Raspberry Pi Garage Door Opener (2 Garage Doors)

Hi,

I want to build a Raspberry Pi Garage Door Opener which would open 2 garage doors (with the iPhone app). Other than a Raspberry Pi what would I need? Also could someone link some instructions?

Re: Raspberry PI is slightly damaged, what should I do?

If it still works great otherwise order a new one and put your sdcard in the new unit (like nothing ever happened :D) as the Raspberry Pi will only cost you $35 maybe less depending on your model good luck :)

Re: Is A Case necessary?

I keep my raspberry pi in a case (a clear one) because it looks cool and prevents you from breaking it and have never had an issue with it.

Re: Using ipad as screen with ssh

I don't think you can get a GUI over SSH (If your using for security just connect over a local ip it is secure enough) however I run a VNC Server on my Pi and connect from my iPad too I use Wyse PocketCloud Pro (It costs $14.99 but they have a free limited version but I paid to support their develop...

Re: Keyboard repeating keystrokes with PI

Buying a nonwireless keyboard could help but a self powered usb hub is a essential. I have a self powered usb hub with 10 ports that i plug all of my devices into then into the pi and my actual pi unit has it's own 5V|1A adapter so power is never an issue for me. When you have repeating keys power c...

Re: Webcam + Pi = useless??

If you buy a selfpowered usb hub (i use one to power all of my devices for my rasppi then just plug the self powered usb hub into the rasppi and all of 10 devices are connected) you might have better luck it could also just be a driver or a codec issue as many web cams are propeitary maybe buy a web...

Re: Is it just me or does VNC use a seperate X Screen?

PocketCloud Pro thanks for the information however would the same apply to using tightvncserver as I type "tightvncserver" and then I switched the port 1 over because it was not connecting however the server could be refering to the session as X1 as X0 might be what is displayed on my TV

Is it just me or does VNC use a seperate X Screen?

Also I run tightvncserver and connect to port 5901 not 5900 (my iPad won't let me use port 5900). It is not an issue but just wanted to confirm this and also know if this can be changed.

A faster CPU

At some point I would like to see the Raspberry Pi have a CPU that can reach speeds of 1GHZ normally. I know that you can overclock but still would like to see those speeds. I think that Ram is not nearly as big of an issue as the CPU speed as performance is sometimes limited.

Setting up my Raspberry Pi,

Ok I have been setting up my Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2 and have come upon a small bump in the road. I install chromium from the Raspbian Repos and my install of Java for LibreOffice and other apps cannot access Java Icetea web plugin. How can I configure chrome to be able to access it?
