Has there been any mention of the device being sold at the launch, or if the device will be in the store on launch night? Guess I'll have my credit card on standby just in case. :D
-
You know they ARE watching this. They have been super silent.
You're correct about that. Seb wouldn't even confirm or deny if the dimensions are bigger than the IV.
-
Interesting - a kali based pineapple? :D
-
I'm still thinking custom board. I just hope they're able to keep pricing below like $150.
-
I was working on the 2.8.1 gui code that seb posted on github. If I remember right, I got about 75% or something like that of the code fully ported. I stopped working on it though, and haven't really touched the 3.0 code.
-
I'll end up using mine as a wireless router. My old WRT54G needs to be put out to pasture.
-
Maybe just me but dimensions look a bit larger than the iv. Guess no more stuffing everything into a Pelican 1050. :D
-
Yea - that's true too. Spoofed mac straight out of the box?
-
Giving us a small clue. The OUI of that mac is for Orient Power Home Network Ltd. I can't find a website for that company yet though.
-
I'm gonna guess a custom board too. I thought Yun as well, but the differences seem too many:
- LEDs are on the opposite side of the ethernet port on the Yun, not next to to the ethernet port like on the pineapple
- Yun has only 1 embedded radio/antenna, assuming the second antenna is for a second radio, of course
- Yun has no DC barrel jack on it
- SD slot on the Yun is at the underside of the board opposite the ethernet port, not on a side adjacent to the ethernet port (again, assuming that the slot that we see is in fact for an SD card)
-
There is a micro sd slot on there you an see it in the pictures. That is to big to be a micro sd slot and in a very strange place for one as well. The pins on the back I am assuming are UART which means to more disassembling to re-flash it :D
Well, not if the microsd card requires a full sized adapter, like the rasp-pi.
-
So this 5 days of pineapple thing... guessing we get a teaser video every day until the event? Evil, cruel bastards.
-
if you look at the right hand side of it in the video you can see that there is a removable tab... I'd say its for a GPIO...
I'm thinking a slot for an SD card. Also - dip switches and what would appear to be pins of some sort on the back?
-
I'd have to assume - I personally wouldn't want to spend my time supporting and developing for 2 hardware platforms. I do wish there was some recourse for those of us that dropped the $100 in the past 2 weeks, but that's the way the ball bounces sometimes.
-
Looking at the box it mentions expandable module support - I think this is a custom box with a mini pci-something connector, I don't think this would mean software modules - we've had those for ages.
Nice observation. I can also vaguely make out something about memory expansion and something about monitor modes.
-
I doubt as well - no need to steer from something that already has alot of work put into it and works well.

A poster here said they heard a rumor that the OS is now android based.

That would make for an interesting twist.
-
not sure but would be neat if it contained an internal battery. Lol Wishfull thinking
Video looks to show a DC power wire feeding it.
-
Wondering if the second antenna is just for extra reception, or for a second radio. 2 radios in one case, without the need for an external Alfa? That would be sweet.
And the video seems to show custom packaging... does that infer a custom board this time?
-
@computerchris: Now I see it Thanks.
I have some doubts about the Arduino Yun being the Mark V. The pictures do seem to have the same USB orientation as the Yun BUT the spacing is completely off. Not only does the Yun have a micro usb between the USB A plug and the Ethernet BUT it also is almost the width of an Ethernet jack. The pictures show a much smaller space between the two. Also if using the YUN, the GPIO would need to be rerouted from the YUN. Why do that when you could just put it on the face of the enclosure?
One other concern the pictures don't show how this thing is powered.
The spacing was actually one of the first things being off from a Yun I did notice too. And the Yun is powered by 5v microusb, which according to the website, is between the USB and ethernet ports. Plus the LED's of the YUN are not near the ethernet port like in the pics. Guess we'll all just have to wait and stop speculating.
-
With only 1 USB port, I would have to use a USB Hub to use an aircard/Android & my USB stick (for log cap) or to use my 2nd WIFi nic and a usb stick.
Seems more often then not I would use a 2nd usb port.
NOW if it had a spot to put a micro SD card in. That changes things completely.
If it's the Arduino Yun (which based on the layout from the images it very well could be), it does have an SD slot.
-
More RAM and at least two USB's !! Please .
r-pi would be perfect... if it had embedded wifi, and didn't sometimes have issues supplying sufficient power to the USB ports.
-
Hah - try this instead.

This sucker also has GPIO's from the AR9331 itself, and ability to add daughter boards, which would greatly open up expansion possibilities.
-
The fact their having such a big todo... I thnk it's a lot more than SW revision/upgrade and more likely new or revised HW platform...
That and the fact that AP121U based pineapples are now on clearance in the hakshop.
Trololol.

:D
Can't say I blame Seb - those Pelican 1120 (or 1150, whatever it is) cases are hard as frick.
