Here's a variation on Federico's talk about turning a Raspberry Pi into a portable workstation.
Kindleberry Wireless: Using a Raspberry Pi and Kindle Paperwhite as a portable workstation http://liliputing.com/2013/03/kindleberry-wireless-using-a-raspberry-pi-and-kindle-paperwhite-as-a-portable-workstation.html An Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a $119 eReader with long battery life and an outdoor viewable display. And if you poke around a bit, you'll find it's fairly hackable too. ...Max Ogden...pair[ed] his Kindle Paperwhite with a Raspberry Pi to create a low-power workstation that could be used outdoors. This isn't the first time we've seen a Kindle used as a Raspberry Pi display. But Ogden has posted instructions for using Amazon's latest eReader with an E Ink display. He's also created an entirely wireless system by adding WiFi and Bluetooth dongles to his Raspberry Pi. That lets him pair both the Kindle and a keyboard to the Raspberry Pi using wireless connections... I guess that's one way to get around the connector problems Federico ran into. Just use a display with its own CPU and wireless connection. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list Hardwarehacking@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
