That's the old one. I got the Raspberry Pi Model B+. It's a lot better than it's predecessor.
700MHz Broadcom BCM2835 CPU / 512 MB SDRAM @ 400 MHz / 10/100 Ethernet RJ45 On Board Network
40 pin Extended GPIO / Full Size HDMI / 4 USB Ports / Micro SD Slot

We couldn't get any in Australia for months but an aussie member now stocks them for us. Sadly he doesn't ship to Europe.

One tip someone mentioned to me is to make sure you click them in properly. Otherwise you are not draining them properly. I now make sure there is an audible click when they go into place. :D that might be a lot of frog doodoo but it seems to work for me.

What do you mean by drain properly? My batteries never drain evenly, the bottom position battery always drains more then the top position, the weird part is one set of my batteries, will not fire in my RPG. I never did figure that out, they work fine in my other BB. I have my batteries numbered, so after each charge, I switch the position of the battery in the BB.

That is so strange about your RPG, kas. Wonder what that's all about.


I do the same thing! Krazy Kat that I am, I rotate the sets in the same way. Left/bottom become Right/top and vice versa. It amuses me.

Now, here's the big question: At what point in the charge/recharge/rest/store cycle do you rotate? Oh boy, this is good stuff!!!! *clapping hands wildly*

Well I change the position because the bottom one drains more, so to try to somewhat keep the drain on them even I switch them, but the charger position, I never paid attention to. Once they are charged they go into a plastic battery box, that I carry with me when I am out and about. My RPG works fine as long as I don't use that one set of batteries in it, if the batteries were bad, they wouldn't work in my other BB, it is confusing.:confused:

I don't know when he rotates but here's a little tidbit that might help your batteries last longer.
Li-ion batteries deteriorate faster in an uncharged state so make sure you don't store them without being charged first. Mine come out of the device and immediately onto the charger.


Really, Studlet? You don't rest them before charging? Batt U hit me over the head with the resting scenario. Evidently, it's like meat. After you take them out of the oven charger, they need to rest so that all the little juices can redistribute.

I rest mine for a few hours before and after charging. I have tired, sleepless batts. Batt naps are a GOOD thing. ;)

Here's the new one. They really done a lot of changes. Here's also a couple touchscreens, a monitor,keyboard, and printer. Although you can use regular sized stuff on it.

I cant always do that, I charge them if they go dead if I am at home right away, otherwise they get charged when I get home.

Ya me too when I'm away from home. Li-ion technology is in a lot of our things now, Cell phones, Tablets, Etc. and Those sit around without a charge more than ecigs so you should keep them charged or at least don't leave them sitting around for long periods with dead batteries.
It didn't say anything about low battery charge state it just said an uncharged state.

I attended batt u for a bit, but didn't grajyate. I musta missed the part on batt resting. they always rest coming off the charger, while I'm using the new one. Sometimes coming out of the mod to go onto the charger they rest, cuz I'm too lazy to get up just then, but sometimes they go straight on the charger.......bad?

Hi Kittykattykins....

Would seem to have been lucky enough to get my hands on a prototype Mako.

Not really going to say that much until Urq releases it. Once out in the wild you will see why.

Headlines are....

No tools required to build it. Other than a pin to wrap the coil. Can you wrap a coil ? Cut cotton ? That is it for skills needed really. Easiest build I have ever seen.

I have tested it with cotton, rayon and Eko with plans for my beloved mesh probably this weekend.

I must confess as a rebuild nut was pleasantly surprised by the Billet Bridge and BVC but out of the Mako you get nice warm clouds with 4 volts and a 1.5 ohm coil.

Should start appearing in the next 6 weeks in the wild.

Mr. Thatchah, it sounds vunderbar, and perhaps even a non-moddress like me MIGHT be able to manage it. It sounds delicious! Thanks for the teaser. ;)

First tankful was NLV Bounty Hunter no doubt? :D



Debadoolittle, I will have to go take a refresher course from Batt U, and get back to you. Yikes. I so often think I know of what I speak. :blush:
