Hi,
Although it is not fully developed/available, I'm wondering if it would be possible to run meteohub on a raspberrypi 'plug'.
Specs (info from wiki)
The first product is about the size of a credit card, and is designed to plug into a TV or be combined with a touch screen for a low cost tablet. The expected price is $25 for a fully-configured system.
700MHz Broadcom media processor featuring an ARM11 (ARM1176JZF-S) core, Broadcom GPU core, DSP core and support for Package-on-Package (PoP) RAM
128MiB (Model A) or 256MiB of SDRAM (Model B), stacked on top of the CPU as a PoP device
OpenGL ES 2.0
1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode
Composite and HDMI video output
One USB 2.0 port provided by the BCM2835
SD/MMC/SDIO memory card slot
General-purpose I/O (About 16 3v3) and various other interfaces, brought out to 1.27mm pin-strip
Optional integrated 2-port USB hub and 10/100 Ethernet controller (Model B)
Open software (Ubuntu, Iceweasel, KOffice, Python)
Capability to support various expansion boards
When you say naked,are you referring to the fact that it doesn't (yet) have an enclosure/case/box?If so, there're plans to make it available later or there's the option to do some DIY here and here.
But from a technical point of view, it would be possible?
Best regards,
Jorge
The B version of the board looks capable enough to me, that a meteohub port could be done. We ll see, when the units come out as planned in December. A $35 pricepoint for the naked board plus about $10 for housing and power supply will bring it up near to $50. Compared to a more powerful iConnect (in the Meteohub context - the rasberrypi has additional HDMI output which Meteohub does not make use of) which can be purchased in the US for $60 - $70 and for 30 GBP from Cyrrus in UK it is not such a bargain. However, when the units are available I will have a look at it.
Does Cyrrus in UK have a website?
I'm also considering the iomega iconnect + meteohub combo (although a bit expensive for my wallet) to replace my desktop running 24/7/365 to share my VP2 weather data but here in Portugal the offer of the Iomega is scarse and (very) expensive...
Best regards
