Surely if you can turn make the IPlank run a Wifi Hotspot then you just configure your Pi wireless adaptor settings for the WLAN your iPlank has created? Android has had this feature for years. :roll: (and panoramic photos for those who are amazed by this NEW feature) For zero config on the Pi, get ...

Hi, for playing, e.g., Zork I have found the post at http://kimondo.co.uk/play-zork-on-the-raspberry-pi/. The installation is done (as root) with these lines: apt-get install -y frotz wget -U firefox http://www.infocom-if.org/downloads/zork1.zip wget -U firefox http://www.infocom-if.org/downloads/z...

a few years later... anyone play Sierra On Line's Kings Quest and Space Quest series with extremely blocky EGA graphics - and of course their infamous relation "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards" - possibly the best named game EVER

seen this a couple of times using the cheapo Aldi 8Gb cards - have thrown them away

Isn't there a danger that the stocks of 256 mb models won't sell due to the new 512 upgraded version, this could annoy end retailers who have bought stocks of the 256 model. for simple programming 256 should be more than enough, not necessarily - I'd like a Rev 2 256Mb board just for the rarity of ...

As NEITHER of my bridge cameras can talk to gphoto2 :roll: and santa won't bring me an EOS xxxD :( I'm looking to pick up a cheap 2nd hand compact camera to play with gphoto2 on the pi looks like a canon ixus is a good option - can anyone clarify whether the camera needs MORE than ptp mode support t...

Does anyone know of a place that has (current!) UK stock? Tandy's site is a bit misleading, as on this page http://www.tandyonline.co.uk/gertboard-deluxe-kit.html it says, "Availability: In stock" - yet the second you add it to your basket you're greeted with a message saying, "This product is not ...

Cheers alex - EDIT and below is the User Manual NOT the Assembly Manual.... :roll: For those like me, who took a while to track down the Gertboard user manual, here is a direct link to the Farnell copy http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1642649.pdf Suggest someone stick this link (with other useful l...

you need to link in some missing libraries - I assume there is a makefile for the supplied programs which will show you what you're missing

For the record. . . Practise makes perfect or at the very least makes for speedup. I fair whizzed through the 10 cap strip this afternoon and motored on past the sockets with ease. Next problem is I can't see which way round the LED's need to be soldered

SN

Not strictly true, Burngate. Computer output devices used both Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) devices and hard-copy devices over the years. In 1949, the first (British) stored-program computer, EDSAC, used a CRT, derived from radar displays, for its binary output. (Input was by means of a rotating telephon...

Related... I think... If anyone fancies doing this, I'd appreciate a 'how-to' / circuit diagram / atmega programming for NEMA 17 stepper motors - they seem 10-a-penny on ebay and look like a cheap option for making things 'move' using a Pi/Gertboard Combo

SN

@Tandy - I'm using an Antex CS18 and have bought the three tip pack from Maplins today - however since I couldn't get the original 2.x mm tip off I've been using that. Apart from 'blobbing' the solder a bit more than I should, the method you describe is how I have been working this afternoon Its sti...

I have an original 7" Galaxy Tab on a mount on my windscreen - this has a beautiful 1024x600 resolution screen, if you can get an Android VNC client there's your answer because the Tab can run a wireless access point which a Pi can talk to with one of those tiny USB Wireless Adaptors - on ebay for l...

My Tandy Deluxe kit arrived yesterday (only 4 or 5 days after ordering too) and this evening I thought I'd crank up the soldering gear to make a start... Sh*t those Surface Mount components are sooooooooooooooooooo small. I got R23 on and ground to a halt at R4/R24 I need to get down to Maplins in t...

Just ordered a Deluxe Kit from Tandy. Like every wet-behind-the-ears 18 year old trainee I passed through the Wiring School at the old ICL factory in Ashton back in 1983 - so was taught how to solder well, so in theory this should be a doddle (no SMT back then though). I have just about kept my hand...

One day... after 100 million

Rev 2 boards have been made and sold and the world is a better place, Rev 1 boards will be collectors items and will command as much on ebay as they did in April/May this year

SN

just a suggestion - i've just acquired a makey-makey and it would be perfect for any (upto 20) binary sensors you need for your project - either bumpers or even end of travel stops on moving joints
