Raspi Lapdock: Ready for Hacking

I've gotten my Lapdock + Raspberry Pi ready for hardware and software hacking, and I have to admit that I'm thrilled with the results.

Ingredients:

• Motorola Bionic Lapdock
• Raspberry Pi (Rev B)
• Raspberry Pi camera
• Tenda USB WiFi Adapter
• 3D printed Raspberry Pi holder
• 3D printed Raspberry Pi camera case
• Short solderless bread board + components and wires
• Cables and adapters for the lapdock <--> raspi connections
• Lots of hook and loop fasteners to keep cables and devices tamed

At the end, I have a completely portable <3 lb wireless hacktop good not only for working on the go, but for keeping my work area neat.
