Using a similar method I have a C program that calculates pi to a million decimal places

It took 2 days 7 hours. If there is any interest I'll post up the code.

- no just paste up the result

A true 'quick-start guide' would be written along the lines of bish-bash-bosh-off you go... with things explained simply, minimally, thoroughly and in order without jargon. 1 - 2 - 3 steps with info-graphics could help. It would take the user from having a pile of bits to sitting infront of the desk...

Everything is easy when you know how - but often the simplest things can make you feel like this:

when they are unfamiliar.

Thanks again nr. - I adapted yout makefile and I am now getting errors and warnings, so things are being acknowledged and found - which is progress!

I have identified my problem as beeing two of the component files sharing the same header file, but it only being seen by one of them...

I think they would certainly get a flood of pledges if they themselves pldged to a Pi version rather than teasing and hinting at it.

pygmy_giant

so the pi could turn itself off?

rurwin said: It is a little too dedicated to RiscOS for my liking. I think the worlds too Linux-centric - why should they get all the books? I'm attracted to this one partly because of its RISC OS bias. The other reason is that my understanding is that once you're proficient in assembler you can do ...

pygmy_giant

do they sound like us?

I hope not

We all think you do fantastic work

Is that whats meant by 'mindshare' ?

Edit: nope - its this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_share

pygmy_giant

Whats 'mindshare' ? I'm guessing it's a PR term? I'm also guessing that the income for 2012/13 will be substantially greater than 2011/12 and will give the foundation a spring board for delivering on its more fundamental educational goals. It will be interesting to see what unfolds - it looks like c...

Interesting. If you are nosey like me you can look the foundation up on the Charity Commission website: http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithoutPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1129409&SubsidiaryNumber=0 They do not appear to have enough income to pay a s...

free RTOS has been done by someone else

If its in an (almost) sealed box made from a thermaly insulating material then the pi itself could be an ideal ready-made gently heating element.

pygmy_giant

Hats off to the author for being methodical and thorough and to your son for learning a valuable skill that could serve him well in later life. If I could erase my memory and learn programming again I might start with assembler as then I would be learning about how computers work at the same time. I...

That little driver board you got with it however is fantastic as a ULN2003 breakout - you can connect it directly to the Pi and use it for loads of other things.

I got one and they are slow - you get what you pay for.

This has been highlighted elsehwere on the forum:

could come in handy.

Hi - on your blog you said: For this project, yes, a switch probably would be better in order to isolate the movement of the letterbox from other movements in my hallway. However, I probably won’t be including one just yet, as the current system is mainly a test of the hardware that I plan to put in...

Thanks Arjun - this could be what I am looking for for my unfinigshed balancing robot. I need some kind of task scheduler that can check the bots posture every 10us but also alow it to perform tasks that might take longer than 10us. I wil investigate further.

It's BIgger, faster, better vs smaller & cheaper. My sister told me today that she is excited about upgrading Samsung S3 with free bundled tablet. I told her I'm still made up that I am still using the basic Pay as you go (Samsung) phone that I bought for £5 over a year ago. Why buy tomorrows tech a...

Why not just build a robot cat - less mess

I could use a 'someone called at your house while you were out' alert - especially when expecting deliveries.
