Beepberry

To borrow from Jerry Maguire: you had me at physical qwerty.

Awesome, you're my hero. I just ordered two of these. It looks to be using the same Q10 keyboard as a few of the other hacks (i.e. Fairberry[0], but with the addition of the…

Thanks! Ordered two.

This is amazing! A hacker friendly Cybiko/TwitterPeek with the power of Matrix. Feels like the ultimate chat device.

Have been wanting to get a device just like this for a long time to do live-coding (Glicol) on. So glad you had the foresight to expose the rpi pins so I can just stick an audio…

i almost didn't open this because it said 'e-paper' and i've sort of dismissed e-paper for this kind of thing this is much more interesting than an e-paper device; it's a…

Love the idea but a Zero W is pretty underwhelming. I have couple and it’s barely useful because of the single core limitations. I’m guessing it’s a supply chain issue? Also,…

I love the product but I take issue with the term "Order now" on the website. > Below is the shipping timeline for Beepberry: > Beepberry without Raspberry Pi Zero W: ~ August…

At least it's only $99. Sadly, it's not a shipping product yet. It's a "preorder".

Aye, the "diagram" shows nothing of the topology. Can the rp2040 run the show with the Zero not even attached? That would be interesting. Furthermore, there's no radio other than…

I would love to hook this up to a LoRa receiver and use it around town, will be fun to hack on.

With lora support, it would make for a nice off the grid communication device.

I've ordered my share of little Linux gadgets. I said no more because they were wholly impractical. Well, congrats, you just caused me to pull out my wallet and buy. This looks…

This seems super cool; have you considered selling a model with a battery and case? I would think that would be far more useful to most?

Spot on. I was so excited to see the form factor, and then my excitement was deflated as soon as I noticed the component details. Note to any hardware hackers out there: I would…

Could someone tell me how many hours of battery life you could get out of it?

I love the form factor here. A few questions: 1) Have you considered how this could be made more mobile friendly? Most places I could see myself using a device like this, I…

Seems to only mention Zero W directly, but would a Zero 2 W also work? Kind of expecting it would but thought it better to check

works great with pi zero 2. Needs a front-light to see in low light.

this is more promising but you forgot the keyboard can you plug in an external keyboard

What is the possibility of connecting a GSM module and using this for making and receiving calls and staying connected on the go?

1) maybe? this is just a hacker device for now. You can easily add a USB LTE modem if you'd like. 2) battery life will depend on which OS you use, peripherals, software duty…

A lot pricier of course but there's https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/precursor too for the same kind of uses this is for.

A fancy expensive version of this concept exists as the Precursor. All open, built off of some FPGAs, though with a much bigger security focus
