回顾ElecrowCrowPi2RaspberryPi笔记本电脑和STEM教育平台

It&＃39;s more than "just a laptop shaped case" for the Raspberry Pi, the CrowPi2 has an integrated 1080p screen, 22 onboard sensors (that can be connected and disconnected with a switch), a microphone and 2MP webcam, speaker, as well as support for both 5v battery and 12v external power.

CrowPi2不仅是Raspberry Pi的“笔记本电脑外壳”&＃xff0c;还具有集成的1080p屏幕&＃xff0c;22个板载传感器(可以通过开关连接和断开连接)&＃xff0c;麦克风和2MP网络摄像头&＃xff0c;扬声器以及支持适用于5v电池和12v外部电源。

The keyboard is also quiet clever and very thin. It&＃39;s held on with magnets and is charged with any micro-USB connector. Hidden underneath is an upgrade of the original CrowPi sensor board!

键盘也很安静&＃xff0c;很薄。 它用磁铁固定&＃xff0c;并通过任何微型USB连接器充电。 隐藏在下面的是原始CrowPi传感器板的升级&＃xff01;

Here&＃39;s a close up of the sensor board:

The part I was the most surprised with was that there&＃39;s 20&＃43; projects already setup out of the box. I usually get a device like this and maybe there&＃39;s some sample code on the desktop that you can run with Python. The CrowPi2 is more polished in that it has a whole front-end introductory UI that lets you run the samples right away - and they are cool samples! I show a few of the LIVE samples in my Video on Twitter.

我最惊讶的部分是&＃xff0c;已经有20多个项目开箱即用。 我通常会得到这样的设备&＃xff0c;并且可能在桌面上有一些可以使用Python运行的示例代码。 CrowPi2更加优美&＃xff0c;因为它具有完整的前端介绍性UI&＃xff0c;可让您立即运行样本-它们是很酷的样本&＃xff01; 我在Twitter上的视频中显示了一些LIVE示例。

The plastic in the early version I got is a little soft, and I might have preferred it in black versus silver, but it&＃39;s light and drops in a backpack easily. It&＃39;s somewhat thick (remember this is a Raspberry PI, not an iPad or a millimeter thin laptop) so to be conscious if you think you&＃39;re getting an Ultrabook. This is a Raspberry Pi-based laptop and learning platform. Would be a great starter for any kid as the Pi4 is pretty legit and it&＃39;ll even run Chromium!

我得到的早期版本中的塑料有点软&＃xff0c;我可能会喜欢黑色而不是银色&＃xff0c;但是它很轻&＃xff0c;很容易掉在背包里。 它有些厚(请记住这是Raspberry PI&＃xff0c;而不是iPad或一毫米薄的笔记本电脑)&＃xff0c;因此如果您认为自己购买的是Ultrabook&＃xff0c;请多加注意。 这是基于Raspberry Pi的笔记本电脑和学习平台。 Pi4相当合法&＃xff0c;甚至可以运行Chromium&＃xff0c;因此对于任何孩子来说都是一个很好的入门者。

NOTE: I did try to join a Zoom web-based meeting over Chromium and while the speaker and mic were detected, I wasn&＃39;t able to get Chromium to see the webcam. I&＃39;ll report back on this as clearly all the parts are there to allow this little laptop to join at least a web Zoom meeting! That would be even cooler.

注意&＃xff1a;我确实尝试通过Chromium加入基于Zoom的网络会议&＃xff0c;并且在检测到扬声器和麦克风时&＃xff0c;我无法让Chromium看到网络摄像头。 我将对此进行报告&＃xff0c;因为显然所有部件都在其中&＃xff0c;以使这台小型笔记本电脑至少可以参加网络Zoom会议&＃xff01; 那会更酷。

UPDATE! I was able to enter a web-based Zoom meeting! There&＃39;s a little USB cable underneath that snakes out then in again to allow access to the webcam. Very clever! I don&＃39;t think this is a reliable option for Zoom meetings, but I can confirm that the webcam works!

更新&＃xff01; 我能够进入基于Web的Zoom会议&＃xff01; 下方有一条小USB电缆&＃xff0c;该电缆会弯出然后再次插入以允许访问网络摄像头。 非常聪明&＃xff01; 我认为这不是Zoom会议的可靠选择&＃xff0c;但我可以确认网络摄像头可以正常工作&＃xff01;

Here&＃39;s a side view of the CrowPi2, as well as how the Raspberry Pi mounts inside.

这是CrowPi2的侧视图&＃xff0c;以及Raspberry Pi在内部的安装方式。

There is even a cool little retractable tray in the back of the CrowPi2 that you can use for a battery (with a micro-USB cable you can run the entire device) or for holding wires, LEDs, and resisters for projects.

CrowPi2的背面甚至还有一个凉爽的可伸缩小托盘&＃xff0c;您可以将其用作电池(使用micro-USB电缆可以运行整个设备)或用于容纳电线&＃xff0c;LED和项目电阻器。

The real magic is the sample projects - they are quite cool. They&＃39;ve added AI and Machine Learning lessons with Thonny PI, loaded MineCraft Pi. There are games, sensor tests, and they basically exercise the whole main sensor board with Python.

真正的魔力是样本项目-它们非常酷。 他们使用Thonny PI加载了MineCraft Pi&＃xff0c;从而增加了AI和机器学习课程。 有游戏&＃xff0c;传感器测试&＃xff0c;它们基本上使用Python来练习整个主传感器板。

NOTE: I&＃39;ve also installed .NET Core on Raspberry Pi and it works great since it&＃39;s an ARM Machine. You can even run Docker!

注意&＃xff1a;我还在Raspberry Pi上安装了.NET Core&＃xff0c;由于它是ARM机器&＃xff0c;因此效果很好。 您甚至可以运行Docker&＃xff01;

The basic kit is very reasonably priced compared to the much more barebones kits you see on Amazon. While I wouldn&＃39;t call it a "premium" kit due to the plastic case, it&＃39;s definitely the best Raspberry Pi kit I&＃39;ve ever used.

与您在亚马逊上看到的更多准系统工具包相比&＃xff0c;基本工具包的价格非常合理。 由于塑料外壳&＃xff0c;我不称其为“高级”套件&＃xff0c;但这绝对是我使用过的最好的Raspberry Pi套件。

You can go support the new CrowPi2 over on their KickStarter ending this week, it&＃39;s pretty darn cool.

您可以在本周结束的KickStarter上继续支持新的CrowPi2 &＃xff0c;这真是太酷了。
