Hi Graig,

glad you like it. I just try to organize a project-group to build a
bigger number of computers.
Hope it will work.

Is there any particular you decided to base the project round a Cubieboard
rather than, say, a Beagleboard Black or a RaspberryPi? The new Pi 2B
looks quite interesting and there are already smallish touch screens
available for it. As a Libelle pilot I prefer small.

I happen to have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B in my hand, and I expect it would be well up to the job if it has sufficient of the right kinds of I/O. It's certainly faster than the A20 Cubieboard 2, though not the A80 Cubieboard 4.

As the Raspberry Pi 2 was announced only a week ago I think you can hardly blame the project for not using one! The old model was underpowered when it came out three years ago, and laughably so now.

Hi Martin,

sorry, but I have no idea about those boards at all. I just tried to spread the news about the project and I now try to organize a builders-group to get some of those flight-computers build.
Question like this, you better ask the people who have developed the computer, so best you use theire website to ask those questions.
But the answer to your question might be the reply from Bruce Hoult, who informed about the introduction of the mentioned board two weeks ago.
As the developer-team surely can not redesign the computer each time a new board joins the marked, I beliefe that we can live with the existing design.

Best regards from Germany
