Drew, thanks for the link. Yes, the Gertboard does look like it will

have allot of possibilities. I bet it could control bigger Electric

Motors too. Like for Electric Car Conversions...

the raspberry pi would make a good road test, should e14 start to cary it.

The main problem will be to get one of the 10,000 boards sold at the end of February. The project seems very popular.

They've just released the binary SD card for Debian last night and thousands of people have already downloaded it.

anyone any ideas on how to connect a touch screen to it? eg a psp screen?

would be a great bit of kit then...

Many touchscreen are using LVDS and the Raspberry Pi has a DSI interface, but some people/companies are working on a DSI to LVDS adapator and plan to provide a LCD Touchscreen kit for the Raspberry Pi.

The DSI to LVDS adapter is actually for LCDs!  LVDS is predominantly used for the LCD and not the touch screen.  The touch screen part is usually connected separately and it's usually over USB.  Form factor is just over either a ZIF connector, 5P/4P internal connectors like used by basic webcams and BT modules in laptops, or just soldered directly.

While cost will depend on your set up, with variables like different size screens, different size touch screens, single touch versus multi-touch, and internal vs external setups.

If price is a concern then the smaller you can go the better, touch screens can get very expensive with larger screens, but laptop sizes 12.1" and smaller are usually fairly affordable.  While you can just get a touch screen kit and add it to an existing LCD display...
