The Archimedes Public Domain Library formerly owned and maintained by Dave Holden, is once again available on line courtesy of his estate and friends.... http://www.apdl.org.uk/apdlpd/library/library.htm Many, if not all of the items have already been upgraded to 32-bit compatible. Not just games Re...

Well I don't think its the SD card readers as I've probably inserted & removed SD cards less than 10 times for each RPi in the 1 year I've owned them. Phil: Well in that case, its worth trying a few repeated insertions of the cards to 'wipe' the contacts, and then try again. It costs nothing to try...

Not really, since I 'raised the issue' for discussion purposes, rather than reporting a fault. Isn't that what a Forum is for???

Opinions.

Would it be a useful idea to add the licence key entry / line editing as an option in the Config program ?.... So that; a user can clearly see what licences are enabled in their Pi (or just those which match that particular Pi ?) So that Licences can be added easily - but not deleted - [although thi...

Greetings I havn't yet ordered any licences for my Pi's; or I'd probably have discovered the answer to this by now 8-) (But searching the forum on codec licence revealed no related question and answer) I plan, partly for convenience and interchangeability, to order the same licences for each of my P...

128 64 32 16 08 04 02 01 > 8 bits would be sufficient to identify a SINGLE note out of the 88, with a spare for the dampening pedal - and this value could be loaded into a register ['next' latch 1], and then clocked through on time ['now' latch 2]... but would be a single note at a time eg a 'Rolf H...

If you use the VIdeo Out mode (ie no HDMI cable connected) when starting up the RISCOS image (I'm using the on from about a week ago, with Netsurf etc) then you get a rescaled version of the 1080 screen - and its 480i in NTSC (3.58MHz subcarrier) In !Edit <Menu> >> Display will allow a larger font s...

Last night I received the email from Parcel Force - pre-warning of my delivery (sent before it was collected) According to tracking which became available this morning, it arrived at my local Aldershot Depot and was loaded on the delivery van about 02.30. It reached here about 11.00 - was duly signe...

To add insult to injury, my invoice is for £33 instead of the £27 i was told over the phone.

Better late than never.

Phil: I was only ever told the 33(.06) over the phone. CPC sent it 1st class, unlike ELement14 who send them 2nd class

Hmm ... I ordered March 12th. Initial email said it would ship in May. Then followup email in April said the end of June. It's June 25th and I have yet to receive any further communication on my order. I expect to be disappointed. It would seem being among the first to order makes no different as t...

Have those who are complaining so vociferously about shippping fees and the regreable addons charged at the far end - about which I tend to agree - but CAVEAT EMPTOR - it applies to all of us according to the laws and practices of the county we live in: CONSIDER THE INCREASED processing and shipping...

[quote="varkey"]Its just a hub right, it should be fine! I'm installing a Pi alongside a Powered Hub, a Picaxe board and another 5V board: So that they all power up together I'll be using a multi-drop Power cable (eg Maplin: 1 socket and 6 matching 2.1mm power plugs) I'll either use a 2.1mm to Micro...

Sorry but there is something i don't understand. There is 2 tables : - order shipping table - order invitation schedule I have been invited the June 21th and my order number is 44465. so in the order shipping table, i can see it will be shipped before the July 1st. You HAVE been 'invited to order' ...

My CPC Pi arrived in the post yesterday morning; next day delivery without problem , but I had no time to do other than transfer it to its protective case, as I was heading to my schools' 75th reunion. Just tried it on RISCOS this morning, and its working okay. WIll have time to sort out a Linux ima...

Phil: Was that perhaps movement between the differing terminals at Heathrow? - starting in the cargo area???, and then going on a passenger plane?

Phil Spiegel

Some of those of us who have ordered via CPC may want to make sure they are contactable via their contact info [phone] - if they, like me, needed to supply updated Card details (my old card having expired in April). Mine is now being despatched today

Phil Spiegel

[conjecture on my part:] Perhaps not just a correction of the delivery schedule for those of us overlooked CPC customers, but also the QT400 who were supposed to have been supplied from the original 2000 .... but who had presumably got postponed from the Foundation's schedule due to the lack of avai...

Rumours of Pi coming to Fruition... now that apparently CPC are allowed access to Farnell's stock 8-) I may soon have a Pi to work on: Coinciding also with finding my Roco (Serial) Rocomotion intereface - for which we have the published protocol .. so soon, the stalled project to produce our own Dis...

Phil Spiegel

That's weird. I ordered March 30 and have not even received a delivery date. It does seem like UK orders are favoured. (Netherlands here) Phil: On the contrary! If you ordered via the CPC part of Farnell, as I did, amongst others, because of having an account, and their site was not 'down' on the 2...

........., the only problems Russian customs seem to have is with food, which never gets through. Though thats common in lots of places, Australia, NZ etc. I can't see why you would have any trouble sending a Pi ;) Better be careful how you describe it on the customs form then! If FOOD is blocked, ...

As I've written on other. earlier threads, I'm a Farnell via CPC orderer [as I had an existing account, it seemed a way past dead sites] - and although I've received NONE of the Farnell communications, an email query back to CPC on May1st confirmed I WAS still in the queue, and reconfirmed my order ...

Phil Spiegel

You could look up 'Picaxe' or Revolution Software and then 'their' Ultrasonic measuring module and how its used on the Picaxe /PIC micro.
It seems ot be similar.

Have you tried 'Tweeting' Liz ? - the front page www.raspberrypi.org seems to carry a frequently monitored / commented on / updated stream of 'Tweets' (don't ask me how, I'm not a tweeter or facebook user)

As others have suggested: there are 2 basic approaches - but both could be optimised if the specific absorbtion spectra were known of the intended compounds; so as to use a suitable (range of) light sources: Aproach 1 the 'camera' method: RELY on a continuous white light spectrum (eg a bulb not a Wh...

Lucky you guys... I ordered mid-March from Element14 and still haven't received anything... In the case of RS orders, though, the phrase 'ordered' is in response to the Invitation to Order. The Farnell/E14 'order' is time-wise equivalent to the 'Expression of Interest' allowed at RS As a guide, my ...
