Too bad: it is indeed possible to restart a Raspberry Pi 2 by using a high power flash.
It appears that U16, the SMPS chip, is the culprit.
Yes, bit of bluetac on that chip and it survives the flash
Source: Raspberry Pi • View topic – Why is the PI2 camera-shy ?
Simon Stuart checked it:
it’s true!
Put the high-power flash (which I believe uses a Xenon bulb) on my camera, and behold a shot to the top of the board does indeed crash it every time!
Never in a million years would I have thought such a thing were possible!
At first Simon could not reproduce it: you really need a high power flash.
I’m glad I didn’t order any Raspberry Pi 2 yet.

Jean-Luc Aufranc. is a great guy with lots of knowledge in the embedded world (read his resume).
I’ve been interested in Raspberry Pi experiments for a while now, so I was glad that today he pointed me to this very nice kit:
$120 Raspberry Pi Bundle with LCD Display, Expansion Boards, Cables, and Accessories
You can get it through DealExtreme, which I will do soon.
(I just saw how a guy is using a massive amount of Raspberry Pi and custom ASICs to mine for BitCoins)

Interactive map of Raspberry Pi showing which components is what. Hoover your mouse over the board to see the meaning of the components.

Cool: now you can use a Raspberry Pi to play Watchdog (:

Computing on not so common platforms it so much fun, especially when you can use familiar tools for it.
A couple of years ago, I did a fun project with an USB WebCam, a Pololu USB servo controller, two servo motors, a servo relay and a laser pointer. The device would point the laser pointer at the biggest moving object in the WebCam view, and flash the laser pointer at it.
All code was C# running on Windows.
Basically there are two classes on “small” devices that run .NET code (apart from smartphones and tablets):
This might be a chance to lift it to a new level and embed everything in one device (:
The cool thing about the .NET Micro Framework is that you can do real time stuff.
