I was not fast enough to get an order in for a Raspberry Pi on launch day. Fortunately, a kind friend of mine thought of me, and bought an extra one for me. I received it yesterday, and printed this case:
The case I made is a copy of HansH’s excellent Raspberry Pi case, modified with a slot that added on the top to accomodate access to the GPIO pins. I uploaded it to Thingiverse: Raspberry Pi Case with GPIO Access. Here’s the first sucessful boot of my Raspberry Pi:
It looks so tiny sitting in front of my 52″ plasma. I was pleasantly surprised to see it boot up at full 1080 resolution. At first, I thought the HDMI port was bad, because it didn’t work with a cable that I know is good, but it turns out the Pi is just picky about HDMI cables. I swapped in a different one, and it worked. Now, I have a lot of reading to do… yet another gadget to play with…
