Raspberry Pi Dev Laptop - CrowPi2

[@Andy-fd5fg]

reminds me of those 101 electronics kits from "when i was a lad".

[@DPCTechnology]

This is epic! Like a radio shack 300 in 1 kit for 2024!

[@NightHawkATL]

Not a bad little setup. It is a lot better than the "my first electronics kit" from Radio Shack back in the day. lol

The CrowPi2 was fun, but I sold it ~3 years ago. It's time for a CrowPi3 with the Pi 5.

Very interesting product. Might have to give it a try for the wee ones

[@CoreDreamStudios]

Very impressive kit, and it can be for any age. :-)

[@satoshiborishi6898]

Compatible with RasPi 5???

[@joshuamaserow]

Very cool. I'd almost buy this for my children but i feel it misses the mark. I'd prefer a wired backlit keyboard and battery, and some more port passthroughs like you mentioned. For the price it's much too limited for me personally to want to buy it. I'd prefer a more open source approach to the electronics part. Its too limited. It would be better if you could swap out and buy the tinkering boards that are designed by community members. I'd be more inclined to just get an old laptop with backlit keyboard for my children, plug in a pi or arduino and call it a day.

Just get your kids a pi ($70), one of the kits that has all those bits in it ($50), a 10 inch screen ($70), a decent breadboard and jumper leads, and a wired backlit keyboard for half the price. If you have a spare laptop case lying around, then like you say, you could build your own. Then your kids learn how to put it all together as well as learning how to code for it.

Can you remove the tinkering board that is under the keyboard while keeping the rest of functionality? Idea is to put your own project there instead.

I read this as CowPi2

[@Supermath101]

Is that a reference to PiCow aka Pico W?

[@tohur]

every bit of coding I know PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, python, rust, C ++, C# etc I learned from looking at code.. not from someone telling me how or a guide per say but actually looking at working code.. they missed a big opportunity by not showing the source code because pretty sure there are still plenty of kids much like I was that learn better from seeing actual working code. I was a 13 or so when I learned PHP, HTML, CSS and JS by looking at code and later in life taught myself the rest the same way

more overpriced crap from rasp pi

[@Sithhy]

It's from a totally different company
