Since the Raspberry Pi will be with us soon-ish (well, about six weeks
I am told, for mine) does anyone have any interesting ideas about what
they might do with it/them?
I've heard of car computers, TV boxes, PBCes as ideas...
PBC = PBX
I remember a similar looking dev board that came out back around 1981 ..
it had a built in Hexadecimal keypad... you do a whole days worth of
coding and get a stepper motor to revolve or a set of LED's chase a
traffic light sequence.
The issue was none of the students could be arsed to do this more than
once .... then would rather play with the Commodore pet.
I think that is the problem with Dev board approach, it provides so
little for your effort when you can instead just go use a PC and gui.
Well, the RP has a quarter of a gigabyte of memory and a reasonably
powerful CPU. And a place to attach keyboard, mouse and display. So it's
a bit more than a development board.
