I am hoping to not only get more Pines, but also use one of them as a tablet. I have the wifi module and the camera on order. I did not order the screen because I am waiting for the battery and case. Once I can order all three I will get the stuff to order those. I MAY try my hand at building a Lego Tablet case just for grins, but I am not sure exactly what all it will entail. I have a battery I am trying to see if I can get to work but it is only +/- no temp sensor and I am not sure if I need to do something to make it work, I will probably ask in the noob channel there is notation on the schematic but it is unclear. I may go ahead and put the screen on order and then when it comes I can use it to have a go at a tablet case, I am thinking about it now, and I have an idea for a locking mechanism from Technic blocks that will allow it to be opened like a book... I may have to play around with the idea some.
I was turned on to the Udoo by Tarjei85 who I hold completely accountable for my friend buying me one, when I showed it to him. It has an Arduino on board and WILL be able to run SteamOS! But that is a long way out. For now I am going to be tricking my pine to think its 32 bit so I can get BOINC going to run seti data. One of the things I may go ahead and do is get ten of the 1gb units over time and run them as an array to crunch data for Seti... I wanted a reason and Dave over on EEVBlog gave me the idea when he demoed the OrangePi1 I think it was called. Anyways, I will probably buy a few at a time, and may build a Lego case for the lot! Besides, we all could use a small super computer to crunch data and maybe we will one day find Extra Terrestrials! As Dave put it, Because... Aliens.... Bout sums it up I think. My son has some really neat alien heads that are not Star Wars, I think I will confiscate them for the array build and have little E.T.s studying the strange monolithic device... OOOO yeah, Black Lego Monolith SETI number cruncher powered by Pine Inside! I AM SO THERE!
