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. :///

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 […]

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? 😃
I just backed the —
"Pilet: Opensource, Modular, Portable Mini Computer" on #KickStarter

(I "pre-ordered" both the 5" version and the 7" version.)

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.
