Element 14 Raspberry Pi bundles/accessory pack

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

The Element 14 bundles/accessory pack for the Raspberry Pi seem a little strange to me. The wi-fi dongle seems useful, but no doubt all of them could be easily purchased separately elsewhere (or indeed individually at Farnell/Element 14). However, my main concern is the a very obvious item that most users would need, namely a case, *isn't* in the bundles/accessory pack at all.

 

 

It seems to me that the big aftermarket accessory for the RP would be a case, since its probably going to have be custom designed for the positions of the ports, so nothing obvious exists right now that could act as an RP case. Like all accessories for the RP, it would have to be pretty cheap too.

    I was reading up on the RP and their site says that it will have a case for the in class units meant for teaching with in schools. I think it would be neat if it had a clear case made of plastic, polycarbonate, or maybe even plexiglass. I will def be ordering one of these and attempting to make a somewhat tablet like device with a cheap usb tablet keyboard and a micro mouse I have. Along with a 5in back up camera screen. Everything should run on 5v or 12v so I will probalby use a 12v source (maybe 3 lithium cells) and the circuitry from one of those 12v to usb adapters meant for in the car. Should be interesting. It would be nice to have something I can just keep in my locker at school and pull out in the morning or after school to surf the web.
