Oof. Looks like Pilet just switched to a compute module from a pi5 and people are not happy... I'm confused why they originally thought a pi5 would work for a project like this?

I also thought it contained a compute module not a pi5. :///

Pilet Refund

Crowdfunded Pilet handheld PC redesigned to use Raspberry Pi CM5 for brains… even though backers expected it to work with a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B

More than a year after launching a crowdfunding campaign for a pair of Raspberry Pi-powered handheld computers, the folks at Soulsircuit have announced a major change… and backers aren’t particularly pleased.

The Pilet 5 and Pilet 7 handhelds were originally positioned as handheld computer that would use a credit card-sized Raspberry Pi 5 Model B computer for brains. But this week […]

Still thinkin' about the Pilet 5 and their neat little transparent case:

I shouldn't have laid eyes on the Clockwork Pi #uConsole with the SDR/antenna add-on and the upcoming #pilet project. 🥹
These pretty things trigger both the child and the adult in me!

I backed the Pilet on Kickstarter, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s normal that I haven’t received any updates or emails about shipping yet.

Has anyone else who backed the project experienced the same thing?
I checked my spam folder and my Kickstarter messages, but I haven’t seen any shipping notifications or updates about the timeline. Should I be concerned, or is this typical for

Kickstarter projects at this stage?
Can I check the current status of shipments? 😃

Just selected the blue color for the Pilet 5. Very excited to soon have a goofy little daily carry. I am like.... half sold on making this my actual phone since it does LTE.

This is cool!

"Pilet: Opensource, Modular, Portable Mini Computer"

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/soulscircuit/pilet-opensource-modular-portable-mini-computer

A KickStarter for an open-source CyberDeck based on the Raspberry Pi and Linux. Actually 2 of them — a 5" version and a 7" version.

I love the retro look of these 🙂

Apparently this funded in 5 minutes! But, anyone can still get one.

I like that this also has a touch-screen. Many of the alternatives don't.

If you’ve been looking for a #cyberdeck, then you’ve got one more day to get in on the #Pilet #Kickstarter. They’ve already raised CA$1 million of their CA$20k goal… yeah. Popular is an understatement. #tech #raspberrypi #hardware https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/soulscircuit/pilet-opensource-modular-portable-mini-computer
