Why?
And it supports Python. On my list to do this year if I can find something to do with it.
I tried 3 times to get one, and they’ve seem to have been sold out for weeks, with the only available ones being sold at a gigantic mark-up.
Can I get some Java with the Raspberry Pi?

I wrote a little Python script recently that recognizes hand gestures and also head positions - by this, I added a recognize “no” routine by movement of the head from left to right. It should run on on the Raspberry PI, but I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. Computer vision is rapidly progressing and OpenCV is a great little library to include in your Python install.
Why?
Because lots of DIY projects can benefit from a computer, but a full-sized one is not necessary and too expensive or bulky for the job. A small, cheap, programmable computer enables people to make lots of projects that would be infeasible otherwise.
Answer: Why not?
The question was obviously posed by a non-engineer...:^)
Why not?
So it could operate a robotic hand? (Just curious, of course!)
Thanks SeekAndFind. This will be my only post, because "this thread is for techies only." :'P
I've used the original Rπ, hooked to a big flat screen and surfin' the web. Works fine, draws juice from USB (many TVs have those now), a lot of wireless kbd/mouse support exists, and this $5 version is a slightly stripped version of that original. I need to point out that finding it for $5 may be a challenge, I was hunting for the two weeks prior to Xmas and it was consistently sold out, just like that widely advertised $9 128GB flash drive.
Those things can turn on you.
crazy.
i'd like to remove most of the connectors, leave a small wired network connector and plug in a 1" square camera board (the whole thing would prolly be 1" cube)... then i'd connect that to a twin and a 3rd, more powerful board. at that point i'd have 3 computers and be working via binocular vision to move thru the world (i'd have it steering stuff)
yea, i'm a geek like that
