The Pi2 makes a marvelous industrial controller!

For what this girl did for her Gramps a super cheap Android phone would have been a better deal.

I’m using them around here for remote cams.

Been playing with the idea of writing a Java app to make a P2P backup for FR. Everyone goes to walmart and grabs a cheap phone and sticks the app on it and it connects to their wifi and you have a distributed backup for FR.

The cheap Androids I got have a dual ARM core at 1.4Ghz ... plenty of oomph and they come with a 4GB sd card and that’s plenty of data space for such an app.

Yeah, I would be similar to an industrial controller, but the final product I’m thinking of is more along the lines of home entertainment. This is just the guts of the final things I’m thinking of, there are some other parts involved too.

Anyway, it should be fun to play around with even if I can’t get the thing to work, I figure.
