TheHackerNextDoor Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Here are some suggestions I have dreamed up over the past couple of days. More RAM I think the mark V is very limited when it comes to RAM. Come on, only 64MB? I'm sorry, but I can't run very much at a time, and it is constantly crashing! How difficult would it be to add 128MB of RAM, or better yet, 256MB? Dual-booting I think dual booting would be a good feature. How I see it, is there would be a second DIP switch module to choose which version you want to boot. It's annoying to have to change the settings each time, like the wireless settings, for example. If I want to prank my friends, I have to change the /etc/wireless/config file from encrypted WPA2 'Nothing to see here!' to something like 'Free Wifi!' Antenna Repositioning A physical problem with the Mark V that the Mark IV does not have is the width. I can fit the Mark IV in my pocket(other than the antenna, which is hidden by my shirt), however I can't fit the Mark V in, because of the antennas. If I put it in my pocket with the antenna sticking out, it is visible, because of the angle of the antennas. What about having a 90 degree SMA connector where the SMA ports are, so the antennas would be right next to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raph Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Hi, What I would love in next Pineapple is : - Possibility to use native PoE via ethernet - Possibility to power supply the Pineapple with 12+ V Dc. Use case : Pineapple connected with 1 12 V batteries. When the battery gets empty and cannot supply power to the device we could switch to the fixed power supply without rebooting the device with a Y DC cable. The best would be to power the device while charging the battery when wall plug is available. (12 V battery charger sends 12,6V ) Raphaël Edited March 31, 2014 by Raph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbi3 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 When making electronics smaller other problems arise such as heat, if the mkV was as small as the mkIV then I think that we would have to put an fan in there and to be able to fit the fan in there the case would have to be made bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcellerator Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just a reminder that the Mark V has been specified as the LTS model, so a new hardware revision isn't gonna happen for quite a long time. That said, the PoE would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
