I'm interested in getting the $50 Pi.<br><br>Shang-Lin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 1:13 AM, Matthew Campbell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dvdmatt@gmail.com" target="_blank">dvdmatt@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>If you want a Pi as part of a group purchase (no shipping and no hassle) please drop me a line tomorrow afternoon. I already have 5 requests so that qualifies us for free shipping but if we get more there may be a further discount (probably another 15%).<br>
<br>Unless you request different hardware the basic 'bundle' I'm ordering is:<br>$50 = $35 for Pi B, $15 for power supply, power cable, HDMI->DVI cable and tax. SD card, case, keyboard, mouse and monitor not included (you probably already have these and you may only need them while configuring the PI for some stand-alone project). The $35 Pi comes with 512 memory and 2 USB ports. If you want the $25 Pi you get half that. The computer runs OK on the 512, half that would be useful for a small embedded system like a security monitor or sprinkler controller but no GUI or high speed file sharing.<br>
<br>At the SIG I will go over the GPIO pin breakout and all the fun things you can do with it including controlling relays, servos, and motors as well as sensing your environment.<br><br>Let me know soon if you are interested,<br>

<br>I'll give you fair warning that we'll be meeting in a small classroom, so we probably don't want to promote it too much. But we want to attract the local enthusiasts who are not only interested in meeting up regularly, but who can help out with the logistics of starting up a SIG. Right now, finding a regular meeting venue would be really, really helpful. (Much thanks to Junaid for getting us a room for next week's meeting.)<br>

Raspberry Pi/Arduino/Kinect with the intentions of doing something cool?
Do you wish that there was a local meetup group where you can meet up
with like-minded folks and actually make progress with your projects?</div><div><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Come
