X500 PLUS and Raspberri pi
« on: June 04, 2012, 09:57:24 AM »
Just a quick photo of my raspberry pi inside the X500 PLUS:



Keyboard works fine, there is so much space left inside that you could easily have 4-5 raspberries with a self powered hub with HDD and SSD etc...

You get the idea. ;)

I haven't tried an A500 board in it nor the A1200 but if I have time I'll give it a go. Are there adapters that allow you to connect a USB keyboard to the A500/1200? I thought there were?!

Green and Orange (amber) I think were the ones most people like.
