Hello World!



To start things off, this is a portable raspberry pi computer. It runs off of batteries and can do anything a linux based pc can do and more. The project was designed to capture the portability of the RPi's unlimited on-the-go uses.

The case is a little bigger than a DMG Gameboy, With a Raspberry Pi B+ board inside and has a 5" resistive touch screen that runs on USB and connects through HDMI. The battery is an 8000mah portable USB charger that was dissected and mounted inside the case. There's also a Micro USB charge port on the bottom corner, same side as the 3 full sized USB coming straight from the Pi. (One of the two dual USB ports was desoldered and replaced with just one single port. The screen was then directly soldered to the points on the board afterwards.) It's fitted with a 3.5 mm headphone jack for audio use, full access to the GPIO pins for programming, the PiCam assembly affixed in the backside of the case, a button to turn on the battery and a switch to send POWER TO THE PI! are located above the screen on top.

All of this wrapped inside a two toned raspberry red and roughed black polyurethane sprayed PacTec enclosure. What else could be more yummy than a Pi like that!?

This page will be designated for all updates in The Adventures of PiP. Such as a tutorial on how it was built or programming projects, or maybe some crazy add-ons built to extend the uses of this little computer.



Au revoir!

And Pi on!
