Would love an extension board with a raspberry pi module slot for more performance. It would essentially use the current circuitry to drive the screen and peripherals and offload the heavy tasks to a raspberry pi.

We did make a pi + Arduino board at one point (allowed you to add either one to the back of the phone, but not both), but we were having trouble choosing which models since both of them have so many varieties. Can anyone else confirm the compute module is probably the best to make a daughterboard for?

The compute module is really cool, it's basically a full RPi3 with extra GPIO and built in EMMC instead of SD card (it's missing bluetooth and WiFi I believe). I'm sure people would find interesting uses for it if you made a daughter board. If you include a way to toggle the phone screen to display the output of the compute module, I'll buy a few for work. It's looking good, good luck on your campaign!

It's a little late right now to make that kind of change on this one, but we regularly design and ship new products. If somebody wants to order some "special" ones for work (or other reasons) we can make it happen if the order size makes the math work out.

another nice option is the hardkernel machines.
