Pi Community member Arthur Amarra of aonsquared.co.uk has recently launched a new Kickstarter for a small add-on board for the Raspberry Pi which uses a Nokia 5110 screen to display data. He’s created various different pledge levels including one with a BMP180 barometer/temperature sensor attached, and another with an included GPS board. You can currently get the complete kit for £9 (plus reasonable postage – £3 for UK) on the Very Earlybird. This rises to £10 for Earlybird and £11 for regular. Other options cost more, but you very much get what you pay for.

I think it’s a great Kickstarter – a product that is cheap & easy to use. Arthur has already written code to help you interface with the screen (which you can view on Github). Delivery for the kits is Jul-Aug this year, which is reasonable.
