Re: Kano
Looks like it has the old Raspberry Pi Model B inside http://www.kano.me/kit - I'm sure a man of your ability could put together a Pi 2 (£30 at PC world at the mo), a bluetooth keyboard/trackpad and a pretty case for a lot less than £120!
Re: Kano
Lol I was just wondering that , I wouldn't want the old model of the PI if I was buying but I just love the look of it and the potential for non techie people to get in to this sort of thing with it , it's got a nice ZX Spectrum kind of look about the whole package .
I've had the Pi right since the first one and done various things with them ( sold on eBay now ) and was going to buy another soon but then I saw this , but you are right , no way I would purchase if it's got the old model in it .
Wonder if you can get the keyboard and other stuff off them desperate? Just like the whole concept of it .

Re: Kano
Here have been playing with an RPi 2 which upgraded an RPi 1. Its very fast. An example is that sometimes I wait until there are some 100 updates to the Wheezy OS.
On the original RPi this would take hours. On the new RPi2 it takes only minutes.
I have a couple of the Logitech K400 wireless keyboards around here and they work fine. I still do not like the touchpad; but I never liked any touch pads. The keyboards are well built and I have had no issues with it. It is a full sized keyboard and smaller than what the picture below makes it look like.

Re: Kano
Just upped the microSD card to 32 Gb. Don't really need 32Gb and dropping back down now to 16Gb.
I am playing with 3 automation programs on it.
1 - Homeseer
2 - RaZberry Z_way
3 - HomeGenie
I have not tried Berryboot. I do not though have the RPi1/2 plugged into a monitor.
Just looked at it. Very nice. I will need to give it a try.
I have added a Z-Wave + GPIO card to the RPi2 and using the PiFace RTC clock on the RPI and RPI2.

Re: Kano
The Pi 2 is a super upgrade from the first generation one. I've got one running ZoneMinder with motion detection for my home cameras and though it is busy doing two cameras at 5fps, there's capacity for it to handle one or two more in the future. You wouldn't really want to try that with a Pi 1.

Re: Kano
I don't know if it's still current or not but berryboot allows you to install several OS on say an external HDD via a SD card on the Pi , it was great fun when I tried it
Ahh time , I know what you mean .
