Rasberry PI - Best invention since sliced bread.

[Xsannz]

Raspberry vs Rasberry!

Either way: I claim this thread for a Raspberry Pi vs Cotton Candy showdown thread!

edit: Could I get a Merge to the Rasberry thread please?

MERGED....

[Xsannz]

I'm curious about that. When it can just handle full detailed quake 3, would it be able to handle xbox games?

Pic related, Its a sexy beast.

Open it in a seperate tab / save it if you want to see it in all its glory.

Spoiler :

Probably wont handle xbox games.

to emulate another hardware platform take almost 5x the computational power of the platform you are emulating.. thus why even high end pc's still cant emulate ps3 well...

[Xsannz]

with an ARM based processor you could probably get android up and running on it fairly easily..  DIY tablet ...

To Arduino, or to Raspberry Pi....that is the question....

Both

[Bounty Hunter]

Both

student.

also need two 8" woofers and a few components for my loudspeaker project too

Pi (B) > Mega > Pi (A) > Uno

Got an email yesterday, Saying I could buy one.

I'll see you in 3 months, my sweet raspberry pi.

Hopefully they'll still be up for grabs in a few weeks when I can muster together $63....

I heard this was for linux...HOLY BEJESUS.

Don't google, you'll ruin the surprise.

if you're on windows 7, Probably vista too, you'll need to go Control panel - > Programs and features - > "Turn windows features on or off" - > Make sure Telnet client is ticked.

for XP you'll be sweet,

Then go into Command prompt and type

"Telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl"

It's not the whole thing, probably less than 1/4? I'd guess. Still, awesome lol.

Sorry if thats extremely old lol, but I hadn't heard of it, in my many years of the internet.

I think i've been inspired to write a text adventure game now.

It is always interesting when:
Things
Repeat
Themselves


As for a text adventure game: You should always make the exits NORTH, SOUTH and DENNIS

[Kayne]

Sorry guys

I knew something from 2006 was probably going to have been posted here already, and I suppose searching that command line would of confirmed that for me.

But i'm lazy.

[Pyromanik]

"Is that the telnet starwars?" he says, without looking or even properly reading the posts.

[Kayne]

Ahahaha

I haven't seen it all.

I've been on the internet for many years now and only just come across this. Hope you enjoy it.

I walk in other's foot steps

Someone here just had theirs arrive, pretty sweet wee device, can't think of a use for it myself though lol. Perhaps linux and webcam for security monitoring?

[Tandoori]

The much coveted, DEFCON 20 badge. Now with lights!
2 x PS2 plug, 1 x VGA, 1 x Mini USB, and other stuff that I'm not sure of.

[Codex]

could you ask when they ordered and how many weeks till dispatch it said? Want to know when i'll be getting mine :@

[Codex]

Sure thing, will ask him on Monday

[toofast]

I ordered 22nd may, and got it 23rd june.

[private_hell]

5 weeks is the info ive been given

[Kayne]

ordered it around 2 , maybe 3 weeks ago and at the time said 12 weeks dispatch.

What i'm really wanting to know is how long after that ;p

[Codex]

For every time you ask the same question it will be delayed by a week.

Had a go at running raspbmc (XMBC for pi) today. Seems like its runs alright when you are doing one thing. However if it tries to use its plugins in the background, you get a bit of stutter. Also couldn't seem to get my external HDD to run on it. Maybe it was because it wasn't getting enough power, or it could of been a format issue. Ended up wiping it to get OpenELEC which is a XMBC project which is meant to run a lot smoother on the pi. But that might have to be done on another day.

[mattnz]

What resolution?

[toofast]

1920x1080. Read around a bit, and some of the video lag/stutter is caused by trying to run it at 60hz, which seems to be a bit too much for the pi. But it only allowed me to drop down to 50Hz at my res, rather than the 24hz some other people had said they got it running at. Probably should of played around a bit more on raspbmc, but got a bit annoyed, so thought i would load the OpenELEC.

Another thing to note, for anyone looking to use this as a HTPC, is it does not hardware decode MPEG-2 because of licencing issues.
