1 Raspberry Pi 1B. it's an older one but it will work fine with this project. :) 1 Rapsberry Pi prototyping board from adafruit, but any Raspberry Pi prototyping board will do. 1 Arduion Nano ( to be honest, I used the nana because my Python skills are limited... I knew a bit more Arduino than Pytho...

Printing all the parts is less than 1 kg so if a roll of filament is say, 29.00 Canadian, that's pretty inexpensive. Your right. I could setup an alternative email address that goes to me, then I enable the dispenser, Or simply put a daily limit in the python script, so she does not get more than th...

where are the dog lovers?

(bump)

i hope I'm not breaking too many rules by bumping this, but it is a very easy to setup dog treat dispenser.

(Ok I'm very proud of it...)

Cheers.

Hi all, my dog treat dispenser is based on this dog treat dispenser posted over here at http://www.nyccnc.com/judd-treat-machine.html . There are three video's on his site with great detail into the pythong script, the mechanics and creation of his dog treat dispenser, along with basic operation. Th...

i created a "sled" for my raspberry pi and picam for my Makerbot replicator 2 3d printer. It's on thingiverse.com: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:380431 i use it to monitor my 3d prints. using the information in this thread... :) just wanted to say thanks folks... :) i do have a quick qu...

i put my Sainsmart 4 channel relay board enclosure up on thingiverse as well.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:312762 feel free to use it...

cheers

This is such a great project, Thank you. I built it using an older generation 1 raspberry Pi, a logitech webcam pro 9000, T-Link wifi module, Sainsmart 4 channel relay board and a ULN2003 as a buffer. This is all being powered off one usb power supply. Works great, no issues with the relays or anyth...

I will go check out some arduino info then

I have an arduino, perhaps there is a sketch that monitors the output of the device buttons

ok thanks thats a good hint

Cheers

the joystick shows up as device #52 when sudo i2cdetect -y 1 is run :) so the journey continues :) now I have to see what I get on that port when i press the following buttons: Nothing Pressed: up: down: left: right: b: y: a: x: r: l: Zr: Zl: Home: Start: Select: I will edit the above post when I fi...

here is a drawing of the pinouts from the arcade stick.
going to hook them up to my raspberry pi and see what it shows up as,

hi there, I love all the work that has gone into Mame on raspberry pi, i was hoping to contrilbute... :) I have an Intec Combat Arcade Stick I bought in a bargin bin at the local Game Stop. This is designed to plug into a wii remote which we all know is an I2C buss. :) Also it requires only 3.3 volt...

The genius 8000 as indicated in my signature (and the list of approved wireless keyboards and mice) is a low power usb dongle that works great.
I can use it with a tenda311 WiFi dongle without having to use a powered usb hub.

The Wii arcade stick uses I2C and is a 3.3 volt device. http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Arcade-Stick-Nintendo/dp/B002OTAD1Q Could it be used instead of the mpc230017 chip? Has anyone tried it? It usually can be found at gamestop or ebgames for about $10.00. Might be a quick and easy stick for the pi arcad...

@waltermixxx when i tried your power to usb cable my screen will only flicker for a millisecond, turn off, and repeat every few seconds. i think it may be due to the 5v to 12v regulator, considering power is coming through, or is it maybe bad soldering? My board is slightly different than everyone ...

Howdy. I had an Acorn Atom here in Toronto Canada. I always wanted a BBC computer, and if I had the chance I would love to buy one today. (To join my collection of vintage cool computers I owned as a kid...) I think Global Electronics was the only place in Toronto that sold software for it so I most...

hi there, i'm wondering, this seems like a natural way to go. The GPIO port has an I2C port on it. The Wii Classic Controller and arcade stick both use I2C as it's primary method of communicating... has anyone tried to use them with the RetroPi arcade setups? :) here is the arcade stick being used w...

adafruit sells a 2x16 lcd with buttons that uses i2c, and plugs right onto the raspberry pi: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1110 I just purchased one, (waiting for it to arrive ) and it has several buttons and an rgb backlit lcd display... all using 2 pins. it uses a microchip mcp23017 port expand...

Here is the Raspberry Pi powered by 5 volts grabbed from the 3.5" LCD monitor. ( used a micro usb power adapter and chopped the cable so it was not too long ) http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8247/8482296353_8c4d0c1204.jpg Here is the Raspberry Pi powering the 3.5" LCD via the pi's usb cable....

waltermixxx

Hmmmm.... someone above mentioned powering the Raspberry pi off the display instead....

I actually like the sound of that better....
that way I have 2 free usb ports...
one for keyboard and one for wireless Tenda 311 wifi dongle...

hmmmmm.... i do like that...

waltermixxx

I have a similar 3.5" LCD panel (no switches on it), also for automobile applications. However this one will accept voltages as low as 5.0 volts. I made a USB to power adapter so I can plug the monitor via USB into my raspberry pi, along with a usb wireless keyboard/mouse dongle all from a blac...

Saturday Sept. 15th 4PM Raspberry Pi jam at www.Kwartzlab.ca

going to check it out.

I wonder if there will be any Rev 2.0 boards there.

waltermixxx

Thank you, I have a couple of chips (and a couple of the soic to dip adapters) so I will be making one myself. I will skip the resisters on the 3.3 side as suggested. Thank you. P.s. very groovy raspberry pi gpio breakout board. Is it available yet? There were no images of a finished board, just the...

waltermixxx

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10403 Can this be used with the raspberry pi without modification? Does the pi already have the pull up resisters in place? This board also does. Would they need to be removed? If I purchased the chip this is based on, would I need those pull ups on the 3.3v pi side?
