Discussion on the feasibility of some Uconsole expansion
Can Uconsole realize the construction of the local model by adding modules in the current shell?
Two. Does Uconsole have some more mature schemes to add sdr modules?
Can Uconsole be flashed into Arch Linux or Kali, and if so, is it really supported by any hardware?
Four. Uconsole’s internal space is now arranged in a waste. Is there any transformation plan to communicate, such as replacing the battery with a large-capacity lithium battery (after all, the battery life of Uconsole is not very long-lasting).
I want to implement some siri-like voice operations (such as opening the map to help me navigate) through Uconsole. Are these too difficult for Uconsole?
Cm5 has been launched, but there is little information about using it on Uconsole. Can it adapt to the adaptation board of Uconsole?
I’ve seen uconsole lipo kit on 闲鱼 (local 2nd hand platform), which includes a small battery adapter board and a big battery. Personally I don’t recommend it because the “softpack” battery is too vulnerable in the original chassis.
(Running time up, safety down)
I’m currently working on a simple expansion card that’ll breakout most/all of the unused IO and internal usb ports to be accessible from outside the case and into a more “standard” connector.
Mostly just waiting on actually receiving my uConsole to finalize the design.
I think you’ll see alot more expansion boards as more people receive their uConsole. In the short time I’ve been in this community, there appears to be more people developing software and hardware each month. It’s just a matter of actually getting the hardware into developers hands.
Most I wanted are a Lan port, a ‘usable’ type C instead of only for power. To save space the type A can be replaced with type C, but I still want the cellular, I must be asking for too much !
One can only dream of a multi-function USB-C, unfortunately. None of the Compute Module boards I’ve seen so far offer that feature. And another big clue is that the regular Raspberry Pi boards don’t offer a useful USB-C either. I guess we can all look in envy at the top-shelf devices having the feature all to themselves.
I’m working on creating an AI model, but since my Uconsole hasn’t arrived yet, I want to confirm whether the Uconsole has a built-in microphone module. If I need to add one myself, do you have any recommendations?
I’ve said it elsewhere in the forum. But, USB microphone is the best solution. Take what you will of that. The input function of the audio jack (microphone in) only works with the Clockwork A-06 module (which is already phased out because support is discontinued officially). Raspberry Pi’s have never supported built-in audio input since its creation, far as I can remember.
Now with the CM5 hopefully becoming my main CPU board: What I would want most is an adapter board that has several USB-C ports, and most importantly, a USB DAC / amplifier driving the internal speakers. The CM5 currently does not support audio output through the GPIO pins, as used with the CM5. Or someone can please get the GPIO audio working on the CM5.
Currently I have no time to deal with either option unfortunately, maybe in the future. So if anyone thinks he can do that, it might be a good thing, as probably more people will switch to the CM5.
