I have several of these. At $16 US, its a great buy. Only takes 2 pins

True - but I'm in the US

and so are others that view this forum

I wanted to pass this along. I am not involved in this project other than I want one. I thought this forum my be interested in it. From the kickstarter site: "IoT power controller. Ideal for DIY home automation or industrial use. Durable and reliable. Connects to any micro. Priced right. "...

I have put together a complete tutorial which uses pikeyd.

http://phillystutorials.blogspot.com/20 ... rcade.html

Walks you through creating the arcade with advmame and pikeyd and includes instructions on how to wire up your GPIO.

Its a video cable. My monitor takes a 3.5mm video in. I use to use it with my model B, but had to run some adaptors to plug into the yellow video composite. But as we all know the B+ uses the 3.5mm composite out. As posted by one of the users on this thread, there are different types of 3.5mm cables.

PhillyNJ

Actually, the cable is male/male

Something like this:

My TV/Monitor accepts only a 3.5mm plug

Thanks - I most definitely think my composite cable is not compatible.

PhillyNJ

Thanks, but I am not using noobs.

PhillyNJ

Raspbian Wheezy - I suspect my Composite cable maybe the root cause of the issue. Tried a few siting in the config.txt and no luck.

Hi,

I finally got around to getting my b+. I am having trouble getting the composite video working. Is there a config setting I need to set to get the video to output to composite video?

Thanks

PhillyNJ

PhillyNJ

Awesome! I should have read the specs. Thanks all!

PhillyNJ

I corrected it. I meant composite video port. Thanks

PhillyNJ

What happened to the VGA (composite video port) on the B+? This was such a nice feature as I have used car monitors for displays. They are low priced and great for MAME Arcades. HDMI monitors are expensive.

* Correction : composite video port

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'll give it a shot. I am always looking for cool wireless peripherals for my Pi to help get ride of any extra wires. Yesterday, I picked up a Gigware Wireless Touchpad Keyboard for $14 US! I wash't sure if it would work on my Pi, so for $14...

Hi, One thing that's been driving me crazy was how cumbersome it is to mount network shares on my Raspberry PI. For OSX I need to use: mount_afp and for windows I need to use: mount If either one of my shares requires a password, the password is not masked, which I find to be troubling. If I want to...

PhillyNJ

Thanks all. I will go the safe route and add resistors. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks. if that was to happen, what damage to the Pi would/could happen?

PhillyNJ

Hi,

I have seen a few tutorials online on hooking up a button to a GPIO pin. Some use a pull-up resistor and some don't. If I'm sending 3.3v to the GPIO pin, do I need a resistor or not?

Thanks

Apple TV isn't another device? :lol: Since slow is a relative term and you asked "compared to what" - :o When you say "load" are you talking about transferring files to the Pi or time taken for it to start playing on the screen? My files (e.g movies) are on my network connected ...

PhillyNJ

Do you find OpenELEC loads this 22 minute video faster? No, I mean slow in general; not compared to another device. When it takes several minutes for the video to load, thats slow in todays world, no matter what device. Dont get me wrong, I love my Pi(s). But IMO Ithink a media center is just too m...

Slow in terms of how long it takes for a 22 minute video to load.

PhillyNJ

All I can say is RaspBmc is slow. I mean painfully slow. I know that its pretty remarkable that you can have a media center for $35, but its just too slow.
