Both Pilet 5 and 7 use a solid aluminum chassis as a passive heatsink, with a custom heatsink connected directly to it. There’s a fan too, whisper quiet, and only runs when needed. We tested over 20 to find the one you won’t notice.13 Apr 2025 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:mx5z67hfvy66it73bwsbejlm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmpczwzjc22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/soulscircuit.bsky.social/post/3lk6uzsmmi22bWe've just added some extra safety features for battery module. We've integrated an eFuse chipset + battery protection for overvoltage, reverse polarity, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection. Safety first!12 Mar 2025 15:20 +0000at://did:plc:mx5z67hfvy66it73bwsbejlm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk6uzsmmi22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/soulscircuit.bsky.social/post/3lj3saezixs2kPilet's stereo audio module design is now complete and off to manufacturing. It features the TI TLV320AIC3105 codec, a Knowles microphone, and a 3.5mm TRRS stereo audio jack. The speakers connect via JST SURS connectors, making them easy to swap or upgrade.26 Feb 2025 16:27 +0000at://did:plc:mx5z67hfvy66it73bwsbejlm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lj3saezixs2khttps://bsky.app/profile/soulscircuit.bsky.social/post/3li5bsmaukk2zWe’re looking for a passionate web developer to join our team and help refine our website.

We’re considering using a knurled thumb screw instead of a traditional screw for securing the SSD. This would make installation and swapping SSDs much easier, but it might slightly increase thickness. What you think?13 Feb 2025 18:40 +0000at://did:plc:mx5z67hfvy66it73bwsbejlm/app.bsky.feed.post/3li3dlu4jfk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/soulscircuit.bsky.social/post/3lh2enflzlk2zWe're completely redesigning the keyboard/gamepad module for Pilet, but before we dive in, we'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/soulscircuit/pilet-opensource-modular-portable-mini-computer31 Jan 2025 16:01 +0000at://did:plc:mx5z67hfvy66it73bwsbejlm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lh2enflzlk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/soulscircuit.bsky.social/post/3lgxtdoufzk2bHere’s a preview of the LTE module for Pilet. The design is finalized and off for manufacturing. Next, we’re enabling calls and internet. Would you prefer calling via terminal command or a graphical interface?
