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…

Always fun to put more personal touches to projects. Especially with Halloween! Keep up the good work and share updates!

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.
