Raspberry Pi vs a 60 in 1 for a Cocktail Cabinet
Maximus:
The android stick is due to arrive today. The other bits may take a little longer. Not sure exactly what the best use case is for this rig but it will be fun to hack together.

The RPi Model A would have been better choice since it's thinner and uses less juice. The single-chip USB hub and Ethernet controller sucks down lots of electricity and is the hottest part on the board. He also could have done the wiring without using the Teensy using the RPi GPIO, and while GPIO scanning is a slightly CPU-intensive method, it won't use as much power as the teensy.
But, all that said it is a great build and looks slick. I wish they made IPS LCDs that size. The LCD he used looked like a TN panel which are just rubbish. I'd buy it anyway.

Opened the box to some good old Engrish
Maximus:
Tiny with a nice compliment of cables and adapters

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what a RPI can do, if you don't want the world :applaud:
Its a shame it doesn't say MADE IN ENGLAND
but then we don't make our own gadgets anymore.
