Hi I have used 2 "converted" mice to build a raspi internet radio in a nice wooden vintage radio shell. Why using mice? the idea was to have plenty of buttons and 2 wheels total of 5+3 instead of 8 buttons and 2 rotary encoders wich saves a lot of GPIO pins. Soft is fine MPD + python and I...

Hi there, embarking on the project to interface my old alarm ADE accenta 8 model. This is apparently a very common type in UK so this might be helpful for a lot of other noobs in hardware / electronics.

Hi, thx Tim for your help, I finally managed to find some working code in various forums...thx to all the guys that have written the below and the doc for PIP install etc... lets first install PIP: Install pip and virtualenv for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick and newer (by Saltycrane) $ sudo apt-get install ...

Hi Tim, many thx for your reply I will investigate this solution. skimming through the page seems to again to imply to define a screen though...will spend a good hour on the ex before posting again. On another note, I have found a linux prog called EVTEST that also allows to test events sent by USB ...

Hi, I have managed to setup my USB sound card correctly and can record or play (MPD, Aplay) things accordingly.
