As redrobes said, capturing The IR codes and sending them out again is dead easy. I'm not one for adding further complication/IC's but most small microcontrollers (pixaxe,basic stamp etc) can directly read and send the modulated IR stuff with few additional components. See Parallax's website for the...

haha very good, I like that.

thats pretty impressive and something I'd actually use on occasion. well done sir.

Pepsi - Coke just tastes weird these days. Pepsi used to keep me up all night for playing games. Now I don't drink it unless it's diluting some spirits.

Okay now i feel stupid. to run the python script from any commandline needs 'python script location' which makes it work.

tumblebomb

well I found the issue is the same as the other debian issue of programs not accepting password on the wiki. fixed now.

@kevpartner I'm having the same trouble. running Linux Mint here (ubuntu version) and that code works fine in Geany IDE but will not run by double clicking or doing ./filename in terminal(gets an interesting error message. i'm pretty sure it works in Debian on my raspberry pi. I'll double check tomo...

Hi I just setup my Pi tonight (debian install). Created my self a different user account as in the guide and used visudo to give it sudo control, did some python coding. All going well. I come to finish my session and considered just pullling out power cable but thought I should do it properly. I tr...

cheers Feersumendjinn thats awesome, Why I didn't know about that site before? I'd certainly heard of them. Nice and cheap too. I am getting sucked back into this whole world now it seems

@rurwin I had considered that but hoped it wouldn't be an issue. I'll have to dust off me C/++ or just use a microproc in between. Maybe all these lovely fancy USB expansions boards and things have there own way and means. That's a good idea to mix it in with python once I figure out how to do it. I...

Hmm I'm surprised no replies yet. You all may like to know the C code I found in a book is: 'sleep(time)' and did use it in a sonar application. I think that's fair to say the python one will be similar. I can't wait to test it.

Hi Guys, I'm pretty new to python ( but not programming in general) and have recieved my Pi this week. I have an ultrasonic sensor kicking around which I wanted setting up on a GPIO pin. In code I will need to send a High output for a brief amount of time (10 micro seconds think), turn pin into an i...

Maybe you want to try a virtual machine running on a standard desktop/laptop? Theres a lot of good sites to learn from the ground up how to work Linux. try Linux zoo: http://linuxzoo.net/ There will be easy things to do and hard things to do on the RaspPi. Just go in baby steps first and you'll be f...

Courgettes a big no no, all mush with no taste.

<t>Hi Bruce, This is a bit of tangential question (don't know if that word works but it sounds good). If the crowd source project falls through (god forbid) maybe there could be a 3D printing option setup with one of the shops online so people may still be able to get the a same/similar d...

<t>Hi basalt, A friend of mine used to do this for robotics projects during his degree. Its not very hard technically depending, on exactly what is needed in the algorithm. I'll try to dig anything out of my books but if you search online for robotics vision/object detection there will b...

<t>Hi Bruce, It's looking good and It'll be very handy to have. When I first started Uni we built robots with Lego, shame I got rid of all of mine. As a design study/engineering project its a pretty cool example as well. Its a tricky thing making a box not look like a box, it...

<t>I certainly like the idea of an Rpi MMO game. What ever restrictions and license is totally up to you. its kinda moot anyway until the thing is playable but may be best defined before people start contributing code or i imagine great big problems. Some form of restriction is fine in my...

tumblebomb

<t>Depends how hard you're going to push it. I have an atom netbook running as server which is't very noisy and mostly copes well. My best guess is that I think with a Rpi you'd be limited to streaming to one machine at a time. A workaround would be to remove small noisy fans and install ...

<t>Everyone who has used a computer running Windows will know how they are nice and fast at first but then overtime time the OS fills up with crud and it slows way down. I have never experienced this with Linux.. and didn't even think it was possible. My mate thinks it will, particularly ...

Thanks Dom, great to know.

Sounds good, and handy. Maybe a bit big for current need. I find Citrix solutions tend to work well where I work but once we introduce the users things start breaking. ;) I just spend 50mins on the phone trying to resolve one guys issue.

It'll just be one person at a time I think

<t>Well a mate of mine, who helps with a charity, has been asked to come up with a remote access solution. The users have to be a couple of rooms away from where the hardware is, a Windows 7 box, as I believe there a risk of anything expensive getting stolen. They had thought of a KVM sol...

I would quite fancy taking a laptop power pack, getting an appropriate charger and step-down circuit. It would certainly provide many hours of use but not very portable.
