What will you be using your PINE64 for?

[Nilocsemliw]

I also did the $89 Dollar Backer kit, and can't wait to get my hands on it, but I am also QUITE interested in the partnership with PicoCluster. How long do you estimate before you will be able to supply them with enough boards for a 3 or 5 node PineA64 Cluster kit?? I would definitely be after one of those as well.

While I am an experienced PC/IT tech, this is my first foray into SBC's.... I am looking to see exactly WHAT one could do with such a multi-node PineA64 Cluster? It will also be a learning experience for me to familiarize myself with the Android architecture. I also have a Dell S2340T Touchscreen and I'd like to see what I can come up with using that with either a single PineA64, or the previously mentioned Cluster. Would love to experiment with it as a Home Automation/Security unit as well. Lots of ideas, but I need to understand the entire platform better to truly realize what can be done with it. I would DEFINITELY be interested in ADDING more modules to my backer kit. Will there be a way for me to do that BEFORE it ships so I can get everything I'd like to have all at once??? Will backers have exclusive access to the available modules first???

We have 3 nodes that we're working with right now to build enclosures for. We'll post progress on the designs as we can. For most of the stuff we're looking at, we need a stable Linux distro. A lot of that will fall on Pine's shoulders. Once we get a stable linux, we can start publishing benchmarks for everyone.

Heh, seems like you have a lot of ideas!

When you get sent your Backerkit email in a week or two, you will get the option then, at that point, to add additional units, upgrades and modules/accessories. These will all ship at the same time, in the same package, as your kickstarter reward.

SkairkrohBule,

Like your M.U.L.E

I was starting to wonder if your Avatar was from an old video game with its 8bit styling. I guess i have to try this game out now!

Now that the Kickstarter is successful and the boards are pretty much ready to ship, what do you guys plan on doing with your PINE64 boards?

I intend to use mine for an autonomous robot project and I will be posting about it on nanite.co for anyone who is interested in following my progress.

This will be my first single-board computer (RaspberryPi is always sold out). The first task that I have in mind is Media Center. I'd really want to build a JARVIS system also.

They have always had them in stock when i have ordered them. Even the RPi 2 that I bought on the first day I heard that it was available. I guess I have been extremely lucky. I haven't ordered any since my RPi 2 last February so around a year ago.

Have they slowed down in production of the Raspberry Pi?
