qt5 with eglfs support for this board than I will think to get your board in my project.
