Just when you thought you have everything you could ever ask for during the holidays’ someone drops off a little surprise and it gets that much better. This year someone bestowed a Raspberry PI 3 B+, Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 and a LiIon battery pack upon me and I’m more excited than ever to get going with some awesome portable projects.

I think the timeline might go something like the following;

• Prototype the direct connection of the power boost to the PI
• Design and print a case to house the battery, charging circuit and PI. Allowing access to;
  • Charging circuit power port
  • the pi’s peripheral ports, including the micro sd card.
  • access to remove the battery
  • power switch.
• I had started a python project that worked with user input that controlled a servo, I have a collection of micro and large servos, as well as some smooth joystick inputs, it would be great to get that going again.
• Another awesome project I would really like to get into is the open sky project for flight tracking, I think it would be awesome to contribute.

Follow along for future updates.
