End of my frustation

Former Member

After following the Raspi infos and discussions for month, I did not get a device or a preorder, even an interest entry.

 

So I decided to stop my frustation today and have ordered a Beaglebone. This has about the same functionalties as

the Raspi, but it is better suited for embedded developments, eg. 64 GPIOs, 4 UARTs, .....

It comes with a Linux distribution and one could even implement Android on it. And TI has some nice daughter boards

in the pipeline.

OK, it is more than double in price, I have to pay around 90 € including tax and shipment. But its worth to start with

my project soon, instead of burning my time waiting for Raspi, Gert-board, etc.

 

So I will have a close look next year to the Raspi project and wish to all of you successful projects.

  • I just can't leave this like that... You either don't want to understand what i'm talking about or just trolling...

    so 1 by 1:

     

    Logistics:

    RasPi said that they will shipping orders form the UK. So yes that was their plan, to sell from their own shop and ship from UK!

     

    Testing:

    There is so many info in their forum one can't read it all... I read all news and once their site will start functioning normaly i can post here their direct words about testing and selling... From what can i remember they wrote something like this: "We will come for boards by plane and will ensure that there wuld be no delay. And after we test them we will start selling."

     

    Pre-order:

    They was clear about no pre-order and that they have enough money for all their neads! So please dont say that this is alot of money and bla bla bla.. They culd do preorder from the start and rise money for 100k order... But this is not question of the money... This is about how much you lose when you get error in shematics etc.

     

    In all 3 cases fundation changed all prior known information in a very last moment and didn't warned the community... and if you don't see it you are blind!
