speakup on the Raspberry Pi

Thu Nov 1 20:37:10 EDT 2012

Glenn,

No, there isn't any soldering needed. All of that extra stuff is to 
expand functionality. If all you are looking for is a tiny portable 
computer, you'll need th Pi, a 5V, 1000 Mah charger, and a case.

Kelly, thank you for that link, I couldn't remember where to get one in 
the states. It was eithe relement 14, RS components, or allied, but the 
one that delivered in the U.S. was talking 3 to 6 month on shipping last 
I checked. But then again, it seems that everyone was complaining about 
them.

Last note for now, about the audio clicking, and ordering a Pi. Make 
sure that you order the newer one form here on out. It's pretty much the 
same, with a couple things added into the audio wiring that is supposed 
to get rid of that clicking. It's the one built in the U.K. and has 512 
MB of RAM versus the original with only 256MB.
