Although the price is cheap, the Rasberry Pi is also revolutionary products, which meets a lot of geometrical enthusiasm of the Heli yourself to develop hardware. However, the founder of Sinclair Mobile, the founder of Sinclair Mobile, believes that the development of the Raspberry Pie is still too complicated, so it has developed a microcomputer called POCO.
Poco is still a hardware that is based on Raspberry Pis. Compared with the hustler, POCO integrates the following components:
5 megapixel front and rear camera, can shoot 1080p HD video, with programmable LED flash
2.8-inch IPS touch screen, resolution 240 x 320, built-in micro HDMI interface
Battery capacity 520mAh
Cirrus WM5102 high resolution sound card
Contains GPS, Digital Pneumonometer, 3-axis gyroscope, 3 Micro USB interface
Support 802.11 Wi-Fi
What is even more amazing is that after a collection of so many hardware, the volume of POCO still has only one bank card size (85.6mm x 54mm x 9mm).
According to Sinclair, POCO can achieve the following features:
Portable game equipment
POCO is compatible with the game running on the Raspberry. With the help of the POCO body integrated buttons and two rockers, users can run Minecraft and other games on POCO. Of course, the functions corresponding to each button can be customized by program.
Hi-RES music player and recording
POCO can play and record the latest generation of Hi-RES audio files. Thanks to the built-in Micro USB interface, the musicians can use POCO to assist music creation. Unfortunately, it does not have a 3.5mm headphone interface, so I want to listen to music on Poco, I have to buy a Micro USB adapter. I believe this will not be difficult to fill the polent players who are willing to toss.
Portable sports camera
On the image quality and battery, POCO may not be able to take 5 million pixel photos, but the camera of 1080p is enough to make POCO competenarly some non-professional shooting requirements. The POCO housing also features a 1/4 inch interface, which can be installed on a tripod, bicycle, helmet.
Internet browser
The POCO system has a built-in web browser that can connect to the Wi-Fi network, and you can also download the audiovisual content provided by HDTRACKS, NAIM Label. Linn Records, but watch the video of the video on the 2.8-inch screen is very uncomfortable.
However, POCO's largest selling point is not only the above functions. Like the Raspberry, POCO is a highly customized microcomputer. Sinclair will install the visual programming tool SCRATCH in the officially available Poco, and users can learn to use POCO to make simple programming through the instructions attached to the POCO box, and turn the POCO to both the iPhone and Android driving recorder, Wi-Fi video call , Robotic controller, remote monitoring cameras, etc. unexpected devices.
PoCo just launched Indiegogo for crowdfunding, providing 4 kinds of purchases:
$ 15, buy POCO's 3D CAD file, make the housing and assembly through the 3D printer, you need to buy a Raspberry Party (December delivery)
$ 75, purchase of the POCO shell finished self-assembly, the same need to purchase the treasurer party (next Fember delivery)
380 US dollars, original finished POCO (1 July next year)
$ 455, waterproof version of POCO (1 year after delivery)
Although the price of $ 75 is good, but purchased a POCO finished product may be the best choice, because the original POCO housing material is alloy, combined with high strength and lightweight, and two combined design can reduce users. Repair, upgrade, and transformation difficulty.
The project is expected to be 300,000 US dollars, which will be over 29 days later, like programming but don't want to spend time, trying to mount various components.
