Battery pack testing.

I just got my new battery pack yesterday and wanted to test it as soon as possible.

It booted up and ran fairly normally. I didn't notice any sort of change in the boot speed or performance. The battery handled everything without a problem.

However, when I ran it overnight using my PwnPi distro, I noticed that every time one of the four lights when out (signalling that it had gone down 25%), something in the battery would reset or lower the power lower then the Pi could run off of. Seeing as it was only $17, it works great as a test battery. I'll look for a more stable battery pack when I get farther with the development.

Project Omni-tool

All true gamers know about Mass Effect's Omni-tool, the holographic computer/3d printer/scanner/programming and hacking utility/communicator/etc. Lets just say it can do anything. ;-)
My goal is to find a way to duplicate a few of its features (unfortunately, I can't add in the holograms just yet ;-) ) using modern technology, namely, the Raspberry Pi.

The slightly larger then credit card sized computer will be the heart of the entire device, with additional hardware added to the GPIO pins on the bottom corner of the Pi.
Lets see if someone with little programming and hardware knowledge can make a gadget akin to the legendary device of Commander Shepard. ;-)
