I'm planning on making a NetBook/Laptop with something like a Raspberry Pi or a Beaglebone Black. I thought not to choose them because they don't have enough GPIO pins to incorporate a keyboard. I have looked at the UDOO but I'm not sure because it looks a bit thick. I need something like 77 - 78 pins, the UDOO has 76.
ReplyDeleteCould I just use a Normal Android mini PC and hook up something like an Arduino micro for the keyboard through USB? What would be better than the Arduino micro with more GPIO pins?
