Hmmm, still think I prefer 3127, sorry

IMHO the consistent colouration and being able to read the text on the chips is more important than being able to read the text on the top of the ethernet jack

Edit: at least for my purposes anyway.

AndrewS

I think as the Gertboard is "semi-official" (

) it'll probably be more popular than the other addon boards, so IMHO it makes sense to leave a separate forum for Gertboard and discuss the other GPIO boards in "Addons" ?

AndrewS

Works fine for me

Do you need to check your profile settings?

AndrewS

Also... I guess the mods can't possibly hope to be able to re-categorise all existing topics into one of the new sub-forums. Maybe there should be a specific (stickied) thread where people could suggest which sub-forum a particular old topic should be moved to? And maybe there should be more languag...

I believe the biggest lists of glitches so far are

I hate to sound picky about such great photos... :( I prefer the everything-in-focus of DSC_3185.jpg but I prefer the colour/lighting of DSC_3127.jpg (in 3815 you can't read the text on the chips and there's a bit of "glare" in the corners) I appreciate that getting such good pictures of such a tiny...

It seems to have the same 3.1.9 kernel as the current Fedora 14 and Debian releases (built March 4). Will there be a different kernel in the final release? It's the same base version number of the kernel, but it's not in fact the same kernel ;) The RPi Foundation have been making regular updates/pa...

AndrewS

Cool, nice to see things more organised

In the announcement of the forums change-over, Eben promised that all permalinks to old topics/posts would continue to work with the new forums. Will that still hold true, with the "splitting and copying" of old threads?

AndrewS

Demos like that are almost always written in assembly language (in this case x86), making it impossible* to port to a different CPU architecture, such as ARM used by the Raspberry Pi.

*until proven otherwise

ArmedSlack Image is ready. I need hosting. http://rpi-developers.com might be a good place for hosting? ;) I don't have any affiliation to the site, but it seems designed for exactly this kind of large-file-hosting, and when I had problems getting my email address registered (which embarrassingly t...

http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... f=2&t=6093 says that the latest kernel & firmware improves SD card "issues". And IIRC there's a topic about samba which says the latest kernel fixes USB stability issues too...

AndrewS

Nice to see that they've given https://github.com/teamkylo/kylo-browser/wiki/Build-Instructions and not just a raw source-code dump, which is the "Open Sourcing" approach taken by some companies. Never used (or heard of) Kylo but it seems to be based on top of Mozilla's cross-platform XULRunner so m...

I suspect at this very early stage that's totally undefined. Chances are it might be one of the OpenMAX layers again?

AndrewS

I've found that in my later years, a large beanbag makes crouching/sitting in front of the TV much more comfortable and less pins-and-needles inducing

AndrewS

I suspect you might get faster results using the Raspbian distro, which makes better use of the RPi's FPU.

AndrewS

I'm expecting that the tiny size of the RaspberryPi will mean it gets "hidden inside" lots of other things

Like some of the projects on http://www.mini-itx.com/projects.asp but even mini-er

AndrewS

Maybe just a pixel-font style "RPi" ?

AndrewS

But is the Pi likely to see this extra speed in the near future. That's not clear at this point, it seems we may expect something more than we currently get. I wouldn't expect that to happen until some of the other sdcard problems get sorted out though. See this thread for something more http://www...

AndrewS

Standardization?! It took the effort of the EU just to standardize the cellphone charger connection

AndrewS

I'm personally just interested of shots of the whole board, from both sides please. The less colour/flash distortion the better, and it's also nice if I don't have to do too much perspective-correction in GIMP :) And if they're on a neutral background (no rulers ;) ) it's easier for me to create the...

AndrewS

You decided not to use raspberry-coloured beads?

I remember my sister used to play with these, and fimo too.

AndrewS

the two hi-res beta board links on the wiki seem to be dead now too. I found that the beta-board image links (as well as several other links on the wiki) do work if you replace blahblah.cloudfront.net/ with http://www.raspberrypi.org/ Maybe they were some kind of "content mirror" service that's now...

mahjongg: forgive my naivety / newbie-ness, but if that's the case how come there's so much talk "on the internet" about i2c level converters/conversion?
