[Ql-Users] Building a netbook from a RasPi
all, Amazon EU is currently selling the Mororola Atrix docking station (originally intended to extend one of their smartphones onto a netbook and priced at rather steep 299€) at ~70€. This is a perfect extension for the Raspberry pi as it also can be used to extend the PI with HDMI TFT screen, keyboard, battery and touchpad into a nearly perfect portable device (if you don't mind the Pi is hanging rather loosely at the back.) Received mine today and the only thing I needed was a small µHDMI to full-HDMI adapter plus a USB cable and it works like a charm. Just realized Amazon UK sells the same thing at ~80 UKP. Still a bargain. Just in case you are still looking for a good keyboard and screen for your PI. There is a nice video about this combination here (not mine). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZkz_a52I6sfeature=player_embedded Regards, Tobias ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Their search does not come up with the right product.

I find it very very hard to concentrate with that row going on. It is for the young! She rushes through the cabling and obscures the connections on the Pi with her hand! I presume hdmi is one cable direct from docking station to Pi. The other I suspect is usb socket split to std usb plug for data and micro usb for power. Is that right?
