Was thinking of making something like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberr...tificatio/ with my new Pine. Having the Android OS available is cool for this type of project as I can use a number of ready made widgets rather than doing lots of coding. However, control seems to be the issue. Most of these projects use simple buttons via GPIO which seems difficult with Android.
Here are some ideas I have for control:
1) Touch screen, this would be coolest, but anything even a decent size (say 18") is going to be really expensive.
2) BT mini keyboard - sort of awkward to mount.
3) Some type of mountable touchpad (not sure if one exists).
Regarding the monitor, do you think one like this would work? http://www.amazon.com/Dell-E2014T-Screen...00FE8MLY6/
Other ideas for how to deal with the input issue if I was to use Android?
