Raspberry Pi & Lego RIS

... has any one experience of USB to serial under linux? has anyone successfully interfaced with RIS under linux? has anyone experience of getting a webserver to send commands/data to a serial port? Am I being way too ambitious? I want a project to do with my 10 year old son next winter, quality ...

Re: omxplayer play controls / input

Re: hosting a website on a raspberry pi ?

Switching an appliance on and off

... I could use the Pi as a switch to on/off an standard 240volt appliance? I'm pretty sure I could write the script and control it with an installed webserver but the electronics part would be far beyond me. It wouldn't need to be wired directly to the appliance, just switching on and off at the ...

Re: power: use as webserver and htpc at same time

The only thing I can say for sure is that you won't use S-Video directly. The R-Pi offers two video outputs: plain old-fashioned composite video, the kind you get from an old VHS deck, and HDMI. Maybe there is a HDMI to S-Video converter, but I don't know of one.

A Raspberry Pi does a good job of hosting a web server for a low number of users and will handle PHP and MySQL. The beauty of it is as a personal webserver, on the end of your broadband with port 80 forwarded, is that it can be left on 24x7, uses minimal power and generates no significant heat ...

Re: Server Idea/Possiblity

There is a couple of linux solutions for that, pound/Linux Virtual Server for example. I guess even iptables could do that ;)

But if you only want a couple of websites I suggest you run vhosting in either Apache or Nginx ( or whatever your favorite webserver is ).
