This week’s update: cooling on the Pilet. We’ve focused on two things: keeping it cool under load and staying quiet. Both Pilet 5 and 7 use a solid aluminum chassis that doubles as a passive heatsink. We also designed a custom aluminum heatsink that connects directly to it.…

We'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!

Pilet's stereo audio module design is now complete. 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.

Here is a preview of Pilet's NVMe module which is now in manufacturing and testing. 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…

We're completely redesigning the keyboard/gamepad module for Pilet, but before we dive in, we'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions. kickstarter.com/projects/souls…

Here’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? Let us know in the comments! kickstarter.com/projects/souls…

Raising $400K in under 48 hours has been absolutely unreal—thank you so much for the support! We’ve added new stretch goals. Check them out at kickstarter.com/projects/souls…

The PCB for Pilet’s battery module is almost production-ready. Huge thanks to #pcbway for their awesome support and sponsoring our prototyping.

Putting the final touches on the battery module PCB of Pilet. To make it smarter, I’m adding a low-power MCU (ATtiny412) along with a battery monitoring chip that connects to the Raspberry Pi via I²C. This setup lets the Raspberry Pi OS control and monitor the batteries directly.

Here’s a sneak peek at the final draft of the #schematics of our battery management module for Pilet. Once we launch, we’ll be releasing both the schematics and #kicad PCB files as open source.

Here’s a look at the Pilet’s back panel design: CNC aluminum build, open access to the GPIO with a protective plastic cover, and perhaps a built-in kickstand to keep it propped up and ready to go.
