I can't blame the developers for this. Every time there is a advance in technology, someone has to draw the line somewhere and set a release date for the new, improved model. For example, I've been bitten twice by purchasing Apple products that I assumed were the latest, greatest model, only to find...

I've been searching far and wide for G-35 and Pi information. So far, the only thing I've found was a post from someone who said that the timing cycles on the Pi were not always constant, resulting in random colored lights remaining on, even when you raised the process dispatch priority as high as p...

Here's the GE-35 50 bulb light set, interfaced to an Arduino:

Has anyone ported this to a Pi yet?

There are several websites which explain how to hack/interface the General Electric "GE 35" LED Christmas lights in order to make them controllable by an Arduino. Can a Pi controller be far behind? http://www.deepdarc.com/2010/11/27/hacking-christmas-lights/ (Costco has these lights in stock now, fo...

Just a heads up to people with problems attempting to use WinDisk32 on a Dell computer (Mine is an Optiplex 745). My Windows 7 system would not recognize a new card, no matter what I tried. I finally went to the Dell support website, and found a firmware update for my SDHC card reader. As soon as I ...

I think I found something that may work:

The closest thing I've found is an Adafruit tutorial: https://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/08/10/how-to-light-painting-with-raspberry-pi-piday-raspberrypi-raspberry_pi Her code converts a .png image into a bitmap, and then sends it to the digital RGB strip for use on a moving bike wheel. Close, but no...

It could prove very popular if you were able to add a function for paperless geocaching. See http://www.geocaching.com if you're not familiar with geocaching. Basically, the Pi would have to parse an XML file, then take you to those coordinates, plus integrate logging, etc. Many Garmin GPS units sup...
