UnKn0wnBooof Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Whats happening about the "Pineapple Slices" for hardware expansion? I haven't heard much about it... Could we use the GPIO pins to make robots or something? What's happening about this feature? I was thinking about making a custom case for the MKV (because why not?) but is there any form of schematics that I could work by? Did Darren mention that he was going to release some sort of blue prints so we could 3D print our own cases for it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpsystems Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I wondered the same, which is why I started this thread: https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/36447-the-hdk/#entry265298 Admittedly, it does cover housing. There is also a getting started page on the wiki. Edited September 3, 2015 by phpsystems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnKn0wnBooof Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Neat. Just looked through the Wiki. Would be nice to have schematics for the GPIO pins on the Pineapple (if there is, I must be going blind). Couldn't find anything for 3D printable housing :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the forums as well is another post that someone had a look on the expansion port. There is also the Mk5 teardown by Pentura Labs as well. The gpio pins are labelled on the board.

UnKn0wnBooof Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Cool. Will be looking that up, later :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpsystems Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 And here is the link: https://penturalabs.wordpress.com/2013/10/27/naked-wifi-pineapple-mark-v/ Would have posted before but pasting on my android phone seems to be an issue. How were you thinking of making your case for your slice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How were you thinking of making your case for your slice? I haven't thought about making a case for slices, yet. At the moment, I'm interested in seeing how the expansion port works. If I was to design a slice case, it would probably cover the whole top of the pineapple and clip onto thw sides, giving a stable connection and lots of space inside, to expand :) As for a custom MKV housing, thinking of either making it white or made out of some sort of metal. Perhaps illuminum? Not entirely sure, at the moment. Something like this, made for the mkv, would be pretty nice: http://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-cases/products/pibow-ninja-rpi-b A transparent case and adding some copper heat sinks to the cpu and a few other chips, would look pretty cool if you ask me. :) I haven't made a case before so I'll see how it goes. I'm surprised no one else is designing cases and making a few ££ from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpsystems Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 There are cases for the pineapple in the hakshop (https://hakshop.myshopify.com/collections/wifi-pineapple-kits/products/ominous-box-for-wifi-pineapple). But, they haven't been built specifically for an expanded pineapple. You have to remember, that cases tend to be specific for application, so that's probably why you haven't seen much. Having said that, don't let it put you off and have a go. I for one would be interested in the results. I may even buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I manage to make one, I'll be sure to share the results :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
