Apart from the screen I expect everything to be robust lol. I have a back up of the other stuff, just not the screen, I will treat that like my first born. Its great gear, ive just tested a lot of it and…

Hey John,
Unfortunately the SD card is a full size one, you will need to get a micro sd [I recommend a min of 8gb ].
Im working with the screen, but I'm adding my own DIY fogger to the mix.

Thanks for the video! I have been hoping to take a look at it for a day or so but with the website having issues wasn't able to click over until now. When I first looked at your blog and saw mention of Fog I was thinking you were working on the project with Sensor not the screen and was surprised to see a screen come out of the box! :-) Is the 4 gig card a microsd in an adapter? The Pi requires a microsd right? Thanks!

Will It Blend comes to mind, i'm too poor to play that game at the moment, But i'm sure people would find a more detailed video useful.

I'm looking forward to the blogs also, more so in your quadcopter stuff. The Pi could be a real powerhouse of a controller for uav's.

Well now I have to "one up" your vid. My kit comes tomorrow. I'll be using a dart board!

Just kidding! They are very tough except the Pi Camera is very weak, so I would be careful with the screen. The issues come from the ribbon cable.

Look forward to reading more and posting along side you.
