Very excited for the build guide!

FWIW, I was able to find the datasheet for the ar9331 on google in less than a second. So much for being 'confidential'.

Sorry to dig up this old topic, but I was just curious if you have any more information or updates regarding the expansion port? I've got big plans for it! ;)

I had asked about the expansion port SDK and information a while ago. Seb replied and said that info will be available soon. Here is the link to the forum post.

Excellent! I can hardly wait. I had been looking high and low, but wasn't able to find anything. Now I know why. :D

Anyone? No help? :(

Hello everyone, I was wondering where I could find a list of all of the pineapples api functions? I would like to try my hand at creating an infusion, and a reference would be very handy. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to give you all an update. I took an o'scope to the switching power supply that I ordered (link given above) and it turns out that it does have some noise. The pineapple however works fine running from it. I assume that this is either because the noise level is insignificant, or the pineapples internal regulator circuitry had adequate filtering.

Is there a place where I can find a reference list of all of these webinterface API functions? I looked at the wiki and on the forums, but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance!

I wanted to add that the SD card that shipped with my pineapple was also DOA. It refused to format, no matter what I tried. This ended up being a non-issue though, as I had a few spares laying around. As THCMinister said; I also do not consider this to be the fault ok Hak5. I love my pineapple! :D

Thanks for the heads up. In that case, I think that I will wait and use the regulator. I love my pineapple and would be so sad if I hurt it! ;) I asked my original question because I have had some issues in the past while using a switching regulator with RF equipment. The power supply's 'noise' caused significant interference with the RF circuitry. This particular regulator has a ferrite on the output line to aid in stopping any stray rf/noise. Anyway, once I actually receive all of my parts I will give you all updates regarding how everything worked together. :D

Excellent! I will be eagerly waiting. Thanks guys!

I was wondering what the status of the expansion port SDK is? How soon can we expect info and tools to start developing hardware addons for the pineapple? I would love to have an external lcd and some buttons to know whats happening. I have thought about using an arduino and the serial port to make such an addon, but want to wait for expansion port info before I decide on a route and invest the time and effort. Thanks in advance! :)

Excellent. This is good to know. I will hook the pineapple directly to the battery. Thankfully the regulator will still be able to be put to use. I plan to use a raspberry pi running either PwnPi or kali, which requires the 5v that the regulator will supply. :D Now I've just gotta wait for some parts to arrive in the mail...

Hello Everyone, First off, I would like to say hello to the community, and introduce myself. I am Andy Five. I have just received my pineapple about a week ago, and have been lurking the forums and learning as much as I can. I have a question regarding the pineapple's power supply. I have two '12v' sealed lead acid batteries that float right around 13.5v, fully charged. I plan on using them for a remote deployment. I don't want to take the chance of trying to power the pineapple directly from the battery so that leaves my only choice to use a regulator. As many of you probably know, linear regulators are notoriously inefficient. I don't want to waste my precious juice, so I'm planning on using a switching regulator. Here is my basic question: I have found the following switching regulator for extremely cheap on ebay. It will output 5 or 6v @3A from my batteries. Will this regulator work with the pineapple, or do I have to worry about the 'noise' from a switching regulator? Thanks in advance your the assistance! P.S. Here is the regulator that I ordered: http://www.hobbywing.com/product_show.asp?id=209
