$5 pi

It's a cute board that'd be good for an embedded project, but it's so stripped down that if you want to
do something significant, you're better off with the Pi 2.

That said, one of the projects I've been working on is a dedicated guard channel receiver/alarm, and this is
perfect for that.

It has more wheaties than the original Pi. If it has the I2S input like the Pi2 does, wouldn't be a bad option for using as a NAC decoder maybe even an encoder for P25.

It's actually more powerful than the pi 1. The connectors just aren't populated. Which isn't a big deal, because if you want to put it in any sort of enclosure with something else the connectors were in awkward positions. Cool idea for embedded projects, I'll probably pick up a handful to keep on the shelf.

Still on the notification list for when they're back in stock.

I'm still waiting for my Chip to be shipped also.

Same boat. The chip is starting to smell funny. Ship your backers before you open up a pre order...

I'm currently waiting for Hamshield to ship...but hey a $5 pi changes a lot of things for that project as well.
