I saw that the other day too and thought the same thing

So I guess to model A's will have a blank spot not only for the ethernet but for the LAN9512 chip (assuming they run it straight off the ARM which I'm assuming they do as it would save cost)

<t>My only desire for a windows based r-pi would be ease of integration. I've used linux a lot and there's always some weird ghost in the shell when it comes to getting SMB working correctly. I get it in the end, but if I had the choice I rather have out of the box instant integration. Until Linux h...

Actually, the r-pi at this time is planned to be able to accept anything from 6-20V without the need for any special add-ons.

abishur

check out the first FAQ, on the FAQ page link in this post

abishur

It's actually a phono plug

but most people recognize it as an "RCA" cable.

abishur

I'm sure your profile picture isn't hinting at any sort of bias in OS choices either

<r>We were actually discussing this on another thread (I forget which one, I think we were off topic <E>:P</E> ) when it was mentioned that even with ARM support windows 8 (or CE for that matter) will not work on the r-pi. The issue at hand is this little binary blob in the broadcom chip. Basic broa...

I thought it was pretty cool this morning when I opened my browser to discover that the forum membership size had just topped 500! Pretty cool indeed.

abishur

Well... doesn't that technically depend on how many volts it actually drawing? He might be using a power supply rated up to 7.5 volts, but it he actually drawing that much out of it?

abishur

lol, can we bribe our way onto that select list?

abishur

That's why I suggested they look at the "Read before Posting" tread rather than searching for DVI/VGA

abishur

<r>The "Read before posting" thread (which can be found in my signature) details the outputs the r-pi has. The wiki page is also an amazing resource. Among other things they mention that the r-pi also includes a composite RCA output for TVs/monitors that do not support HDMI. The idea of offering a H...

It is my understanding that at this time the R-pi will not support PoE

I'm not sure if that's because the LAN 9512 chip can't support it, or because the cost of integrating it out be too high, but for now the answer is no.

abishur

<t>Well... actually all we know about the Model A is that it doesn't have ethernet or the second USB port. It's most likely that the two boards are identical except for whether or not they actually put the devices on the board. That is to say it's possible that the Model A will have the spot for the...

<r>Welcome to the forums Bloodred! Be sure to check out our "Read before posting" thread as it contains some basic information about the r-pi, and our wiki as it contains a LOT of detail information (both can be found in my signature). You might be particularly interested in this thread about GPIOs,...

abishur

Actually the r-pi also has pinouts for mipi DSI out as well.

abishur

For information on specifics check out the links in my signature. Pay special attention to our read before posting thread as it answers some basic questions and the wiki as it will give some high level information.

<r>Quote from Svartalf on August 17, 2011, 00:10 Heh... You KNOW you want to geek out... <E>:D</E> (BTW- where are you finding SSRs for $1-2US? Best price I've found is $6, and I'd be a bit leery of the parts at that price since the going rate's a bit higher for them...) <...

abishur

<r>And don't forget to read the "Read before posting" thread (a link can be found in my signature) it answers some basic questions and gives some good links for additional information (such as links to the previously mentioned wiki) There's been some confusion about how open source the r-...

abishur

<r>well in theory you could use any of those, you'd just have to make sure to wire enough of them to get the voltage right and enough amps to keep the whole thing powered for enough time to make the whole thing worth while <E>:P</E> My thought for making it work is to use a good Li-ion ba...

abishur

I can quiet assure you that it is not micro. Check the video at the 3 minute marker. Eben definitive states that it is full sized and why it is full sized.

abishur

They will all be full sized (that goes for USB as well). In the video on the main page Eben explains that full sized components were agreed upon for durability

abishur

<r>Indeed they are quality at good prices, but it's kinda hard to mess up an SSR. If I really wanted to geek it out, I suppose I could just make my own ssr.... Edit: Oh yeah, I kinda assumed designing the drivers would go hand and hand with designing the programs, but if I'm very lucky th...

<t>Quote from Svartalf on August 16, 2011, 04:45 You're not going to be able to drive the valves via the GPIOs on the R-Pi. You're going to have to drive them with something else...relays, etc. And you're going to have to come up with the bit-banger stuff for it. In the p...

abishur

I can make the system cheaper than that using the r-pi. That's the thing with these pre-builts they have a nice little markup to cover the cost of someone else making them.
