You're a star for taking the trouble to post that...
Just what I needed to know and will try it out later..


Many many thanks

I'm playing with various things to get a bit more into Linux. I've set up a Pi as a GPS NTP server and it's working fine. It's on a home network and the NTP server Pi has a static ip of 192.168.0.30. On the same network, I can tell my Windows 7 laptop to use that ip address as it's internet time ser...

Raspbian Server Edition..

That was the one, many thanks

Guys..
I seem to remember somebody developing a cut down Pi SD card image just
for networking,,,

Could you point me to it?

Thank you
Philip

Many thanks for the image..

I've got several documents in both PDF & ODF (open office) formats, including a howto setup a motion webcam server using raspbian (should work with all debian based distro's). Check it out @ http://myskypi.org.uk Cheers mrlinux2u Thanks guys... Yes, I saw your Utube video and used your setup. Anyho...

Complete noob with all this but am experimenting with my Pi and have a web server running from it on my home network as well as a simple NAS server.. That works fine but I'm wondering if I can get a webcam server running at the same time using Motion.. The Motion instructions say to look for the sav...

I have updated and tested the Weather Station setup tutorial

Thanks very much for doing this...

I've got my Pi and a Maplin weather station which was on a sale price..
Looking forward to following your routines and getting this working..

Hi
I'm going to use a Pi as a simple in home NAS server.
The storage will be a USB 250Gb hard drive.

Is there a method in Linux to spin down the hard drive between reads and writes
to save power and disc wear?

Thanks
Philip

Got the Crontab statement working so now my little beacon is fully operational
under the control of my Pi

Huge thanks again for all the help...

Philip

WooooHoooo!

That worked...
Able to talk to and alter the data in the rig's chip...
Just got to sort out using Cron as suggested on the site for the timing and I'm up and running..

Can't thank you enough for sorting me out with this...

Ok will have a try at doing that, thank you...

It doesn't need the hardware to run as typing ./openbeacon should just list up the options such as openbeacon status which brings up the status of a connected device..

Philip

Ahhhhhhh!
Told you I was a Linux noob
So the file won't work on the PI....
At least now I know what the problem is and I'm not going crazy...

Will get in touch with Jason at Etherkit and see if he can help out on this..

Many thanks folks, you're stars..

Trying to get my Pi to run the software and timing for my Ham Radio beacon transmitter.. The operation is via USB to the beacon rig.. Followed the instructions for setting up on Linux from the beacon kit site.. http://docs.etherkit.com/OpenBeacon/Client_Software_Usage_Guide Downloaded the linux file...

Guys I want to buy a powered USB hub for my Pi but can't afford to buy two or three to get the right one. Not looking for the cheapest, just one that really works properly.. I need 7 ports, a more than adequate current supply from it's power supply and one that doesn't feed power back into the Pi. I...
