Good idea! Maybe we should start a newsletter. There is a Matrix bridge to our Discord now.
That would be really cool! But we may not meet the MOQ to get all those colors made
The CNC version will definitely involve some screws to make it more secure
Thanks!
Yup! It should be a drop-in alternative. Other SBCs should also work but requires a bit more tinkering with the software.
You may be interested in our other product Franky then :) https://sqfmi.com/franky/
We haven't done extensive testing or optimizations (i.e. sleep, idle power down, etc.) yet. But with the stock battery of 2000mAh and Pi Zero @ ~80mA idle, it should be around ~20h always on. We're estimating a week of…
Get the Beepberry and play games with friends across the globe (via WiFi)!
Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/sqfmi and join our Discord https://discord.gg/QERrSferdF ! We'll share the latest updates on Beepberry development there.
Corrupted storage is a pain :( The Beepberry firmware can safely shutdown the Pi before disconnecting power, so hopefully that will help with SD issues. raspi-config also has a read-only overlay filesystem option now.
It comes with a battery. No case included for now, but you can 3D print your own with the STL files. Later on we will offer 2 cases (CNC aluminum and plastic).
Yes! We made Watchy as well, we love open source hardware :)
We'll be sharing the STEP model of the device and the enclosure here https://github.com/sqfmi/beepberry-hardware Feel free to hack away!
Thanks! We plan to offer 2 cases (CNC aluminum and clear transparent plastic) once we're happy with the design
The dial/hangup buttons map to modifier keys and power control, and the trackpad can be mapped to mouse/arrow/scroll keys. No plans for touchscreen yet :)
It does not, but both use the same display technology https://sharpdevices.com/memory-lcd/
Low margins :) This is a passion project and we wanted to make it accessible
I miss the Cybiko, it was ahead of it's time and was so much fun to play with. They can still be found on eBay.
