After little research I found this nice ready to order kit made in Germany: http://shop.emsystech.de/de/Raspi-LCD-Module
Think the price is good too and it just got available again this week.
Here is a demo-video:

This would be the best way to go I think as it looks really nice working and the buttons would fit perfect too.
2nd solution would be an own "kit" - funded maybe by a kickstarter campain.

AWESOME work - really cool!
It just worked out of the box and config is too easy. Thanks!
Maybe for future releases it would be awesome to have some external LCD hooked up to show up infos of the miners (Hashrate, earned BTC, ...) - I found several projects with LCD display for the Pi, like that here:

Thanks for the report!
I have been playing with various LCD to do exactly that, it is a bit more complicated for the end user to do though so I am working on putting together kits or even fully built units for people to buy.
I just need the time/capital to put it all together and minepeon as a project does not generate anything near the amount needed. If I could get it off the ground the funds generated would go back into minepeon development.

hi new user here. it works like a charm! dd the image, visit web site, enter pool/worker info and connect the pfga bfl single. I noticed the graph page shows values off byt 10^3. mine fpga single shows as 800 G, should be 800 M.
anyway amazing distro. thank you! (my setup: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BKq1OyJCcAAWJtB.jpg )

sorry for so many posts
my usb hub is crap, so many errors, moved to a full pc
final start command for 5 cm1's was
./cgminer --icarus-timing long -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB6 -S /dev/ttyUSB7 -S /dev/ttyUSB10 -S /dev/ttyUSB11 -S /dev/ttyUSB14 -S /dev/ttyUSB15 -S /dev/ttyUSB18 -S /dev/ttyUSB19

So I had to do
modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403 to make the usb serials arrive in /dev/ttyUSBx
then I had to modify /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cgminer.service
Changing
ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer -S auto --api-listen --api-allow W:172.0.0.1 --sharelog /opt/minepeon/log/share.log -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
to read
ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB4 -S /dev/ttyUSB5 -S /dev/ttyUSB6 -S /dev/ttyUSB7 -S /dev/ttyUSB8 -S /dev/ttyUSB9 -S /dev/ttyUSB10 -S /dev/ttyUSB11 -S /dev/ttyUSB12 -S /dev/ttyUSB13 -S /dev/ttyUSB14 -S /dev/ttyUSB15 -S /dev/ttyUSB16 -S /dev/ttyUSB17 -S /dev/ttyUSB18 -S /dev/ttyUSB19 --api-listen --api-allow W:172.0.0.1 --sharelog /opt/minepeon/log/share.log -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
I note the scale of the graph reports Th not Gh.

its been ok since i powered it with the ubec.
So my cairnsmore fgpa's are plugged in straight out of the box, but dont seem to be detected.
I will confirm they have a bitstream on them but do i need to do anything else to detect them

twice now after a couple of days the pi just refuses to talk, its pingable but otherwise dead, rebooting and it wont boot up.
So hopefully it was a power problem.
That is a bit concerning, it will have something to do with the power though.So hopefully it was a power problem.
I am running my 'developement' one off an apple USB power plug that came with a iPhone and have had no problems with it, 100+ days up now with 4 of those running a Butterfly Labs ASIC

after another dead pi, I have changed the psu to a ubec that can do 5amps and swapped the sd for another one.
just reinstalled , fingers crossed.
your pi is broken or what did go wrong? just reinstalled , fingers crossed.

I just wanted to say thank you for this. Awesome job!
Congrats Neil on getting an ASIC! 
Thank you kindly, I am in awe of the little device, it puts out 5.4 GH/s constantly and it isn't the size of a room!!
Neil
P.S. MinePeon version 0.1.0 ASIC out this weekend!
Congrats Neil on getting an ASIC! Well deserved for everything you do!

thx
Is there a list of supported devices?
Well it will be a subset of the mining software.For cgminer it is all BFL, Icarus based, ModMinerQuad, Avalon and ZTex
"Icarus based" covers a few well known: Icarus, Lancelot, Cairnsmore1 and Asicminer USB Erupter
and also anything else that emulates an Icarus device.
... anything else is a waste of time ...
I enable all the above but Avalon in my github cgminer-binaries rpi binary release
Exactly as Kano said in the upcoming release with the addition of Avalon compiled in (He wrote a lot of cgminer, so he should know).
I will go through my emails and compile a list of tested mining devices soon, I have been distracted by something else today....

I've tested all except Lancelot but I'll get one soon to test.
