I think someone asked during the talk whether the Model A could have been used for this. As it only has one USB port, it would require the addition of a hub. > His second draft design used: > -a black plastic case to match the other components; > -a Motorola Atrix 3 phone dock, purchased on eBay for $35, repurposed as > a keyboard, touchpad, and screen for the Pi. > > ...Federico noted difficulty in sourcing the HDMI > and USB cables with the right gender... Seems like the obvious next step is for someone to produce a 3D printed enclosure for the Pi that is designed to exactly mate with the dock. It could be bundled in a kit with custom cables, or - because all the fragile and ugly cabling would be hidden - use hand-made cables inside the box. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
