My board ordered 08/09/12 23:15:50 has been shipped.

I'll have to be up bright and early in the morning.

I ordered mine on 08/08/12 at around 23:00 but mine is still marked as processing.

I haven't heard a whisper from Farnell either

Is the Farnell packaging small enough to fit through a letter box or will I have to trek to the sorting office?

I thought that a reading of zero indicated that you have a short circuit between the 3v3 line and Gnd?

Have I got this wrong?

I'm starting to collect my soldering kit together

Order History: 08/08/2012 23:15:50 and I've just checked my order and it has changed to processing.

Well I would like to recommend this website:

http://www.bitsbox.co.uk

They have a couple of 5V DPDT relays at around £2.00 each

They have great prices, no minimum order, £1.50 UK postage and they have a very fast service, at least for the stuff I've ordered in the past.

I've just ordered a Gertboard as well. I didn't notice any delivery date but I'm a fairly patient guy so I'll be happy enough to wait till it arrives

I also used it as an excuse to get a pressure sensor and a few logic mosfets so I'll have stuff to play with while I'm waiting.

My Raspi arrived today 26 May 2012, Saturday afternoon. I ordered 4th March.

I think you should have a look at the arduino website

http://www.arduino.cc

There's loads of stuff there that I think you should look at before you decide on the nerdkit.

After seeing his rant on the PicKit3 I can believe anything of him.

What about printing out a template, making it up into a box, then using layers of PVA glue and kitchen roll paper to reinforce it.

Put on a few layers, sand it down, paint it and you have a nice solid case.

Very Art Attack

If your TV has a special mode for playing video games then try that. I think that in that mode the overscan is switched off.

I buy stuff from Farnell and I'm just a hobbyist.

<r>Some people have begun moving towards the Atmel ATmega1284p chip because it's the most complex of the arduino compatible chips currently available in a 40 DIP package. Much easier to solder and there is 3rd party support for it in the Arduino 1.0 IDE. <URL url="http://www.atmel.com/dev...

Congratulations, you deserve the chocolate

<t>I didn't have a problem with the website. My problem was that firefox didn't want to load the add on for the webinar. I had to download the .msi file separately and install it before I could get any further. I did all this around 2.30 so I guess the hordes hadn't descended then. ...

I really enjoyed the presentation. I lost the sound for a few minutes but I don't think I missed too much.

<t>Hi zappauk2003, While you are waiting for your Raspberry Pi to arrive you can always follow these tutorials and put an environment similar to the Raspberry Pi on your current computer. This is the link to the first part where Liam shows us how to set up the VirtualBox manage...

So are you people who think Webinar is an abomination ready to take up your positions being "cared for in the community", when British and American English cease to be dominant and the Asian English flavours take over?

I've booked my place.

<r>He's missed a 220R resistor from the MIDI out connector. The way he has it, it's possible to short the +5V supply to ground. Not a good thing. I left a comment. <URL url="http://www.midi.org/techspecs/.....rispec.php">http://www.midi.org/techspecs/.....rispec.php</URL> Mart...

I ordered mine on 4th March and have a delivery date of 14th May.
