Scratch Build – In Progress Raspberry Pi Competition: der_george - "Blinky - Pinky - Inky and Clyde"

Brilliant

 

Good thinking

I only spotted it because I was confronted with the power cable myself when installing it for the first time...the normal connector was quite a bit longer than anticipated! The one I bought from RS (what they advertised for the R-Pi) when mounted extends even beyond the SD card so would need to be bent (and be under tension constantly). Thats why I am going to use an angled connector to reduce the length Alternatively your idea to fully custom make the cable could also do the trick!

 

Very clever. I can see potential for a pi cluster with all the characters.

 

Thank you Boorach!

Thank you too GaryP!

Very first of all I was going to make it go out just like all the others - but especially after trying out a Pi for the first time, lacking a Reset and Off Switch - I knew I had to do something about it - and it ended up beeing the neater solution after all. And there are hundreds of instructions how to make a GPIO Off and Reset switch so it wasn't much work in the end either.

Thanks Cheapskate!
Doubt the four litte ghosts will have enough power to crunch much Probably still slower than my slow N40L. Their main job is to look cute - and then second to run xmbc and stream some video to different TVs in the house (and as we don't have that many TVs I will be giving some away to loved ones )

Thanks for all the nice comments!

So long :0)
