CE Certification and Schedule Delay
We wanted to inform you that our project will be delayed. The CE certification process is taking longer than expected—we’ve only secured certifications for the data cable and one product so far. Read the full update.
PCB Progress and Timeline Adjustment
We are excited to share that we have received the main PCBs for the Pi-Cast KVM, shown in the picture below. Our next step will be to thoroughly test each PCB to ensure everything functions as expected. Read the full update.
Production Delays
We would like to update you on the progress of our project. Due to the requirements for CE certification, we needed to make some modifications to the hardware. Read the full update.
It's Happening
We're thrilled to announce the arrival of key components last week, including the CM4002000 modules from Raspberry Pi approved reseller, EDATAC, and the HDMI to CSI-2 chip (TC358743XBG). This marks a significant step forward in our project. Read the full update.

Our Campaign Is Now Live!
First and foremost, we want to express our profound gratitude to all of you. Your patience and unwavering support over the past year have been crucial to the progress of our project. We have achieved significant milestones during this period, including the final design of our PCBs. To enhance the functionality and flexibility of Pi-Cast KVM, we have developed accessories like an Ethernet/ATX/Console HAT, a Dual-ATX Multiport Switch, a USB 3.0 & M.2 B-Key Module, and various combinations of the above. We also put some time into polishing the aesthetic design of our products, creating an enclosure that is both practical and stylish. Read the full update.
Design Improvements, Accessories, and Testing Plans
It has been awhile since we pre-launched the Pi-Cast project. Over the past few months, our main focus has been on redesigning the form factor of the Pi-Cast, optimizing the circuit, and developing new accessories. This update include details about our add-on boards, our enclosure, our heat sink, and our testing plans. For now, the Pi-Cast PCB design is almost finalized. Regarding accessories, we have developed three kinds: Read the full update.
