here i got a large package
so let's open it
oh gritsy youtubers here is the guy with
the swiss accent
with a new episode and fresh ideas
around sensors and microcontrollers
remember if you subscribe you will
always see it in the first row
nice a raspberry pi
laptop now we all know that the
raspberry pi foundation
said that the new pi 4 can be used
as a desktop and this is even better
a raspberry pi for laptop
now frequent viewers might remember
crowdpie is the second edition
and i had once one two years ago or so
also a nice device it is not only a
laptop
it is also for experimenting and i
gave this first edition to
the son of one of my colleagues and he
liked it
very much so let's un-package it
and see what what's in
so the how to use and so on
now the most important thing of course
looks really like a laptop
compared with my surface
very similar in size this is my
professional
one and this is then the hobby one
now something i cannot do with my
surface
is to open it oh nice
oh now it's quite heavy here
so we have plenty of stuff i have to
zoom in a little bit
displays leds another display
a fan which is probably necessary for
the
raspberry pi 4.
keypad
potentiometer pir microphone
distance meter temperature vibration
a buzzer plenty of
different stuff here i see the raspberry
pi below this
fan here
it's not a disk drive it's just to put
in things
here we see the raspberry pi
but we can not
see the sd card
so let's switch it on
and see what happens so let's plug it in
switch it on
the pi sign here
oh crowd pie too
so it seems that the raspberry pi is
already built in
now i had to play around a little bit
first thing was
i had to find the bluetooth adapter here
in the mouse and plug it in to
the raspberry and now the mouse works
and this
is also a bluetooth keyboard
and you switch it on here and now
they work very good
now you have two desktops
the simple one and the one we all know
and here you can of course do whatever
you want
with the raspberry so it's a normal
raspberry with a
nice display i think this will be my
my normal screen and maybe i will use it
to build a
sdr receiver because i can take it with
me
on my roof and so on that
looks like nice it seems also that you
can
put in maybe here a battery
if you want to return it's here and you
have plenty of projects for
beginner which work together with these
different electronic parts and you get
even
more stuff like resistors switches and
so on
probably for here and you get also here
is a stepper motor this is very similar
to the last time
and here you even have rfids
and ir experiments so it's really a lot
of stuff
and of course a servo so let's check
one of these projects make an alarm when
someone moves close to your crowd pi 2.
so start the puzzle will alarm
if somebody moves around the pir sensors
located
on the pi so i run it
works we can do distance measurement
also run and i assume it works with this
one here
so 19 centimeters
8 centimeters works fine
nice experiment stop
back nice nicely made
a lucky turntable what is that no
stepper motor too complicated
ultrasonic music a terramin
i should do a terramin since a long time
for one of my colleagues i never made it
so
let's try if this one works
run
now the silent is not
a loudspeaker instead of a puzzle would
have been a nice addition here
in the 80s we would have said disco
effect here
of course if you are experienced then
you can go on
with this one and you see here they even
have built in
a arduino ide so you can also
learn to program here so it's a it's an
interesting it's an interesting
combination
from simple things like also like
scratch
they have minecraft here other games
stuff like that
and up to arduino and even in the end
you can do python programming and stuff
like that
so it's for every age something
even for 63 year old
all in all i like this
thing definitely this one
i will keep for myself i will not give
it away
the crow pie 2 is currently a
kickstarter campaign
with some early bird offers the laptop
including
a basic set of sensors without a
raspberry starts at one hundred and
seventy dollars
including a four gigabyte pi four it
costs two hundred and fifty dollars
for me this seems to be a perfect timing
for a christmas gift
