Looking forward to watch this...had some Latte on my mind lately!!

Yes this is interesting, I am thinking about getting a Lattepanda,sounds like it could be better than using just a cell phone for outside uses and all self contained.

Totally - and for the price of performance it's unbeatable. Although the onboard Arduino is a tiny bit limiting regarding having to wire servos and such with a custom setup. I feel a good alternative is connect an EZ-B v4 to the onboard LattePanda's GPIO TTL. I should do a demo on that this week for you

That way, you get the simplicity of connecting sensors and servos to the EZ-B v4 with the onboard processing power of the LattePanda

Which is the exact Voltage regulator you were talking about? This one? LM 1084 IT-ADJ Are they not producing to ton of heat?

Nice hack...will you do the Atomic Pi too?

Btw turining him into a Cyclops was the coolest thing ever!!!

Get the 5v fixed lm1084 not the adjustable one: http://www.ti.com/product/LM1084

it does get pretty warm, so put a heat sink on it.

i use one on my raspberry pi intellvision hack. It powers the pi without trouble

Thanks for the info!! There are so many of those Mini PCs right now...The Latte Panda keeps coming back to my mind!! Tight little piece...very good hack!!

Hey this is a good shield for the lattepanda. It powers the panda as well. So you don’t need the lm1084. It also has servo io breakouts
