Overview
Pix is built on Raspberry Pi and prints photos you can physically organize and share. You'll need a printer for the full functionality!
If you are building a Pix completely from scratch, you will also need to use a laser cutter and a 3D printer. If you don't have access to either of these tools, don't worry – you can order the parts from Ponoko and Shapeways!
At a minimum, you'll need to use these tools:
Display with HDMI port, HDMI cable, USB keyboard, USB mouse, soldering iron, solder, wire, wire strippers.
