Hadlock posted:Bus Pirate is $30, for $55 you can get a Beagle Bone Black which plugs in to your PC in the same way (i.e. SSH in to the device over usb), but can run independent of the PC once you get the code sorted out. Comes with an onboard Python/Javascript IDE, also 4GB of onboard eMMC so you don't have to shell out $8 more for the SD card like you do for the Pi 2 (which is going for $45 on Adafruit right now, so $45 + 8 = $53, and doesn't have the "SSH over usb" capability of the BBB.) If you so choose do get the Pi 2 directly from element 14 for $35.

Recently the media player built into my LG TV has become unstable and most files go out of sync, there hasn't been a firmware update for months so I'm thinking of replacing it with a Rpi2 with something like XBMC installed, in addition to that I've got rid of my Sky subscription and was wondering if I could use the Rpi as a PVR For Freesat channels provided I got the relevant hardware. At the moment I use an openbox which is terrible for recording. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible???

Install OpenELEC on your Pi, buy a £2 MPEG-2 codec from the Pi shop, plug in a compatible DVB-S2 USB stick, install tvheadend from unofficial OpenELEC repo.

Given that we've moved onto the second generation of development boards wouldn't now be a prudent time to kill the thread and make it a generic thread for the Raspberry Pi and other boards: O-Droid, Beaglebone Black, Banana Pi etc etc?

Mantle posted:There used to be an embedded thread but I can't find it on mobile right now. And why does Arduino get is own thread then? I think there are a couple separate classes of device: Embedded controllers like Arduino and Edison (and also FPGA boards etc.), and single-board computers like Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone. Is that worth two threads? I don't know. The uses certainly overlap, since lots of people use SBCs as embedded controllers. But things like JTAG are probably more interesting to one group than another, and the same is true for which Linux media-center UI to use.

I think there's a pretty clear difference between an MCU / abstracted-MCU devboard like the Arduino, launchpad, etc. and a SoC computer like the Pi, etc. IMHO they're distinct enough categories to extract into two separate threads, but I don't make the call

http://www.businessinsider.com/raspberry-pi-2-camera-flash-glitch-turns-off-2015-2 This is an interesting flaw. If you take a picture using an Xenon flash it will cause the Pi2 to glitch out.

google for "xenon flash emp" yields two conflicting theories. I agree with the first one, but the second one has interesting osciliscope graphs. Not sure I buy "the raspberry pi is a solar panel!", but the chip acting as an antenna from the EMP blast created by the xenon flash sounds plausible.quote:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9016171 internets posted:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9015663

My Odroid arrived today and I'm toying around with it. It's actually smaller than my Raspberry Pi B which surprised me. The case that comes from the same site is both good and bad. It fits and is quite snug in there, no play at all. It even has a breakout for the GPIO if you plan on running a ribbon cable. However it's too loving snug, when I open it up I notice it presses in on the sides and has left marks on the board itself. I'm debating whether or not I want to remove the Ubuntu install and put Android on it or install OpenElec onto it. The idea always was to replace my Pi with a beefier machine.

Ok guys, quick question that I hope you can answer? I have to replace my old LaCie LaCinema HD - can't play mp4 files or anything newer than .avi, and deceided to go for a Raspberry Pi B+ setup running Raspbmc. Does any of you guys have experience in setting a system like that up? I mean, I've ordered the board, case, power supply and Flicr dongle - do I need a keyboard and mouse to set it up?

Kidney Stone posted:Ok guys, quick question that I hope you can answer? It's really simple. It's basically network setup and that's it. If it's connected to a tv that has CEC you can use your remotes control arrows to navigate the setup, however a keyboard will make it much quicker. You can also get the xbmc/Kodi app for your phone to use it as a remote but I haven't used that personally for a while.

I got mine last week and it is working like a charm (in headless mode). Unrelated question: Do any of you guys have trouble feeding the Raspberry Pi B+? Mine is very picky with the USB cables, and does not work with two cables which feed other raspberry pi Bs without any problem. But the B+ does not want to work with those: it enters a reboot loop and never goes beyond the kernel loading (it reboots as soon as it mounts the root partition). Except if I use two specific cables (which are not special in any way btw).

As soon as I unravelled it it stopped booting and did the same thing you're describing. Replaced it with an identical cable, coiled or uncoiled, and it works fine. It's certainly the most annoying thing about the pi.

It's certainly the most annoying thing about the pi. I think it comes in second place just after the brittleness of the SD card reader slot. Fortunately the + models use microSD, which seems to be a little bit harder.

Hmm running XBMC on Android with this O-Droid doesn't use HW decoding of MPEG2. Might be more prudent to run it under OpenElec or some distro.

So why are these available literally everywhere in Sweden? Are they doing some kind of staggered launch? I'm looking at picking one of these up with a tiny touch screen to make into an always-on IRC client. A sort of Goon IV if you will.

The Android app ecosystem is huge compared to the Linux one. Just playing Google Music is far easier in Android compared to Linux. Sure I could download Nuvola Player but it's still not perfect.
