'Pilet is a retro-futuristic mini-computer that runs on the latest Raspberry Pi 5. It’s built to be fully modifiable, both in hardware and software, so you can escape the limitations of closed systems like iOS or Android. Pilet works with various Linux distributions and is compatible with Raspberry Pi OS out of the box. The team is also developing Pilet OS, a custom-optimized operating system for Pilet. Key Features of Pilet Here are some of Pilet's key features: - Raspberry Pi 5 Power: Pilet is powered by the Raspberry Pi 5, which offers a performance boost and supports advanced features like PCIe and NVMe storage. - Long Battery Life: With a 7-hour battery life, you can take your projects anywhere without being tied to a desk. - Open Source: Pilet is fully open source. After launch, the team will release schematics, PCB files, CAD files, and source code, so you can tweak and modify both the hardware and software. - Modular Design: Pilet’s modular design lets you add your own modules, like cameras, sensors, or even LTE connectivity. The team is also working on modules like NVMe and LTE. - VESA compatibility: Makes it easier and more secure to mount Pilet anywhere. - Active+passive cooling: A metal back combined with a fan keeps the Raspberry Pi 5 cool and running smoothly. - AI module support: Supports the Hailo-8L module, delivering 13 TOPS of processing power. - Rear stand: Allows users to position Pilet at any angle. - Custom battery management: Ensures stable performance even under demanding applications. - Simple and Practical: Pilet follows the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle. It’s easy to use, with no extra drivers or complicated setups. All components are 3D-printable and customizable.
