<t>jaygee said: I was on at 6am too and did get the register message from RS amongst all the mayhem to which I responded but got no confirmation. I was going to try again but then read a Tweet saying that the "register interest" screen was an error so I didn't try again. Later in t...

<t>error404 said: Most do not include an actual compass, they infer a heading from movement. Altitude is provided in the 3D GPS fix (though not very precise). It seems to me that an inexpensive Android tablet and some software can do everything you're looking for aside f...

<t>Ravenous said: SN said: Can you guess what it is? I can only see a few gates and things for the address decode, so I guess it's some sort of general I/O port to which you'd add your own device? (I assembled a few kits from Maplin and the like;...

<t>poing said: I never heard of them before, now I'll be a customer (ordered three days ago ). Never heard of them!!! They've been around for ages. Bizarrely whilst grubbing around in the garage looking for some components in a box I found some old keyboard caps ...

I got the 'non exciting' email from RS today too - I was f**ked by non-entry of company name at about 6.02'ish and by then it was too late...

SN

<t>more likely you got something missing from the Debian distro you have running inside VirtualBox – looks like zlib – pull it with the package manager I"m just starting down this road myself, downloaded the Fedora 16 CD ISO (if raspi is Fedora I thought I"d have my Linux VM as Fedora) an...

looks a bit dead TBH - no posts since October 2011 - seems to have spec of a NSLU2 with a screen...

SN

<t>As another option, I just pay for some linux hosting with fasthosts.co.uk behind my domain name – 3 or 4 quid a month – gets me a chunk of a linux server, some Gigs of Disk Space, PDP, a MySQL DB and a great little One Click installer so I installed phpBB, Coppermine, Joomla – oh and it has Pytho...

SN

no. you can try and go hdmi to dvi and then to vga but the dvi at that point will only have a dvi-d signal on it, not the dvi-a signal that vga needs

you'll need to spend some cash (£30 on ebay) for a clever box to do it

Are there any ICT teachers on this forum who can give us "the view from the coal face" as it were?

I gave up my School Governor's position a couple of years ago so I can't just go and ask the ICT Head of Dept anymore...

SN

<t>So lets go back 10 years further... When I started working on ICL Mainframes in 1985, the base model Series 39 (for about a quarter of a million quid as I recall) came fitted with 4Mb RAM. It came with two 8" hard drives as standard each 300Mb in size. Mag Tapes were proper reel-to-r...

Googling for raspi - most of the top ten results link to the raspi

Googling for rpi - just brings back retail price index links

Googling for RaspPI - google asks "Did you mean raspi!"

SN

Yes – we each have a hamster in a wheel driving an alternator - getting a reliable 5VDC to the raspi is going to be a bit of an issue though

SN

Am I correct in assuming that it is specifically DVI-D that will work as this is what can be pulled by simple converter from HDMI

And DVI-A is NOT going to work with the raspi

SN

<t>Its fairly obvious to me that cost is so important to the success of the raspi - whilst the majority of people on here wouldn't care so much whether a raspi was £20 or £50, they'd buy one (or two or three) no matter what but when you translate the impact onto an educational establishment who need...

SN

<r>The official answer to this is ACTUALLY in the FAQ - as is everything Go to <URL url="http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs">http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs</URL> and scan down to the BUYING AND SHIPPING section and you will see... BUYING AND SHIPPING Where can I buy o...

SN

aha - thanks Liz

SN

I have to ask why would you want to? there's two on the raspi already. and you can hang a powered hub of either of them.

SN

<t>I have in my past working life written code in Cobol, Lisp, Prolog, Fortran and even x86 Assembler but I don't think I'd be wanting to do that again so I won't be looking for interpreters or compilers in any of these for the raspi. Prolog was a real headscratcher, but very very clever ...

SN

<t>Cars is another good analogy We all know how to drive them But no-one knows how to build one or repair one from composite bits or make it do more interesting things - unless you're a restorer or garage mechanic Or Movies - we all will sit and watch a good movie, b...

SN

Just read enough of this thread to say, if the price point is OK (<£100) then I'm also registering my interest (in a more reliable and permanent way than at RS ) in a Gert Board

SN

not if someone gets a "porta-pi" sandwich design sorted consisting of:-

touch screen and battery forming the bread to the raspi's filling

SN

the raspi is going to do well in Wigan

SN

Arr - Pee - Eye is three syllables - clearly one too many - you'll be abbreviating the abbreviation to just Arrp at that rate

Which is why raspi works best

SN

raspi

its a clear winner, easy to ready, say, spell and is a simple contraction of the name of the beastie itself raspberry pi
