Finally had a chance to get the Lepton working with the Pi. Seems to have some dodgy on bootup tho; during the boot process it appears the Pi shoots something at the Lepton causing it to get locked up and require a reset. Obviously no good long term, will likely experiment with the newer model 2 Pi board and see if it also has this issue. Getting away from the RCA jack on the model 1 will be ideal anyway, as the newer 3.5 jack will result in far less cable clutter. May also look at the model2 rev A, as the lower power draw could be advantageous, tho lack of ethernet is slightly questionable from a convenience standpoint.
