copilot

copilot is an application designed to be used with a Raspberry Pi and touch screen to copy files to an external USB device. This project was originally started to allow my parents (who are big fans of Geocaching) to copy files to their Geocaching-enabled GPS that had a limited memory capacity from a small device, removing the need to carry a laptop with them. The hardware costs around $100 so it's pretty relatively cheap.

The hardware it's been run on is the following (Adafruit is awesome, btw!):

• Raspberry Pi 2 (https://www.adafruit.com/products/2358)
• PiTFT Plus Touchscreen (https://www.adafruit.com/products/2441)
• PiTFT Pibow+ (https://www.adafruit.com/products/2779)

Intended Usage

copilot is designed to be a repository of files where you use a web interface (built into copilot) to upload files before traveling and then using the touchscreen while on the road to copy files to/delete files from an external USB drive (whether it's a GPS or another USB drive).

Maturity

copilot is a new project so there will be some bugs! Don't blame me if it deletes all your files! :) It shouldn't but this is your warning.
