BrickPi

Hi,

there are two BrickPi in the List “BrickPi Basic Power” and “POWER-UPGRADE + BRICKPI + CASE”.
What is the different between this?

Have I understood correctly, that none of them contain a Raspberry Pi?

Thanks
Gregor

Gregor,

Each one of these two packages is a BrickPi and largely has the same functionality. Both come with cases and both come ready to work as a BrickPi.

The only difference is that the BrickPi Advanced Power has a step down regulator that converts the 9V to 5V, which greatly increases (doubles) the battery life of the BrickPi.

That’s correct, neither product comes with a Raspberry Pi. You can order them at the bottom of the same page.

Hope that helps?`

While on the topic of pre orders, where can I find the shipping date for the pre ordered BrickPI (powerupgrade inclusive)?
thanks

You can find it on our website here: http://www.dexterindustries.com/BrickPi.html

“All pre-orders will only ship AFTER the last Kickstarter customer is fulfilled. We anticipate this to happen in September, 2013.”

I put in a Pre Order on 11 September for Parcel Post delivery to Australia. I am very eager to receive it! Any chance of an indication as to when it might be shipped?

AndrewB,
Fulfilling the Kickstarter is in full swing at the moment. However, we’re not done with it yet, and it’s going a little slower than we anticipated. I hope we can get it done by the first week of October. If you’d like a refund, please contact us about it and I can arrange it.
Best,
John

Hello, I am french and would like to pre order a brick pi with power upgrade. Your yahoo checkout page doesn’t list France as a valid country and I assume it is because of your partnership with generation-robot. But the generation-robot version of the brick pi seems to be a basic power one and the case is nowhere specified. What should I do?

Bonjour Ho33e5! Thanks for bringing this up! We didn’t realize our distributor had a limited selection on the BrickPi; let me get in touch with them and figure out what we can do. Hopefully I’ll have some more information in the next few days!
