Here it is fuckers. Now how the hell do I take it out, wanna use dips but this cunt is super glued in there.
Thoughts so far: It's useless, at least with the stock pocket chip software. Weak settings, a terminal emulator, super basic text editor and a file browser. Works off of the actual debian Jessie repositories as well as custom chip repos, so all that delicious armhf debian stuff is available. Keyboard is surprisingly not terrible, works better then expected and has all the keys you need, 100% size, kinda weird layout, but usable. Resistive touch screen is OK, not good, not terrible. The edges of the screen can't be used, and the file browser and terminal emulator were NOT designed with that in mind, they're just ports of existing packages. Installing ice weasel and deluge right now.

Know of any way to convert a raspberry pi or other small camera to work with it?
I'd like to use it since the hardware looks to be more powerful than a raspberry pi and it's cheaper, but if there's no support then I'll have to live with the more expensive option.
Juan Reyes
i thought it has wifi built in, why are you using an adapter? also can you try running minetest.
also interested in wondering how fast it can browse the boards with iceweasel.
Josiah Baker
i think the only thing you would need to do is make the drivers for the touchscreen and keyboard compatible with the rip
Jaxson Hill
Isn't it supposed to have Wi-Fi built-in?
Andrew Green
Shit I'm drunk. I meant make a camera intended for a raspbery pi work with the CHIP.
Cameron Hall
(his frail little internet fingers are to weak to pry the chip out)
Andrew Moore
No, it's just hard to take out
Maybe? The pi's camera is through a port that this doesn't have, but there are extremely small USB webcams, I'm sure you could work it out
It does, I'm trying to get aircrack working and I don't want to fuck with the built in one for that
That is correct
Gavin Edwards
I got mine today too OP.
I love that it doesn't come with a browser, video player, etc. It's a return to general purpose computing. It's the sort of computer I would have loved to have when I was 10 or 11.
I think it will be a huge hit in schools
Elijah Phillips
9 for the chip 15 for the hdmi hat 30 for the pocket chip
replying on it on iceweasel right now. its surprisingly snapy but kinda cramped
Caleb Walker
Protip: don't go on youtube with iceweasel. It takes a little while to close the tab after your mistake.
Blake Cooper
i usually have Sup Forums open in catalog view in a narrow window with about 3-4 posts per row, if it can handle that i'll be happy
Easton Stewart
For sure, it's not very useful with what comes on it, but it's still getting started, I think the pocketchip itself only went into production a couple months ago, so we're probably going to see a bunch of software over time. Though I don't know how good it can get with this tiny ass screen, iceweasel looks bad, like, really bad. I really doubt it'll be good for much else then gameboy emulators and text documents.
Ayden Moore
Yeah it can do that, you'll have to zoom out a little bit as the default zoom level can only do 2 posts per row, but it looks fine like this.

good wifi adapter for hacking wifi

anybody got an idea if there is any display for the chip that is powered trough the gpios available for purchase? besides buying a pocketchip obviously
Hunter Baker
i think you're misunderstanding what GPIOs are
Alexander James
why not use the one it comes with
Jack White
what a waste of a WN-722N
Austin Hall
It doesn't seem to run minetest at the moment, possibly pulse's fault, can't confirm. Looks like it hangs right after "GLSL version: 1.2" anybody know what the log looks like for starting minetest?
Joseph Fisher
meant the onboard pins
docs.getchip.com/chip.html#physical-connectors
mine didn't come with a display since its just a 9 dollar chip not a pocketchip
im looking for something like this: adafruit.com/product/1601
or am i better off using the composite video out with a small car display?
Caleb Howard
Isn't the pocket CHIP 50 bucks?
Just install a more full featured distro then
Ethan Evans

Fuck these guys.

Finally got the chip out of the pocketchip, turns out I'm just weak. The battery is stuck inside the pocket chip with a little adhesive pad, so fuck you NTC. I paid $64 for the chip, the HDMI adapter and the pocket chip when I backed it, I know it rose in price from there, ATM is 50 and looks like it'll go up even more. Did my math wrong back there, actually paid 40 then for the pocketchip and the battery. (I'm including the battery as part of the pocketchip from now on because you can't take that fucker out without ruining something)
Jaxson Ortiz
It's probably glued down so it doesn't rattle around man
Cooper Myers
The whole thing is put together with clips, kind of annoying that the only thing they didn't clip in is the battery, literally the only thing besides the chip I want to remove. Whatever, I'll just order another battery OH WAIT THEY DON'T SELL THEM ON THEIR OWN. I guess I can... make one?

can you post a picture of it next to a smartphone or 3ds or something for size comparison?

Already done, that's not as funny as a 50$ pocket computer running Debian that I can tweak to hell and back without risking anything on my smartphone. I wonder when I'll get mine since it was a regular preorder and not a kickstarter.
