REVEALED: THE LIGHTEST PI TABLET EVER
The elegant, streamlined design yields probably the smallest and lightest homemade Pi tablet in existence. With this project, Stefan Vorkoetter takes the term ‘Pi hack’ and applies it quite literally to hacking down a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B to the bare essentials required for the job, combining it with a 7-inch display to create a lovely handmade Pi tablet sat in a maple frame. His streamlining efforts reduce a recommended thickness of 40mm for the
combined Pi and display down to 17.6mm and include so many intelligent touches: an aftermarket USB audio adaptor for use with earbuds or speakers; a
real-time clock; and a modified Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 charger with homemade heatsinks, shutdown controller and precision battery monitoring.
