  1. @masek How many months did you wait for it? I’m still hesitant and can’t decide between this, the #Beepy/#Beepberry or the #Mecha #Comet

  2. I think the time has come to sell my #Beepy (née #Beepberry). I pre-ordered it and have had it for a few months but it's just not a device I use very much.

    It's practically brand new and has a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W with it and a number of 3D printed cases that @aaronage kindly made for me.

    I'm in the UK and I'm hoping I can find someone who would like to buy it fairly locally. Please DM me if you're interested!

  3. Playing beeps* on my Beepy with a piezo beeper

    * Ok, the are actually GRUB_INIT_TUNEs I found online

  4. I really need a usecase for my beeper. Already found a case: Original PalmPilot leather case fits great

  5. I’ve got a #beepberry. It’s neat, but I’d like to leave the pi’s normal hdmi+usb console alone, and instead use the beepberry’s display and keyboard as a separate pty (or whatever). Anyone heard of such a thing?

    (I’d also love full documentation of the i2c/SPI/&c interfaces the pi0 sees, so I can stop running Linux on the thing.)

    I *really* want the mythical Book 386. :blobcatdroolreach:

  7. Looks like @sqfmi renamed their #Beepberry to just #Beepy. Did they get into legal trouble with #Blackberry? 🤔

    Maybe they just decided it's better to spin their own keyboard, which I would agree with!

    In any way, I really want one. I can't wait to figure out all the compatibility issues with my #BananaPiZeroM2 / #BananaPi. It would be cool if it works though.

  11. The #beepy is the ultimate #fidgetToy, and it’s extensible :-)
    (How did I forget about the tactile joy of using a BB-keyboard and when will I add some rotary switches and buttons to the device?)

  14. My #Beepy (née #Beepberry) arrived over the weekend and I *thought* I had all the parts to put it together after work.

    beepy.sqfmi.com

    Not so fast! I pilfered the Micro SD card out of my Zero W because the card in my nephew's R4 DS cart crapped out.

    So now my options are:
    - Order a new (pack of) SD card(s) online and wait a few more days.
    - Take the SD card out of my Flipper, back it up, and then order a replacement for it.
    - Haul my ass down to Target and pay market price.

  15. It’s been 69 days since I ordered my #beepberry and it seems they’ve quietly rebranded to #beepy. I wonder if the ghost of RIM’s legal department came after them.

    I think my preorder *just* missed the end of the last batch. Has anyone got theirs or a source of updates on the project?

  16. The #beepy is an extremely cute device to tinker with. It now needs #Lora and a small scroll wheel - at least that was my plan :-)
    (and some screws…)

  19. its a #beepberry from beepy.sqfmi.com/

    and i noticed i have soldered stuff to any pi zero w, going with a non wifi for the first boot.

  20. @scruss It could be the beginning of an interesting conversation:
    A keyboard from a different era found a new life in a modern device.
    The #blackberry keyboard is the #ModelM of mobile keyboards!

  26. Observation: the #beepberry can run the (Python-based, CLI TUI) toot client, but I think all of the web ones for #Mastodon require JS, so text-based browsers like lynx don’t work.

    If only I knew someone who had previously hosted and maintained a lightweight, HTML only, UI for another social network at some point in the past, *and* could persuade that person to consider a similar thing for #Mastodon and other #Fediverse sites e.g. Lemmy…

    Hey @Edent do you know anyone? You usually know people.

  27. As the image below shows, SQFMI has taken a #Raspberry Pi Zero and mated to a carrier board with a display and a keyboard on its other side. Called the #BeepBerry, the small #Linux computer measures 104 x 74 x 15 mm and powers the Raspberry Pi Zero with a 2,000 mAh LiPo battery.

  28. Looking for a device for simple chatting? Enter the Beepberry — the fusion of a backlit BlackBerry Classic keyboard (with the logo button and all) and mini-touchpad, a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and a Sharp Memory LCD 400x240 screen. Some assembly required, rubber band not included, but it might be perfect for keeping in touch without the usual smartphone distractions.

    Willst du dir den BeepBerry bauen?

    Ich habe mir mal einen Ben NanoNote rausgelassen:

    Hatte das gleiche Problem, das ich vermute, das der BeepBerry hat: Interessante Hardware, aber zu klein.

  30. I’ve just impulse preordered a Beepberry. I never had a Blackberry so have no nostalgia, but I’ve wanted a little Linux handheld for ages and this one actually loosely has a purpose. Such a cool little thing! liliputing.com/beepberry-is-a- #beepberry

  31. If I didn't own a #Unihertz Titan Slim and Pocket I'd probably get the #BeepBerry because I love a good clickity keyboard.

    Still such a unique device that is just enough jank and hobbled together pieces to be snazzy.
